The institution indicated that the main driver of this expectation is the continued rise in inflation expectations. "We believe the ECB is increasingly concerned about the potential solidification of inflation expectations, especially as survey data continues to show that businesses are increasingly willing to raise selling prices." At the same time, the institution believes there is currently no convincing evidence of a significant second-round effect. "Therefore, we believe the ECB should not initiate a prolonged tightening cycle."Shell CEO: Due to the Strait of Hormuz (related events), there is a supply gap of 1.2 billion barrels in the oil market.According to the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), Iran stated that it will assess its nuclear negotiations with the United States based on the latest attacks.On June 10, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghae stated, when discussing issues related to the Iran-US talks, that Iran needs to reassess the situation following the conflict on June 9.

In the early European session, the Gold price (XAU / USD) is exhibiting erratic movements near $1,994.00. The precious metal is in a state of indecision as investors await the release of preliminary S&P PMI data for the United States on Friday.

 

After violent swings influenced by the Federal Reserve's (Fed) Beige Book, the US Dollar Index (DXY) is showing signs of volatility contraction below 102.00. The declining trend of advances to consumer and business loans by U.S. commercial banks has intensified concerns of a recession in the U.S. economy, despite the fact that economic activity in 12 Fed districts remained virtually unchanged. To prevent a decline in asset quality, banks have tightened credit disbursement requirements.

 

In the meantime, S&P futures have recorded sizeable losses during the Asian session, as investors are wary of firms' comments regarding revenue guidance. The market anticipates that constrained credit conditions will impact the working capital management of cash-reliant companies, thereby affecting their output.

 

The market expects preliminary US S&P PMI data to reveal a Manufacturing PMI reading of 49.0, a decrease from the previous reading of 49.9. The Services PMI is anticipated to decrease to 51.5 from 52.6 previously reported.
