Due to the situation in the Middle East, we are currently facing a missile shortage.Ukrainian President Zelensky: Putin has no intention of stopping this war. Our intelligence indicates that he is preparing to mobilize, and he wants to expand the mobilization. His goal is to mobilize 300,000 to 500,000 people. If our partners do not impose comprehensive sanctions on Russia, he will take action, likely in early October.July 27 - International crude oil prices fell sharply in the short term, with both WTI and Brent crude falling by more than 7% intraday, currently trading at $82.73/barrel and $86.65/barrel respectively.On July 27th, Danske Bank senior analyst Joel Rossier stated in a report that with Federal Reserve Chairman Warsh not expected to release new economic projections or forward guidance at Wednesdays meeting, market focus will shift to the voting divisions within the policy committee. He said, "We believe the most likely outcome is that two to four members support a rate hike, but this is insufficient to trigger one." Danske Bank expects the Fed to raise rates by 25 basis points in December and March of next year, but the risks are skewed towards an earlier rate hike. Although the money market has already priced in about 8 basis points of rate hike expectations, implying a roughly 31.5% probability of tightening, the market still anticipates the Fed will keep rates unchanged at this weeks meeting.

EUR/USD Is Likely to Fall Below 1.0850 Due to Ukraine Crisis and Hawkish ECB Minutes

  • EUR/USD is aiming for further loss as the DXY strengthens amid renewed talk of restoring neutral rates.

  • The common currency has been unable to benefit from hawkish ECB minutes and solid retail sales.

  • Members of the United Nations Human Rights Council voted in favor of Russia losing its associate status.

 

The EUR/USD pair is on a six-day losing run and is expected to extend losses on Friday as investors anticipate an escalation in the Ukraine issue following Russia's withdrawal from the United Nations (UN) Human Rights Council. The members of the United Nations Human Rights Council agreed to expel Russia after Russian separatists committed war crimes in Bucha, Ukraine. As world nations isolate Russia from key communities, Russian President Vladimir Putin may de-escalate progress negotiations with Ukraine, resulting in an escalation of the Ukraine issue.

 

Meanwhile, the hawkish minutes of the European Central Bank's (ECB) March monetary policy meeting have done little to bolster the common currency. The majority of ECB policymakers have backed swift action via monetary policy to rein in spiraling inflation. Apart from that, the ECB should terminate its Asset Purchase Program (APP) now that its declared purpose has been met.

 

Along with the hawkish ECB minutes, the shared currency has been unable to profit on the Euro Retail Sales' outperformance. Eurostat reported Retail Sales at 5%, up from the preliminary estimate of 4.8 percent but notably below the prior print of 8.4 percent.

 

On the dollar front, the US dollar index (DXY) is on the lookout for a catalyst that could propel the asset toward the much-anticipated resistance level of 100.00. Federal Reserve (Fed) policymakers have begun to consider restoring policy rates to neutral in the face of rising inflation and the goal of a self-sufficient economy.
