Hungarian Prime Minister Majol: Hungary is considering several options for introducing a wealth tax.On June 11th, MHA economic advisor Joe Nellis stated that despite widespread concerns about sluggish economic growth, policymakers are making a wise decision to act decisively to curb inflation, given the European Central Banks (ECB) expected interest rate hike on Thursday. He pointed out that the ECB has faced criticism for its slow response in 2022-2023, leading to inflation exceeding 10%. "Although economic growth in the region remains weak, the ECB is demonstrating its readiness to act," Nellis noted. On the positive side, higher interest rates could attract foreign investment, strengthening the euro and putting downward pressure on prices, although this cannot fully offset the costs to economic growth.Tencent Holdings (00700.HK): On June 11, it spent approximately HK$500 million to repurchase shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.On June 11th, JD.com officially released its Agent Autonomous Payment Protocol (A2P2).

The EUR/GBP is fluctuating close to 0.8750 as focus shifts to UK inflation and BoE policy

The EUR/GBP pair is exhibiting a lackluster performance around 0.8750 during the Asian session. As investors prepare for the release of the Bank of England's (BOE) interest rate decision and the United Kingdom's Consumer Price Index (CPI) this week, the cross has moved sideways.

 

Despite the fact that the headline asserts that UBS has revitalized Credit Suisse, the cross appears to be weak. Credit Suisse shareholders will receive one share of UBS for every 22.48 Credit Suisse shares they own, valuing the bank at $3.15 billion (£2.6 billion), according to BBC News. The Swiss National Bank (SNB) stated that the agreement was the most effective means of restoring market confidence and mitigating economic risks. Additionally, the BoE endorsed the "comprehensive set of actions."

 

The consensus opinion on the street is that Governor Andrew Bailey of the Bank of England (BoE) will provide a pessimistic outlook for the interest rate decision amidst concerns of banking turmoil, which will be his top priority.

 

Rabobank analysts also anticipate a 25 basis point (bps) rate hike and caution that the market has not fully factored in this scenario. Andrew Bailey, governor of the Bank of England, would raise rates by 25 basis points to 4.25 percent.

 

Prior to that, the UK inflation data released on Wednesday will be attentively monitored. The annual headline CPI is expected to decline from 10.1% to 9.8%, according to projections. At 5.8%, the core CPI, which excludes the cost of fuels and food, would not change. It should be aware that persistent inflation in the United Kingdom is due to rising food prices and a labor shortage.

 

After the European Central Bank (ECB) raised interest rates by 50 basis points (bps) last week, Gediminas imkus, a member of the ECB Governing Council, stated on Friday that "the terminal rate has not yet been reached" For further deflation, extremely persistent inflation in the Eurozone requires higher interest rates.
