In his State of the Union address to Congress on Tuesday, Trump began explaining to the American public why the US might strike Iran, stating that Tehran is developing missiles that could "soon reach" the United States. However, two sources indicated that an unpublished 2025 assessment by the US Defense Intelligence Agency suggests that Iran may not be able to develop a "militarily viable intercontinental ballistic missile" (ICBM) using its existing Satellite Launch Vehicle (SLV) until 2035.February 27th - The British Labour Party indicated it was likely to lose to the left-wing Green Party in the by-elections for Gordon and Denton, a significant blow to Prime Minister Starmer. A senior Labour MP stated, "We believe the Greens have won." In this constituency, a Labour stronghold for nearly a century, Labour was embroiled in a fierce three-way race with two populist parties: the left-wing Green Party and the right-wing Reform Party. Voters cast their ballots on Thursday. Early Friday morning, before the vote count was complete, Labour Deputy Leader Lucy Powell stated that voters had consistently tried to block the Reform Party. She said, "It is very clear that the vast majority of voters in this constituency did not vote for the Reform Party, and the Green Party successfully proved itself to be the best option to block the Reform Party." She did not indicate whether Labour came in second or third place. However, according to another MP, Labour members believe that after an election where the Green Party attempted to portray itself as "the one that stops the Reform Party," Labour faces a major defeat against the Greens.U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Norm said on Thursday that the Department of Homeland Security shutdown is affecting security and preparations for the 2026 World Cup and the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States.

Markets Gripped by Recession Fears, US CPI in Focus

Tuesday saw a sea of red on the Asian stock market as risk appetite was stifled by concerns about the recession and a resurgent Covid-19 outbreak in China.

 

Prior to the US inflation data and earnings season, Wall Street's major indexes suffered overnight as investors fled to safety. Europe's energy crisis and increased caution in front of important economic data and bank profits are anticipated to cause markets to start lower there.


The dollar index (DXY) reached its greatest levels since 2002 in the currency markets, flexing its safe-haven capabilities. In the meanwhile, prices reached 1.0004 for the first time since December 2002 this morning, bringing the EUR/USD parity fantasy that much closer to reality. When it comes to commodities, gold is still down and unpopular, while demand worries have caused oil prices to decline.


The unease and gloom that permeate the financial markets may drive up the dollar more while driving down stock prices. The next US CPI data on Wednesday may cause a commotion since markets are still very volatile and sensitive to anything related to inflation.


Consumer confidence in Australia fell for the eighth consecutive month in July according to statistics.


Amid rising inflation, impending rises, and global unease, business confidence also fell short of expectations. Later this morning, the ZEW economic confidence poll for Germany will be released. A negative assessment might exacerbate the euro's problems and further devalue the single currency.

The US inflation data is what's important.


Investors are eagerly awaiting the publication of the US inflation data on Wednesday to see if prices are increasing once again or whether we have reached a high. Inflation is predicted to increase 8.8 percent year-over-year in June compared to 8.6 percent in May, according to a Bloomberg survey.

If predictions come true, consumer prices will have risen at the quickest rate since December 1981 when they increased by 8.9 percent. Such a scenario is likely to support market predictions of more aggressive Fed rate rises and eventually give dollar bulls new energy.


On Thursday, it could be a good idea to pay attention to the weekly unemployment claims report in addition to the US inflation statistics. There will also be a flurry of important announcements at the end of the week, including the most recent retail sales, industrial output, and consumer sentiment, all of which will shed light on the state of the US economy.
