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.

Bets on policy divergence between the BOE and BOJ heighten, pushing GBP/JPY above 162.00

As investors prepare for a further widening of the policy gulf between the BOE and the BOJ, the GBP/JPY pair has broken firmly above the 162.00 mark (BOJ). Assuming the cross maintains its footing above the pivotal 162.00 level, further gains are likely.

 

As a result of a significant increase in Average Earnings in the United Kingdom zone, policymakers at the Bank of England have decided to hike interest rates without delay. As for labor costs, they came in at 4.7%, which is higher than both the 4.5% forecast and the 4.4% number that was reported earlier.

 

Earlier, Bank of England policymakers fretted over low wage growth in households. The United Kingdom is located in an area where inflation is rising rapidly; as a result, wage growth has been sluggish as workers try to compensate for rising wages. For this reason, the quantitative tightening measures were not unilaterally implemented by Bank of England personnel. Governor Andrew Bailey of the Bank of England is pleased with the recent surge in the labor cost index, which he will use to his advantage when formulating monetary policy.

 

The new estimated number of UK claimants is 10.5k, down from both the prior announcement's 26.8k and the expected 32k. The unemployment rate has stayed stable at 3.8%.

 

The currency bulls in Tokyo showed no buying activity despite an uptick in the National Consumer Price Index (CPI). Both the median forecast of 2.2% and the most recent reading of 2.4% were surpassed by the actual economic data, which came in at 2.6%. An inflation rate above 2% for an extended period of time may eventually force the Bank of Japan (BOJ) to take a neutral posture, but policy divergence is going to increase.
