Golden Ten Data reported on July 7 that a recording from a ship's public radio channel near the Strait of Hormuz shows that in the early morning of the 7th local time, a liquefied natural gas carrier in the Gulf of Oman sent out multiple distress signals after being attacked, reporting that the engine room was on fire but the crew were safe. In this recording provided to reporters by a merchant seaman, the attacked vessel reported that the engine room was on fire with thick smoke, it was impossible to further assess the damage to the hull, but all crew members were safe and had assembled on the starboard side. The attacked vessel requested support from nearby coastal radio stations and naval forces. The seaman told reporters that, based on the vessel name reported by the attacked ship, it was a liquefied natural gas carrier. Such carriers transport flammable cargo, and there is a high safety risk after being attacked.

Golden Ten Data reported on July 7 that data released by the Japanese government on Tuesday showed that Japan’s real wages in May rose by 1.4% year-on-year, marking the fifth consecutive month of growth. However, the growth rate has slowed as consumer inflation picked up again. The average nominal wage in May (i.e., cash income) increased by 3.2% year-on-year to 311,165 yen (approximately $1,917.69), lower than the revised 3.6% increase in April. As the effects of the Iran war began to be reflected in consumer prices, consumer inflation accelerated, causing the year-on-year growth rate of real wages in May to slow to 1.4%, down from the revised 2.0% in April. Base wages in May grew by 3.0% year-on-year, compared to a revised increase of 3.3% in April. Overtime pay rose by 2.9% year-on-year, lower than the revised 4.8% in April. Although Japanese companies have achieved an average annual wage increase of over 5% for the third consecutive year, the cost of living is likely to continue rising in the coming months, as the weak yen drives up import costs and the previous increase in energy prices gradually passes through to the prices of various consumer goods. The Bank of Japan raised interest rates last month to their highest level in 31 years and stated that sustained increases in wages and prices are prerequisites for further rate hikes.
