According to a Reuters poll, all 12 economists surveyed expect the Hungarian central bank to cut its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 5.75% on July 21.July 17th - Eurozone inflation cooled slightly in June, remaining unchanged from the preliminary reading. Overall inflation was -0.1% month-on-month, primarily driven by a decline in energy price inflation (-1.8%). Looking at the breakdown, further cooling of energy prices led to a continued decline in overall year-on-year inflation, with the energy price inflation rate falling from 10.8% in May to 8.5% in June. Meanwhile, food and service price inflation also slowed further. The food price inflation rate fell from 1.9% in May to 1.5% in June, while the service price inflation rate fell from 3.5% to 3.2%. Overall, this pushed core inflation further lower. In summary, the inflation situation did not worsen in June, allowing the European Central Bank greater policy flexibility during the summer and more time to observe before deciding on its next monetary policy move. The current risk lies in the possibility that renewed tensions in the Middle East could trigger a new round of increases in oil and gas prices, further pushing up price pressures during the summer. In the longer term, this also increases the risk of a potential "second-round effect."Investment bank Evercore ISI lowered its target price for Netflix (NFLX.O) from $115 to $100.On July 17th, at the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference and High-Level Meeting on Global Governance of Artificial Intelligence held in Shanghai, the "Global Artificial Intelligence Innovation Index Report 2026" was released.
