South Koreas unadjusted current account was US$10.14 billion in May, compared with US$5.7017 billion in the previous month.July 4th, the U.S. Congress approved comprehensive tax and budget legislation on Thursday, which means that the $7,500 tax credit for buying or leasing a new electric vehicle will end on September 30, as will the $4,000 credit for used electric vehicles. These tax credits have benefited electric vehicle sales in recent years. The U.S. Congress first approved the $7,500 electric vehicle tax credit in 2008 and phased it out after automakers produced 200,000 electric vehicles. In 2022, the incentive was expanded to leased vehicles and the cap on each manufacturer was removed. Dan Levy, an auto analyst at Barclays Bank, said that phasing out the tax credit in less than three months means that electric vehicle sales will jump sharply through "pre-purchase" and then fall sharply in the following months.On July 4, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of North Korea made a statement on July 3, local time. The statement said that the United States recently took the opportunity of the "Quadrilateral Security Dialogue" Foreign Ministers Meeting to once again carry out serious political provocations, deny North Koreas legitimate sovereignty, and reiterate "denuclearization". The United States hegemonic behavior of relying on a minority of xenophobic groups to interfere in the internal affairs of independent sovereign countries, incite camp confrontation, and cause instability in international relations is a major dangerous factor hindering regional and world peace and security. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of North Korea strongly condemns and opposes the United States brutal infringement on North Koreas dignity and rights, as well as its hostile consciousness towards North Korea, and expresses serious concern about the adverse consequences that this move will lead to.Barclays: We forecast that U.S. oil demand will grow by 130,000 barrels per day this year, 100,000 barrels per day higher than previous estimates.US President Trump: Iran wants dialogue.

AUDJPY continues to struggle around 94.00 despite solid Aussie jobs data

The AUDJPY pair has stayed firm around 94.00 despite the release of bullish Australian employment data. Compared to the projected 15k and the preceding release of 0.9k, the Australian Bureau of Statistics announces that the economy has added 32,200 new jobs to the payroll market. In addition, the unemployment rate has decreased from 3.6% to 3.5% to 3.4%.

 

Australian employment numbers that surpass expectations will impress the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA). This will allow RBA Governor Philip Lowe to continue steadily hiking rates. In light of this week's release of the RBA's minutes, the central bank will maintain a rate hike structure of 25 basis points (bps) because policymakers believe the Official Cash Rate (OCR) has already been hiked in a short amount of time.

 

Nevertheless, the inflation rate has not yet reached its high, as a historic increase in price growth observed in the third quarter indicates. The Australian inflation rate increased to 7.3%, exceeding the consensus expectation of 7.0%. This prompted the RBA to hike its projected interest rate to 8%. In addition to producing increasing price pressures, a limited market is responsible for the robust purchasing power of households.

 

As Russia-Poland tensions have largely calmed and no further developments are anticipated, the risk profile is expected to diminish.

 

On the Tokyo front, an unexpected decline in Gross Domestic Product is haunting investors. In contrast to expectations of a 0.3% increase, Japan's gross domestic product decreased 0.3% in the third quarter. We were surprised by the q/q decline in the third quarter because we underestimated the impact of higher inflation, the summer wave of COVID-19 infections, and a significant weakening of the yen, which exacerbated the nation's already soaring import costs.
