Sept 23, Beijing — The eighth China‑OPEC high‑level dialogue was held, co‑chaired by National Energy Administration director Wang Hongzhi and OPEC Secretary‑General Haitham Al Ghais. Officials exchanged views on the global energy market, the energy transition and deeper cooperation, and reported broad consensus. Wang said China regards OPEC as an important partner in global energy governance and is willing to continue cooperation to deepen oil and gas policy coordination, strengthen energy‑transition collaboration, jointly engage in changes to global energy governance and help safeguard the long‑term healthy, stable development of global energy markets.

On Thursday, following a sharp rise in Brent crude, the 30-year US Treasury yield rose about 4bps to 5.44%, its highest level since 2004. Yields across the curve had already surged earlier this week, leaving several maturities near highs not seen since 2007. Columbia Threadneedle portfolio manager Ed Al-Hussainy said investors now require greater compensation to lock funds for 30 years. Stronger growth, elevated energy prices, persistent inflationary pressure and larger government borrowing are pushing long-term yields higher and intensifying pressure on long-dated Treasuries. The rise in 30-year yields has undercut Treasury efforts to lower long-term funding costs; the Treasury under Bessent expanded its government bond buyback program in mid‑August to ease market stress, but the measure has not produced a sustained market impact.
