The local governor stated that Russia is defending against drone attacks on the Nevinomysk industrial zone in the southern Stavropol region.On August 24th, following US President Trumps announcement of an "unprecedented" economic war against Iran, US Treasury Secretary Bessenter confirmed that the specific details of the "unprecedented economic isolation" measures against Iran would be officially announced on the 24th. Iran, on the other hand, played its "oil export countermeasure" card on the 23rd: if the US waged an economic war, there would be no more oil exports from the Strait of Hormuz or even the Persian Gulf region. Currently, there are less than 24 hours left before the US announces the details of the sanctions. Public opinion generally believes that this is a desperate move by the US given the current situation of a protracted war between the US and Iran and the failure of negotiations. Although the specific measures have not yet been announced, some analysts believe that this action may ultimately lead to a "lose-lose" situation.On August 24, Xiyin announced on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that it plans to issue approximately 280 million Class B shares (subject to reallocation and the exercise of the over-allotment option) for its Hong Kong listing, with a pricing range of HK$47.60 to HK$49.50 per share.

Despite the fact that Eurozone interest rates are anticipated to peak sooner, the EUR/GBP looks to have breached over 0.8630

The EUR/GBP pair has had a stronger recovery from 0.8580 during the Asian session, approaching the pivotal 0.8630 level. Despite the European Central Bank (ECB) being close to reaching an interest rate high, there has been strong demand for Euro bulls. Thus, the monetary policy meeting scheduled for next week will be of utmost significance.

 

The cross is attempting to break strongly above the significant barrier of 0.8630 for the fourth time this week. The hawkish remarks made by ECB policymakers are holding back the euro bulls.

 

"There will be another rate hike," said Constantinos Herodotou, governor of the Central Bank of Cyprus, "but we are very near to neutral." The European Central Bank's chief economist, Phillip Lane, is unsure as to whether the inflation peak has already occurred or will take place in 2019. He stated that although "much has already been done," he does not rule out more rate increases.

 

Investors are currently looking forward to Christine Lagarde's speech, which will be revealed on Thursday. The ECB President is likely to lower her inflation projection in her future statement in light of the poor retail sales numbers.

 

In contrast to expectations for a 1.7% loss, this week's Eurozone retail sales numbers showed a 1.8% decline. Aside from that, annual economic data contraction came in at 2.7% as opposed to the 2.6% consensus expectation. A decline in household demand demonstrates the effectiveness of the European Central Bank's (ECB) policy tightening initiatives. To reach their sales targets, firms could feel pressured to lower the prices of their products and services.

 

The United Kingdom's deteriorating food crisis, brought on by growing costs and a labor shortfall, has had an impact on the Pound Sterling. According to Minette Batters, president of the National Farmers Union, "the government and the entire supply chain must act swiftly." The Financial Times stated that "tomorrow might be too late." The economy already faces rising food inflation, and the issue with the supply of food will make matters worse.
