A Reuters poll showed that 36 out of 37 economists expect the Bank of Korea to raise its benchmark interest rate to 2.75% at its July 16 meeting. 28 out of 31 economists expect the Bank of Korea to raise the benchmark interest rate to 3.00% by the end of the year.As of 8:30 on July 14, 2026, WTI crude oil, Brent crude oil and other commodities saw the largest fluctuations.

The bank will announce its policy decision later this week. The minutes repeatedly stressed the side effects of rising borrowing costs, widely seen as a way for the committee to signal an impending policy adjustment while minimizing market volatility. For example, in the minutes of its June 2022 meeting, the committee stated that "it is necessary to assess whether corporate credit demand will remain strong in the context of rising interest rates." Approximately three weeks later, the central bank implemented its first-ever 50-basis-point interest rate hike. This time, the minutes followed a similar pattern, providing new clues about the direction of monetary policy ahead of Thursdays interest rate decision. The committee warned that as borrowing costs rise, the financial difficulties of vulnerable sectors will inevitably worsen; while providing fiscal support, financial institutions should strengthen loan reviews, and companies should also proceed with restructuring.July 14 - According to Iranian media reports on the 14th, the headquarters of the U.S. Navys Fifth Fleet in Bahrain was attacked by Iranian missiles.

AUD/USD soars to almost 0.6400 on stronger-than-expected 7.3% Australian CPI

The AUD/USD pair increased to 0.6400 after the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported that the headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the third quarter of CY2022 was 7.3%, which was higher than the consensus expectation of 7.0% and the previous release of 6.1%. In addition, the quarterly inflation rate has matched the prior estimate of 1.8% and above predictions of 1.5%.

 

This may drive the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) to announce a higher rate hike in its upcoming monetary policy. The RBA raised the Official Cash Rate (OCR) by 25 basis points (bps) to 2.6% during its monetary policy meeting in October. Governor Philip Lowe of the RBA slowed the pace of rate hikes in October, after the central bank had projected a 50 basis point rate hike period. Now, a larger-than-expected rate hike will require the RBA to return to a rate hike cycle of 50 basis points.

 

The Aussie bulls displayed a significant increase on Tuesday and defended the pessimism generated by Chinese President Jinping. The extraordinary third term of Chinese President XI Jinping lowered investor enthusiasm for Chinese stocks and other linked assets. Because Jinping's ideology-driven policies are detrimental to China's economic prospects, Australia was punished for being China's most important trading partner.

 

In the interim, the US dollar index (DXY) is retracing and has surpassed the 111.00 mark. Following a three-day purchasing binge, the risk-on profile has taken a knock as S&P500 futures have experienced a dramatic plunge. This could be a correction in the S&P 500 index after a bigger advance.
