According to Axios: The Saudi Defense Minister expressed support for de-escalation of the situation.Market news: SpaceX (SPCX.O) has been awarded a $1.6 billion contract by the U.S. Space Force to carry out 18 Falcon 9 launches to launch military guided satellites.On July 30th, Federal Reserve Chairman Warsh stated that since the June meeting, financial markets have already priced in most of the effects of the Feds tightening policy, therefore he does not agree with describing the decision to maintain interest rates as a "pause." Warsh said, "I wouldnt call todays decision a pause in any sense. If you have to label it a pause, then the performance of the financial markets shows the opposite." Since the Feds mid-June policy meeting, the yields on both 2-year and 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds have risen by approximately 20 basis points. Warsh pointed out that during this period, financial markets did not "pause" their adjustments, but rather continuously repriced based on inflation data and economic growth performance: on the one hand, inflation data influenced market expectations; on the other hand, strong economic growth pushed both nominal and real interest rates higher. He stated, "Today, the Fed did not explicitly adjust the policy rate, thats true. But I think this is just the beginning of the whole policy story, not the end."Canadas Minister for Trade to the United States said he held comprehensive talks with U.S. Trade Representative Greer, and both sides agreed to maintain close contact.On July 30th, Federal Reserve Chairman Warsh told reporters that he does not believe there is a general "conflict" between the central banks dual mandate—maximum employment and price stability. "My judgment is that when we fulfill our mandate, we will achieve both goals simultaneously," Warsh said, adding that there is no either-or choice regarding inflation and employment. "Neither part of our mission has been forgotten," he said, noting that what is truly damaging the markets is the problem of high and volatile inflation.

The EUR/JPY is still firmer at 138.00 despite low rates, with inflation and the economy being the primary concerns

As Tokyo begins on Wednesday, bulls on the EUR/JPY keep the previous day's gains at a two-week high while teasing the 138.00 mark. The cross-currency pair ignores Japan's Producer Price Index (PPI) information in the context of falling Treasury yields by doing this. The current lull in the pair's performance may also be attributed to investors' caution ahead of July's critical inflation data from the world's major economies.

 

Japan's PPI for July climbed to 8.6% YoY versus the 8.6% market average but was in line with market expectations of 0.4% MoM. Despite this, 10-year US Treasury rates haven't changed much over the past few days, hovering around 2.79 percent.

 

According to sources familiar with the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) thinking, the BOJ expects prices to rise more quickly than was predicted during the July meeting. This information was reported on by MNI on Tuesday. But according to MNI, "unless it helps to accelerate wages next spring, the rise in inflation to 3% or more by the end of the year will not be sufficient to induce a change in its easy policy stance."

 

The JPY appears to be impacted elsewhere by the political unrest, indicating that Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is willing to replace his cabinet. Shunichi Suzuki, the finance minister, is expected to keep his job, Reuters reports, indicating that there aren't any significant threats to the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) policies regarding easy credit. The same ought to provide confidence in JPY bears.

 

Concerns that the Eurozone may have more problems as a result of Russia's suspension of oil supplies should have had an effect on the EUR/JPY exchange rate, to name one important factor. Reuters reports that due to worries over transit payments, Russia has stopped sending oil through the Druzhba pipeline's southern section.

 

In contrast, EUR/JPY prices appeared to have been driven in recent weeks by expectations of further BOJ easing and low interest rates, as well as preparations for today's crucial CPI data from China, Germany, and the U.S. for July.
