On July 18th, according to the Financial Times, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) released updated regulatory data this week on short sellers bets on UK listed companies under new rules. The data contained several obvious errors, raising questions about the quality of information provided under the new disclosure regime. Previous regulations required the public disclosure of the specific names of hedge funds and investors holding significant short positions, but the new rules have removed this requirement. Instead, the regulator will now disclose the total short positions for each stock in an aggregated manner. The FCA released this data after the new rules came into effect. However, according to an analysis by data provider Breakout Point, the new information released by the FCA contains several obvious errors. Some positions were subsequently deleted or altered without leaving any record of the changes. The data also includes positions from several years ago, which are highly unlikely to still exist. Ivan Kosovich, founder of Breakout Point, stated that initial problems might be understandable and the situation is improving, but "hidden alterations" in official market records should not become the norm.Bahrains Ministry of Defense said it intercepted multiple Iranian airstrikes on Saturday.The China Earthquake Networks Center officially reported that a 4.3-magnitude earthquake occurred at 13:47 on July 18 in Akto County, Kizilsu Kirghiz Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang (38.71 degrees north latitude, 75.07 degrees east longitude), with a focal depth of 10 kilometers.The Kuwaiti military stated that Kuwait is currently intercepting missiles and drones launched from Iran.July 18 - According to data from Xinjiang Power Exchange Center Co., Ltd., Xinjiangs total electricity transmission to other regions in the first half of 2026 reached 79.024 billion kWh, a year-on-year increase of 25.11%, of which 27.84 billion kWh was from renewable energy sources, a year-on-year increase of 33.92%.

The DAX is falling as industrial output declines.


After a slaughter on Wall Street that saw the Nasdaq finsh 5% down, European equities have begun in the red, extending losses from the previous day.


Fears of inflation, stagflation, and recession are weighing on the market as we approach the weekend. The DAX is expected to shed 1.4 percent this week, marking the fifth consecutive week of losses.


In March, German industrial output decreased -3.9 percent on a month-over-month basis, down from 0.2 percent in February and considerably below the -1 percent drop forecast. The negative report comes on the heels of a sharp drop in German manufacturing orders in March. The data represents the economic effect of the Russian conflict on Germany and the Eurozone as a whole.


Germany does not have any additional statistics due today. Sentiment and the US NFP announcement will affect European indexes.
