MediSun Energy and JA Sign Ecosystem MoU at DRT SHOW Chengdu to Build Zero-Carbon Water Systems for Island and Coastal Environments

CHENGDU, China, Aug. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MediSun Planet Pte Ltd ("MediSun Energy"), a leader in integrated water technology, signed an Ecosystem Partnership Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) today with JA at the DRT SHOW Chengdu International Diving & Resort Travel Expo ("DRT"). The collaboration aims to pioneer a zero-carbon water ecosystem using VASAR—MediSun's miniaturised seawater desalination solution—to address the dual challenges of water scarcity and low-carbon development in island and coastal environments.

By cross-integrating photovoltaic (PV) technology with miniaturised seawater desalination, the two companies will deliver an integrated "PV + Energy Storage + Smart Energy + Seawater Desalination + ESG" framework. This joint offering directly targets the "three highs" long plaguing remote island infrastructure: high energy consumption, high carbon emissions, and high operating costs.

The partnership seamlessly combines the highly complementary capabilities of both industry leaders:

• JA will provide foundational green power capabilities through its JAx ecosystem platform, deploying integrated PV, battery energy storage, and smart energy systems alongside digital, ESG, and market branding support.
• MediSun Energy will deliver its VASAR series—a breakthrough in miniaturised seawater desalination that condenses industrial-grade water production into a compact footprint—supplying technical specifications and operational expertise for coastal and island deployments.

Off-grid islands and marine conservation zones far from mainland power grids face immense operational hurdles. Traditional municipal plants and grid expansions are prohibitively expensive, rainwater collection is weather-dependent, and diesel-powered desalination creates heavy carbon footprints while risking fuel pollution at sea.

By pairing solar power with MediSun Energy's VASAR miniaturised desalination units, the joint solution eliminates the need for land-heavy civil works, fossil fuel generators, or traditional grid connections. The system purifies seawater on-site with zero carbon emissions, lower operating expenses, and measurable ESG value.

Joseph Chua, President & Co-Founder of MediSun Planet Pte Ltd, stated: "Remote islands and fragile coastal eco-zones are on the front lines of water scarcity and climate vulnerability. Traditional desalination requires extensive land, permits, grid access, and massive infrastructure—the problem was never the membrane, but everything built around it. By miniaturising seawater desalination into our compact VASAR systems and pairing them with JA's world-class renewable energy platform, we are delivering an end-to-end, zero-carbon solution that guarantees long-term water security while protecting marine ecosystems."

Sure Liu, JA's Chief Sustainability Officer and President of Global Brand & Marketing, added: "Through our open JAx ecosystem platform, JA is committed to moving beyond standalone PV products to build integrated 'PV + Storage + Smart Energy' solutions across diverse industries. Partnering with MediSun Energy allows us to extend clean power directly into essential water infrastructure, creating a scalable, zero-carbon model for island development, eco-tourism, and coastal conservation globally."

The agreement marks a key milestone in expanding renewable energy applications into critical water infrastructure, providing a standardized blueprint for low-carbon upgrades, sustainable tourism, and global energy transition.

MediSun Energy and JA Sign Ecosystem MoU at DRT SHOW Chengdu to Build Zero-Carbon Water Systems for Island and Coastal Environments

JAKARTA, Indonesia, Aug. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- JustMarkets just released an insight about how CPI surprises truly drive forex market volatility and How to prepare for it. On CPI day, the headline inflation number itself doesn't move the market—it's already priced in. Instead, the real driver for currency pairs like EUR/USD is the gap between actual figures and market expectations.

Even a 3.4% reading can cause the dollar weakness if traders expect higher inflation. And the opposite scenario – weaker numbers that beat consensus expectations may drive the dollar strength. According to Federal Reserve research, the price driver here is a surprise component rather than the headline.

"The true catalyst for forex volatility isn't the inflation figure itself, but how wildly it deviates from market consensus," said JustMarkets's representative. "Traders who focus solely on the headline often miss the real market drivers."

Why the Expectation Gap Is More Important Than the Level

Forex is driven by expectations for interest rate decisions. And inflation plays its role by impacting expectations for future central bank policy. This is the reason why identical numbers may cause completely opposite reactions at different times. It depends on how they compare to market positioning.

Main factors:

• Monthly CPI and core CPI
• Core services inflation
• Revisions to the previous period data
• Central banks policy pricing

Year-over-year data is less important in terms of price impact than monthly and core data.

How to Calculate Surprise

Start with the simplest metric: Surprise = Actual CPI − Consensus CPI.

Consensus comes from the economic calendar's forecast and reflects the market positioning. And then you need to check the market reaction through rates. The sequence typically runs: CPI surprise → change in front-end yields → USD movement → the sentiment adjustment.

Traders frequently employ this methodology in combination with the JustMarkets Economic Calendar to track high-impact releases in real time.

What the Intraday Move Actually Looks Like

CPI reactions usually happen in three stages. The first one is a headline shock with the potential algorithms' reaction within a few seconds. Then comes the interpretation stage, with a time frame of 15-60 minutes and analysis of core numbers and yield confirmation. And then either continuation or reversal happens.

Approaches to Trading CPI Day

There are two common approaches to CPI.

• The momentum approach requires the consistency of headlines and core surprises with yields' confirmation. Most traders wait until the first minute's candle is closed to avoid false signals.
• The fade approach requires dislocations like the absence of yield confirmation to FX movement or dislocations between headlines and core numbers. In this case, traders usually wait 10−20 minutes for exhaustion of the initial move and reversal setup search.

Risk management is crucial. Most traders limit their position size to 0.25%-0.50% of their equity because of widening spreads and slippage. Sometimes the decision to trade off is more optimal during extreme volatility than forced entry.

How to Prepare for the Next CPI Day Release

One way to get ready is to monitor EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY pairs and an economic calendar with events' importance. The workflow is: Economic calendar → release → Trading platform.

The final step brings traders to the execution platform. Many turn to JustMarkets, which offers CFDs on these currency pairs, with execution stability and fast market access that make it well suited for high-volatility macro events.
