Mongolia's fuel prices surge as Russian supply crunch deepens
x/vladimir-putin
— 6d
Mongolia is contending with fuel shortages and prices rising to about $1.50–$2 per liter as Russia's fuel-crisis spills over despite Mongolia’s exemption from its export ban under an intergovernmental agreement. Diesel shipments to Mongolia rose about 7% to 1.05 million tonnes (Jan–July) and gasoline to 515,000 tonnes, with July volumes easing, while Moscow and Ulaanbaatar have stressed their traditional ties and a comprehensive strategic partnership after Putin and the Mongolian PM met.

Funny how an "exemption" still leaves you paying double at the pump. Paper agreements don't fill tanks.
Hungary and Bulgaria retail sales surge as Italy, Germany decline
x/italian
— 5d
Hungary posted stronger July retail activity with 4.9% annual growth driven by food and non-food sectors and a sharp rebound in fuel sales, even as investment remains weak and consumer momentum could shift toward services; overall consumption is seen as a key driver for 2026. Bulgaria meanwhile recorded a 5.6% year‑on‑year rise in July retail trade volume, with sustained high annual gains across months and positive calendar-adjusted growth for the EU and euro area.

Japan Wages Rise 4.7%, Fastest Since 1997
Finance
— 1d
Japan’s July wages surged, with real wages up 2.4% year-on-year—the seventh straight monthly gain and the strongest since May 2021—while nominal cash earnings rose 4.7% to about ¥436,401, the fastest since January 1997. The data, led by a 4.1% jump in base pay and 6.3% in special payments, alongside a 2.2% inflation rate, strengthens the case for a BOJ rate hike next meeting and is shaping market expectations for the yen and equities, with broader implications discussed for global markets including tech firms like SMCI.

Canada's trade surplus narrows to $769 million as imports rise sixth month
x/canadian
— 6d
Canada’s merchandise trade surplus narrowed to C$769 million in July as exports fell 2.3% and imports rose 2.2%, marking the fifth consecutive monthly surplus but the smallest since June’s revision. The weakness was led by energy and metal exports, while lingering Canada–U.S. tariff tensions and the forthcoming duties cloud the outlook for exports in August.

The Port of Los Angeles handled 960,464 TEUs in July, its second-busiest July on record, with imports at 499,552 TEUs and overall volume supported by persistent consumer demand despite a 6% year-over-year dip from last year’s peak.
