June 29th - Given the Reserve Bank of Australias recent warning that official interest rates could rise further, issues concerning the Middle East conflict and oil prices remain crucial. Matthew Hassan, Head of Macro Forecasting for Australia at Westpac, expects the normalization of oil and gas supplies to be a "slow and tortuous process." He noted that concerns about persistently high domestic inflation will force the RBA to raise interest rates further in August. Hassan added that this decision will be difficult for the committee given the already weak economic growth.Invesco survey: 61% of central banks believe that the level of US debt has a negative impact on the long-term status of the dollar as a reserve asset.June 29 - On June 28 local time, Venezuelan Acting President Rodriguez stated that power services in La Guaira state, the hardest-hit area by the earthquake, have been restored to 75%, water supply to 68%, and road traffic to approximately 90%, with road and vehicle traffic essentially back to normal.Ruwei Technology announced on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that it plans to issue 28.08 million H shares in its Hong Kong listing at a price of HK$21.66 per share, with trading expected to commence on July 8.June 29 - According to Kintetsu Railway Company, a train derailed at Kyoto Station at approximately 5:13 AM local time on June 29.

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.
