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.

GBP/USD aims to retake 1.2300 amid an upbeat market sentiment, with US/UK Inflation in the spotlight

After dipping as low as 1.2260 during the Tokyo session, GBP/USD demand has increased. The Cable is attempting to reclaim the round-level resistance of 1.2300 as investors' risk appetite has risen significantly ahead of the release of U.S. inflation data.

 

The US Dollar index (DXY) has fallen below the round-level support of 105.00 as investors' pre-US inflation jitters have dissipated. S&P500 futures are maintaining their gains from Monday due to expectations of a drop in inflationary pressures. The anticipated change in the Federal Reserve's (Fed) interest rate policy has reinforced optimism on a broader scale.

 

The street anticipates a reduction in the US Consumer Price Index (CPI), driven by a decline in gasoline costs and consumer-inflation estimates for one year. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York's monthly Survey of Consumer Forecasts reported on Monday that US consumers' one-year inflation expectations decreased to 5.2% in November from 5.9% in October, the greatest one-month reduction on record. Inflation expectations have consequently decreased to 7.3% for headline inflation and to 6.0% for core inflation.

 

On the British Pound front, investors anticipate the release of the United Kingdom Employment and CPI numbers on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively. The quarterly Unemployment Rate (October) is anticipated to be 3.7%, up from the previously reported 3.6%. Aside from this, the statistics on Average Earnings is the most relevant aspect. Quarterly Average Earnings without Bonuses were anticipated to increase by 5.9% compared to the preceding announcement of 5.7%.

 

While it is anticipated that the headline rate of inflation in the United Kingdom would decline to 10.9% from 11.1%, as previously reported. As a result of the food supply issue, labor shortages, and growing input costs, food price inflation has soared. Investors should not overlook the possibility of an unforeseen inflation spike.
