On July 31, at a press conference held today, the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), representing the Chinese business community, responded to the EUs efforts to accelerate the draft amendments to the Cybersecurity Act and the EUs Industrial Accelerator Act. We urge the EU to fully consider the opinions of the global business community in the subsequent legislative process and to prudently assess the impact of the relevant legislation on Sino-EU business cooperation, the EUs own industrial development, and the stability of the global supply chain. We call on the EU to adhere to the principles of technological neutrality and performance orientation, to delete or substantially modify rules and arrangements that are country-specific or discriminatory, and to effectively safeguard the common interests of existing investments and the common interests of future Sino-EU cooperation. Chinese enterprises are important partners in Europes digital transformation and industrial upgrading.

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.
