He made the announcement while participating in a golf tournament at his own golf course in western Ireland. Trump stated that Irish Prime Minister Michal Martin and Irish Open champion Shane Lowry had urged him to remove the tariffs during his visit. "On behalf of the United States of America, I will remove these tariffs," Trump said at the tournaments awards ceremony, which was met with cheers from the crowd.On September 14th, according to foreign media reports, Trump defended his remarks calling for Irish reunification, calling them "fairly routine comments" and sticking to his previous statements. These remarks have sparked controversy in Northern Ireland. Speaking to reporters at the Irish Open in Dornberg, Ireland on Sunday, Trump said, "Ive always liked the Irish people. It seems to me that since theres Northern Ireland and Ireland, uniting them seems like one of the most logical things that has ever happened." "Thats just my personal opinion. By the way, a lot of people agree with that," Trump said. "I made what I consider a fairly routine comment, and I got a lot of support." Trumps remarks on Sunday came in response to a question about whether British Prime Minister Andy Burnham should hold a referendum on Irish reunification, although the US president avoided the specific question.On September 14th, U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright warned oil traders not to expect a quick breakthrough on the Strait of Hormuz issue. Iran is planning to propose a shipping agreement to other Gulf states. In an interview on Sunday, Wright stated, "Expecting to reach a consensus agreement with Iran today is clearly not a good option." He said the market still needs to rely on alternative shipping routes. He estimated that these alternative routes can currently still supply about 10 million barrels of crude oil and petroleum products per day. Wright said, "Therefore, the current global oil market supply is indeed tighter than we would like, but not excessively so." Wright also said that Irans nuclear program will end "in some way," adding, "We prefer a negotiated solution. If negotiations fail, they can continue with a secret, hidden, covered-up, and denied nuclear weapons program, but after that, Iran will face the U.S. military, and the U.S. military will ensure they cannot develop nuclear weapons."

The GBP/USD pair is struggling to extend advances above the immediate resistance level of 1.2250 in the early Asian session. The Cable had selling pressure while repeatedly overcoming the aforementioned resistance level, but it is currently likely to extend the uptrend due to a significant increase in market participants' risk appetite.

 

A four-day winning streak in the S&P 500 suggests a relatively bullish market sentiment. Investors pour capital into perceived-risk assets while dumping perceived-safety assets. Surprisingly, rates on 10-year US Treasury securities rose to 3.50 percent. The US Dollar Index (DXY) was able to minimize its drop at around 101.76.

 

This week, the Pound Sterling will be affected by the United Kingdom's announcement of inflation data on Wednesday. The headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) (Dec) is anticipated to decline to 10.6% from 10.7% before. While the figures for the core price index, which includes oil and gas prices, may rise from 6.3% to 6.6% over the same time period.

 

It indicates that UK inflation has become more enduring, and the Bank of England (BOE) will be required to continue raising interest rates. Catherine Mann, a member of the BOE, remarked that the central bank need not be concerned about the possibility of overtightening during its interest rate-raising cycle.

 

Investors anticipate the publication of Producer Price Index (PPI) data in the United States. The market expects headline factory gate prices of goods and services to decrease from 7.4% to 6.8% in December. Additionally, the core PPI may fall to 5.9% from 6.2% in a comparable era.
