He stated that Ukrainian forces might attempt to attack and destroy the dam again. If this were to happen, several streets in riverbanks and settlements near Kharkiv Oblast would be flooded, impacting the lives of approximately 1,000 residents.

The Ukrainian side has not yet responded to this request.On October 25th, Bank of France Governor François Villeroy de Villeroy warned lawmakers debating the 2026 budget that the deficit must not exceed 4.8% of economic output to ensure France can cope with its growing debt burden. The French National Assembly is currently debating a draft budget that targets 4.7% GDP growth, but Prime Minister Jean-Claude Le Cornu has said the ultimate target should be within 5%, and he is seeking a compromise with opposition lawmakers. "It is absolutely necessary to keep the deficit below 3% between now and 2029, which would imply a maximum deficit of 4.8% next year," Villeroy de Villeroy said in an interview with La Croix. He also stated that France faces the risk of "progressive suffocation" from debt and that additional deficit spending will fail to stimulate economic growth. According to calculations by the Bank of France, if debt uncertainty is reduced, a 1% reduction in the household savings rate would boost economic growth by 0.4%. However, Villeroy de Villeroy stated that the French economy has strong momentum this year and growth will be "at least" as strong as the Banks forecast of 0.7%.

GBP/USD hits 1.16 because to Truss' fiscal boost and rising BOE rates

GBP/USD receives bids to retest the intraday high above 1.1590 as bulls embrace Lizz Truss' leadership amid expectations of a large stimulus and a push to the Bank of England (BOE). Consequently, throughout Tuesday's Asian session, the Cable pair led the G10 currency pairs with intraday gains of 0.65%.

 

"Incoming Prime Minister Liz Truss has drafted plans to stabilize annual energy and gas costs for a typical UK residence at or below the current level of £1,971," As a result of Russia's decision to shut off gas supplies to Europe in response to sanctions imposed in response to the invasion of Ukraine, she is under pressure to find a solution to increasing energy prices that are crushing individuals and businesses in the United Kingdom.

 

After the results were revealed, Truss declared, "I will submit a solid proposal to cut taxes and stimulate the economy." According to Reuters, UK prime ministerial candidate Truss stated, "I would resolve the energy crisis by tackling people's energy prices and our long-term energy supply problems."

 

Aside from that, her criticism of the BOE's slow response to the fight against inflation is well-known, which suggests that the "Old Lady," as the UK's central bank is often known, will increase interest rates more quickly.

 

The dollar's loss also contributes to the GBP/USD recovery, it should be noted. Despite this, the US Dollar Index (DXY) fell 0.35 percent to 109.43 at press time, failing to justify higher US Treasury yields. In doing so, the dollar index versus the six major currencies extended its drop from yesterday's 20-year high.

 

The decrease in the DXY may also be attributable to the market's cautious optimism, as indicated by mildly optimistic stock futures, in anticipation that global authorities will be able to address the energy crisis. The recent reduction in hawkish Fed predictions, particularly in the wake of Friday's mixed US employment report, provides additional support for the GBP/USD recovery.

 

Alternatively, according to data released by payments provider Barclaycard on Tuesday, a decrease in Consumer Spending investigates the bears. The Financial Times said that "UK consumers cut spending on clothing, home improvement, and cosmetics in August, while business activity declined, a symptom of "collapsing" demand due to the escalating cost of living crisis" (FT).

 

Amid crowded markets, risk catalysts are likely to occupy pair traders in the future. Also essential will be the ISM Services PMI for August, which is predicted to be 55.5 as opposed to the prior reading of 56.7.
