BlockBeats message. August 12, according to a report by Bloomberg, data from UBS Group shows that commodity trading advisers (CTAs) aiming to profit from movements in various asset prices increased their underweight bond positions by two times in July compared with two weeks earlier.
Since then, these bets have remained steady. Ahead of the upcoming U.S. consumer and producer price index, if the data pushes Treasury prices higher, these CTA trades face the risk of losses.
According to strategist Nicolas Le Roux, ahead of the release of inflation data, for every 1-basis-point move in the 10-year Treasury yield, the scale of CTAs’ profit and loss is about $300 million, with exposure at the highest level since UBS began compiling relevant data in 1990.

BlockBeats message, August 11, Qatar’s LNG shipment volumes rose to the highest level since March, suggesting the country is preparing for a possible reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
Lusailaflan Port’s average daily LNG loading volume is about 80,000 tons, but this level is still down by approximately 60% compared with the same period last year. Among Qatar’s 14 LNG production trains, 7 show signs of being brought back online, indicating that production disrupted by the fighting is gradually recovering.
However, whether exports can fully rebound still depends on shipping access through the Strait of Hormuz. Relevant diplomatic negotiations are underway, but there is no guarantee that an agreement can be reached.

BlockBeats message, August 11: Iran’s highest national security council secretary Rezaei issued a statement: “The United States is the maker of insecurity in the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz, and the Gulf of Oman. By imposing an illegal war on Iran, it has put the entire region in danger. As long as the United States does not change its behavior and does not accept Iran’s conditions, the Strait of Hormuz will not be reopened. The United States must end the war, pay the frozen Iranian funds, and the war in the entire region—including in Lebanon and Gaza—must come to an end. In addition, other conditions conveyed to the U.S. through intermediaries must also be met. If Iran reaches an agreement with Oman regarding the Strait of Hormuz transit passage, that agreement will be handled separately from the issue of the blockade of the strait.”
BlockBeats message, on August 11, Iran stated that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the relevant conditions are met.
