Phil Flynn, senior analyst at Price Futures group: There seems to be some profit-taking in the oil market due to concerns that OPEC will increase production by more than expected.July 5, Swissquote senior market analyst Ipek Ozkardeskaya: The preference for the US dollar is weakening. First, concerns about US debt are rising, and second, the preference for US debt is facing risks. Another reason is that the tariff situation and trade disruptions will have a negative impact on US economic growth, and the Federal Reserve may not be able to support the economy when inflation risks rise.July 5th news: On July 4th local time, a federal judge in the United States briefly halted the Trump administrations plan to deport eight immigrants to South Sudan in order to buy time for their lawyers to state their claims in a Massachusetts court.On July 5, institutional analyst Javier Blas said that OPEC+ representatives are discussing a fourth consecutive increase of 411,000 barrels per day, but there is also the possibility of a "slightly larger" increase.

Focus shifts to UK Inflation as EUR/GBP nears a 16-month high of 0.8720

If the EUR/GBP pair is able to surpass Thursday's high of 0.8712, it will attempt to extend its two-day winning streak. The asset is finally seeking to recapture a 16-month high at 0.8720 as a result of the European Central Bank's (ECB) historic rate hike. After a brief break around 0.8600, the cross has been climbing gradually for the past two weeks on a larger scale.

 

Christine Lagarde, president of the European Central Bank, prioritized taming the hot inflation over growth prospects by announcing a significant 75-basis-point rate increase (bps). There will likely be more rises once the interest rate was raised to 1.25 percent. The central bank won't keep raising key interest rates in the future and will instead continue to emphasize data more.

 

Inflation forecasts have also been made public by the central bank, and they estimate that it will average 8.1% in 2022, 5.5% in 2023, and 2.3% in 2024. The European Central Bank (ECB) attributed the escalating pricing pressures to supply chain restrictions, increasing energy and food prices, and other factors.

 

Inflation in the United Kingdom is double digits, and long-term growth prospects are bleak. In an effort to boost consumer confidence, Liz Truss, the country's next prime minister, has proposed a cap on energy prices to shield homeowners from the approaching winter. The demand for energy rises throughout the winter due to an increase in the use of electric heaters and appliances.

 

According to the new cabinet's energy bill cap, the average home will pay no more than £2,500 in annual energy costs.

 

The UK inflation rate will continue to be a focus in the future. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) previously hit 10.1%. Since energy prices in August have remained hopeful, it is expected that the economic statistics will pick up speed.
