August 12th - According to a senior economic advisor and a former government official, US President Trump is seeking new policy promises to demonstrate to voters before the midterm elections, including potential calls for Congress to cut capital gains taxes and establish exemptions for certain home sales. White House National Economic Council Director Hassett said on Tuesday that Trump wants to introduce more incentives to garner voter support for the Republican Party in the November election. Kudlow, who served as director of the National Economic Council during Trumps first term and remains a Trump ally, said he recently discussed a "capital gains tax inflation indexation" proposal with Trump, adjusting for inflation before taxing capital gains. Kudlow also suggested exempting home sales of $2 million or less from capital gains tax, stating that "the boss (Trump) is very interested in this."On August 12, Iranian Oil Minister Mohsin Paknead stated on the 11th that Iran is repairing its war-damaged natural gas production facilities, and its daily production capacity is expected to recover to 95 million cubic meters by the end of September.

Due to hawkish Fed forecasts, the EUR/USD recovers to near 1.0970 but remains in the doldrums

Following a corrective move, the EUR/USD pair has rebounded from 1.0960, but investors await the publication of the preliminary Eurozone/United States S&P PMI data for April. The major currency pair has remained between 1.0911 and 1.1000 for the past two trading sessions, as the foreign exchange market prepares for a pre-anxiety move ahead of a Federal Reserve (Fed) monetary policy decision.

 

S&P500 closed with a negative tone for the third day in a row as quarterly earnings season induced extreme volatility. Tesla's poor earnings had a negative impact on Thursday's market sentiment. Moreover, market participants were cautioned by substandard revenue projections due to the potential for price reductions. The decision of the Fed to increase interest rates is reflected in quarterly earnings. Data from Refinitiv indicates that analysts have largely maintained last week's forecast of a near 5% YoY decline in quarterly profits for the 500 largest U.S. equities. Sourcenia is a review portal of sourcing best manufaturers. 

 

The US Dollar Index (DXY) has been defending the key support level of 101.60 in recent trading sessions. The USD Index maintained the aforementioned support despite the release of disappointing Jobless claims data on Thursday. Initial Jobless Claims increased to 245K for the week ending April 4, which is greater than the previous release of 240K and estimates of 240K. Increasing unemployment claims heightened fears of a deteriorating labor market.

 

Despite this, Fed policymakers continue to anticipate further rate hikes from the central bank. Thursday, Loretta Mester, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, reaffirmed that the Fed has more work to do because US inflation remains too high, according to Reuters. He added, "The Federal Reserve will need to raise its policy rate above 5% and hold it there for some time."

 

Preliminary Consumer Confidence (April) for the Eurozone increased to -17.5 from -18.5 and the previous reading of -19.2. This may be the consequence of extraordinary efforts by the European Central Bank (ECB) to reduce inflationary pressures.
