On June 6th, company filings revealed that Google (GOOG.O) has agreed to pay SpaceX $920 million per month for computing power as part of a cloud services agreement that will last until mid-2029. SpaceX stated in a filing on Friday that Google will pay SpaceX monthly fees from October to June 2029, providing computing power including approximately 110,000 Nvidia GPUs, CPUs, memory, and other related components. The computing power will be gradually increased before September, with the fee decreasing accordingly. The filing shows that if SpaceX fails to deliver the agreed number of GPUs by September 30, 2026, Google has the right to terminate the contract and will have a one-month grace period. Furthermore, according to the agreement disclosed on Friday, either party has the right to terminate the agreement with 90 days notice.U.S. bank deposits rose to $19.333 trillion from $19.285 trillion last week.Standard & Poors affirmed Swedens credit rating at "AAA/A-1+" with a stable outlook.June 6th - According to the Financial Times, Meta Platforms (META.O) is considering raising tens of billions of dollars through a stock offering to seek new sources of capital to support Mark Zuckerbergs ambitious plans in artificial intelligence, following Googles record $85 billion stock deal this week. According to three sources familiar with the matter, executives at the social media company have been exploring "innovative" fundraising methods as the company plans to significantly increase its AI-related capital spending to as much as $145 billion this year, with further increases planned for 2027. The discussions have intensified following Alphabets successful funding round this week—which was driven by strong investor demand and increased by $5 billion from the original plan—sources said. However, Meta has not yet hired investment banks and may ultimately not issue new shares. One source cautioned that it is too early to say how the company has decided on its course of action, as all fundraising options are still under consideration.According to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), in the week ending June 2, speculators increased their net short positions in CBOT U.S. 2-year Treasury futures by 94,942 contracts to 1,350,188 contracts, U.S. 5-year Treasury futures by 46,091 contracts to 1,369,218 contracts, U.S. 10-year Treasury futures by 41,621 contracts to 829,575 contracts, and ultra-long-term Treasury futures by 27,868 contracts to 287,710 contracts.

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.
