Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bagaei: Information exchanges between Iran and the United States, as well as the activities of mediators, are continuing.July 27th - According to the Financial Times, SpaceXs potential European competitor, The Exploration Company GmbH, is in talks to raise at least $300 million, partly from the EUs "European Scale-Up Fund," which would boost the companys valuation to over $2 billion. Sources familiar with the matter say this still-pending funding round will support the companys development of Europes first reusable spacecraft for transporting cargo to the International Space Station (and planned successors). The companys last funding round was in 2024, raising approximately $160 million with support from the French and German governments. That 2024 funding round also financed the development of its reusable spacecraft, Nyx.According to Al Jazeera: Settlers have stormed into the Samra region in the northern Jordan Valley.On July 27, Brazilian President Lula published an article in The Washington Post criticizing the recent series of tariff pressures imposed on Brazil by the United States. In the article, Lula stated that negotiations between Brazil and the US, along with a ruling by the US Supreme Court, repealed the first version of the tariff policy that began last July. However, this July, the US government decided to impose new tariffs on Brazil ranging from 12.5% to 37.5%. He argued that these new tariffs are not only unfair but also a strategic mistake: they damage the US economy and the partnership with Brazil, and in the medium to long term, will disrupt the currently highly integrated production chains between the two countries, leading Brazilian companies to replace US suppliers with other partners.German government spokesperson: Chancellor Merz will nominate conservative Steffen Bürger as Minister of Transport.

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.
