Bank of England Governor Bailey: We are paying attention to whether technological innovation will bring about fragility in the monetary system.July 3, the European Commission said on Thursday that a guideline to help thousands of companies comply with the EUs landmark artificial intelligence regulations may be issued by the end of this year, which means that the issuance of the guideline will be delayed by 6 months. "Regarding the GPAI rules of the AI Act, the European Commission on Artificial Intelligence is discussing the timing of the implementation of the code of conduct and is considering the end of 2025," a European Commission spokesman said.July 3, Thu Lan Nguyen, head of foreign exchange and commodity research at Commerzbank, pointed out that yesterday the US government announced a trade agreement with Vietnam. At first glance, this seems to be a victory for the US government, but the premise is to agree that "it makes economic sense to suppress the attractiveness of imports through tariffs." I am deeply skeptical of this. In addition to a large number of consumer goods, Vietnam exports goods such as coffee to the United States. Regardless of whether the United States can quickly increase the production capacity of textiles (Vietnams main export category), coffee alone is difficult to replace - after all, the United States (except Hawaii) does not have the climatic conditions suitable for coffee cultivation. Therefore, the conclusion is obvious: even if tariffs are no longer ridiculously high, import tariffs may still do more harm than good. Whats more, Vietnams economy is limited and lacks sufficient purchasing power to significantly increase US imports. It is not surprising that the US dollar did not strengthen yesterday due to the news of the agreement.The U.S. June seasonally adjusted non-farm payrolls and unemployment rate, June average hourly wage monthly and annual rates, May trade account, and initial claims data last week will be released in ten minutes.Volvo Cars said the changes were made to optimise its product launch schedule.

USD/TRY reestablishes its annual high on route to 17.00, notwithstanding Erdogan's expectation of future inflation moderation

In spite of Turkish currency (TRY) traders' inflation worries and President Erdogan's efforts to appease TRY purchasers, the USD/TRY continues to trade near $16.36, the highest level since 2022. The pair's upward momentum is influenced by Friday's high Turkish inflation data for May, as well as the US dollar's comeback over the last week, not to mention expectations of the Fed's faster/more aggressive rate rises.

 

According to Reuters, "Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan stated on Sunday that inflation numbers from the month of May, when annual consumer prices soared to a 24-year high, indicate that inflation is now on the down." It is noteworthy that the May inflation rate for Turkey increased to 73.5 percent in the most recent report.

 

Reuters also reported that the lira fell by 44 percent last year and has been the poorest performer in emerging markets for several consecutive years, mostly owing to economic and monetary policy worries under the administration of President Tayyip Erdogan.

 

In contrast, the odds supporting a 0.50 percent rate hike by the Federal Reserve in September have lately increased to 75 percent from 35 percent a week earlier, which emphasizes this week's US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data and favors US dollar purchasers. In spite of this, the US Dollar Index (DXY) reversed a two-week downward trend at Friday's close, trading down 0.14 percent intraday near 102.000 as of press time.

 

US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) for May came in at 390K, above expectations of 325K but falling short of the upwardly revised prior readings of 428K. In addition, the unemployment rate stayed constant at 3.6% against predictions of a minor reduction to 3.5%. In addition, the US ISM Services PMI dropped to 55.9 in May, compared to the market estimate of 56.4 and the flash reading of 57.1 in April. Following the release of the statistics, Loretta Mester, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, stated that the Fed's only worry is inflation. The officials underlined that the likelihood of a recession has increased.

 

Wall Street benchmarks finished in the negative and US 10-year Treasury rates saw their first weekly increase in three weeks to reflect the risk-averse sentiment of the previous day. However, S&P 500 Futures increased by 0.5 percent to 4,126 and US 10-year Treasury rates fell by 1.3 basis points (bps) to 2.942 percent as per the most recent data available.

 

Amid a pre-Fed blackout for Fed officials and in anticipation of Friday's US CPI, USD/TRY traders should pay attention to risk drivers moving forward.

Technical Evaluation

A successful breach of the prior resistance line from early January, about 16.45 at the time of publication, would lead USD/TRY values toward the $17.00 mark before testing the late 2021 top at $18.36.
