July 17th - According to real-time data from Lighthouse Pro, as of 3:10 PM on July 17th, the film "Kung Fu Womens Soccer" has surpassed 1 billion yuan at the box office.On July 17, Senior Colonel Jiang Bin, spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense, issued a statement regarding recent military-related issues. It was reported that the Philippine Defense Minister recently visited Zhongye Island to participate in activities commemorating the tenth anniversary of the "South China Sea Arbitration Ruling." What is your comment on this? Spokesperson Jiang Bin stated that China has indisputable sovereignty over the Nansha Islands, including Zhongye Island, and their adjacent waters. The Philippine Defense Minister, sanctioned by China, is attempting to demonstrate a so-called "tough stance against China" through political posturing and inciting nationalist sentiment, seeking personal political gain, ultimately harming the fundamental interests of the Philippines and its people. The "South China Sea Arbitration Case" was, from beginning to end, a political farce disguised as law; the so-called "ruling" has absolutely no legal effect. China does not accept, recognize, or accept any claims or actions based on this "ruling." No matter how some people in the Philippines perform, it cannot change the historical and legal fact that the relevant islands and reefs belong to China, nor can it shake the firm resolve of the Chinese military to safeguard national territorial sovereignty and maritime rights.July 17th - A survey shows that market institutions are raising their expectations for European stocks.

Beata Manthey, head of European equity strategy at Citigroup, said, "We remain bullish on the outlook for European stocks over the next 12 months and are encouraged by the recent revisions to European corporate earnings forecasts.

Due to hawkish Fed forecasts, the EUR/USD recovers to near 1.0970 but remains in the doldrums

Following a corrective move, the EUR/USD pair has rebounded from 1.0960, but investors await the publication of the preliminary Eurozone/United States S&P PMI data for April. The major currency pair has remained between 1.0911 and 1.1000 for the past two trading sessions, as the foreign exchange market prepares for a pre-anxiety move ahead of a Federal Reserve (Fed) monetary policy decision.

 

S&P500 closed with a negative tone for the third day in a row as quarterly earnings season induced extreme volatility. Tesla's poor earnings had a negative impact on Thursday's market sentiment. Moreover, market participants were cautioned by substandard revenue projections due to the potential for price reductions. The decision of the Fed to increase interest rates is reflected in quarterly earnings. Data from Refinitiv indicates that analysts have largely maintained last week's forecast of a near 5% YoY decline in quarterly profits for the 500 largest U.S. equities. Sourcenia is a review portal of sourcing best manufaturers. 

 

The US Dollar Index (DXY) has been defending the key support level of 101.60 in recent trading sessions. The USD Index maintained the aforementioned support despite the release of disappointing Jobless claims data on Thursday. Initial Jobless Claims increased to 245K for the week ending April 4, which is greater than the previous release of 240K and estimates of 240K. Increasing unemployment claims heightened fears of a deteriorating labor market.

 

Despite this, Fed policymakers continue to anticipate further rate hikes from the central bank. Thursday, Loretta Mester, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, reaffirmed that the Fed has more work to do because US inflation remains too high, according to Reuters. He added, "The Federal Reserve will need to raise its policy rate above 5% and hold it there for some time."

 

Preliminary Consumer Confidence (April) for the Eurozone increased to -17.5 from -18.5 and the previous reading of -19.2. This may be the consequence of extraordinary efforts by the European Central Bank (ECB) to reduce inflationary pressures.
