Trump had previously been angry about the idea of lowering the flag to half-mast in memory of former President Carter. Carter died on December 29, and Biden announced that he would lower the flag to half-mast for 30 days. It was U.S. House Speaker Johnson who came to the rescue and dispelled concerns that Trumps second term would start with a "half-mast mourning" scene. Earlier this week, Johnson wrote on social media that next Monday, "the flags at the Capitol will fly at full flag to celebrate our countrys unity after the inauguration of the 47th President Donald Trump." Johnson pointed out that the flag would be lowered to half-mast again the day after the inauguration to commemorate Carter.According to the Ukrainian Pravda: The battlefield analysis agency DeepState said that the Russian army has made progress in several settlements in Kharkiv and Donetsk.According to the Ukrainian National News Agency: Poland plans to send a defense industry delegation to visit Ukraine.

Before BOE/ECB policy statements, EUR/GBP crosses 0.86; UK inflation is the main topic

The EUR/GBP pair is circling the significant resistance level of 0.8600 in the early Tokyo session. Following a test of the previous week's low near 0.8560 on gloomy UK Employment data, the cross significantly recovered on Tuesday.

 

Market participants had predicted a decline of 13,500 claimants in November, but instead the number of claimants unexpectedly surged by 30,500. In addition, the 6.1% increase in average earnings supported inflation forecasts since rising household incomes will stimulate strong retail consumption. Increased salaries will undoubtedly help people offset higher payments brought on by inflation-adjusted prices, but they will also leave them with more money to spend elsewhere, which will increase retail demand.

 

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for the UK will be important in the future. The consensus predicts that annual headline inflation will decrease from 11.1% to 10.9%. The core CPI is anticipated to stay at 6.5%.

 

The Bank of England's decision on interest rates will have the greatest impact on the British economy this week (BOE). In an effort to lower inflation, Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey is likely to raise interest rates further. The announcement of a rate increase of 50 basis points (bps) is expected, according to analysts at Danske Bank.

 

The BOE forecast that financial limitations on UK businesses, particularly smaller ones, will worsen in 2023 in its most recent Financial Stability report. Additionally, there are still no significant signs of financial distress among British households.

 

Investors are paying close attention to the European Central Bank's monetary policy decision on the Eurozone front (ECB). Interest rates are anticipated to rise by 50 basis points (bps) to 2.5% under Christine Lagarde's leadership as head of the European Central Bank. The expected terminal rate for the ECB is 3 percent.
