The tanker has now continued its voyage.According to the Iranian Students News Agency, Iraqi sources say that several violent explosions and widespread fires have occurred at the Jambul oil field in Iraqs Kirkuk province.According to Irans Fars News Agency, a spokesperson for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard stated that if Britain supports the United States in a war, it will become a clear and legitimate target.On July 26, when asked whether the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps initiated the war, a spokesperson stated that according to the agreement, passage through the Strait of Hormuz should be conducted in accordance with Iranian regulations. However, the United States, as expected, violated the agreement and announced an alternative passage route. Following this breach, the Revolutionary Guard Corps blocked the passage of vessels and struck those violating the rules. It was hoped that the United States would return to fulfilling its commitments, but this did not happen; instead, it attacked our coast, islands, and some radar facilities. Therefore, this new round of aggression once again originated from the United States. The Revolutionary Guard Corps attacks were intended to force the United States to fulfill its commitments, thus launching Operation Victory 2.

GBP/USD seeks to regain 1.2300 as higher UK CPI strengthens the case for a rate hike by the Bank of England and the USD retreats

During the Asian session, the GBP/USD pair attempts to reclaim the resistance level at 1.2300. Following a vertical correction, the Cable has recovered to near 1.2260 as the market anticipates that the absence of hawkish interest rate guidance from Federal Reserve (Fed) chair Jerome Powell while addressing the economy at the monetary policy meeting indicates that the Fed is close to ending its policy-tightening spell.

 

S&P500 futures have generated some gains in the Asian session following a decline on Wednesday as a result of Fed Powell's confirmation that the fight against intractable U.S. inflation will continue. Chairman of the Federal Reserve Jerome Powell has ruled out rate cuts in 2023, citing the difficulty of controlling inflation. In addition, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen's statement that the government "does not plan to insure all uninsured bank deposits" heightened fears of a banking sector collapse.

 

Following a recovery move, the US Dollar Index (DXY) has retreated on expectations that additional credit tightening to protect banking institutions will reduce overall demand, economic activity, and inflation. In the interim, the demand for US government bonds has increased as a result of expectations that US Janet Yellen will end further policy restrictions and reduce support for all bank deposits.

 

On the front of the United Kingdom, the Pound Sterling is likely to maintain its strength as the Bank of England (BoE) is scheduled to raise rates for the eleventh consecutive time. Governor Andrew Bailey of the Bank of England is expected to raise interest rates by 25 basis points (bp) in response to rising food and non-alcoholic beverage prices, as well as rising energy costs, which have contributed to inflation in the United Kingdom.

 

In the midst of global banking turmoil, the Bank of England's (BoE) interest rate decision will be difficult, as policymakers were divided over whether to raise rates further or maintain them at their present level.
