Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara: The specific details of monetary policy will be decided by the Bank of Japan.On July 10, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning held a regular press conference. A foreign journalist asked about the 10th anniversary of the Permanent Court of Arbitrations ruling on the South China Sea arbitration case, which determined that Chinas maritime claims in the South China Sea are inconsistent with international law. The Philippines stated today that it will continue to push for a "Code of Conduct in the South China Sea" and will use the arbitration ruling as an unshakable foundation. What is Chinas comment on this? Mao Ning stated that China has repeatedly clarified that the so-called "ruling" is illegal, invalid, and has no binding force. China does not accept or recognize it, and we will not accept any claims based on this ruling. She emphasized that formulating a "Code of Conduct in the South China Sea" is an important measure to implement the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea and an important consensus between China and ASEAN countries. China is always committed to accelerating consultations with ASEAN countries to strive for an early conclusion of the Code and jointly maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea. The so-called "ruling" has nothing to do with the Code, and the Philippines should not use the so-called "ruling" to create obstacles to the conclusion of the Code.July 10th - At a press conference held by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism on July 10th regarding the crackdown on forced shopping in the tourism market, it was announced that the Ministry has strengthened cooperation with public security, market supervision, and cyberspace administration departments to further intensify case investigations.

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.
