A Reuters poll showed that 36 out of 37 economists expect the Bank of Korea to raise its benchmark interest rate to 2.75% at its July 16 meeting. 28 out of 31 economists expect the Bank of Korea to raise the benchmark interest rate to 3.00% by the end of the year.As of 8:30 on July 14, 2026, WTI crude oil, Brent crude oil and other commodities saw the largest fluctuations.

The bank will announce its policy decision later this week. The minutes repeatedly stressed the side effects of rising borrowing costs, widely seen as a way for the committee to signal an impending policy adjustment while minimizing market volatility. For example, in the minutes of its June 2022 meeting, the committee stated that "it is necessary to assess whether corporate credit demand will remain strong in the context of rising interest rates." Approximately three weeks later, the central bank implemented its first-ever 50-basis-point interest rate hike. This time, the minutes followed a similar pattern, providing new clues about the direction of monetary policy ahead of Thursdays interest rate decision. The committee warned that as borrowing costs rise, the financial difficulties of vulnerable sectors will inevitably worsen; while providing fiscal support, financial institutions should strengthen loan reviews, and companies should also proceed with restructuring.Bahrains media advisor: Bahrains air defense forces intercepted and destroyed an air attack from Iran.

NZD/USD Price Analysis: Protects NZ Inflation-Induced Support Break; 0.6140 in Sight

During the mid-Asian session on Thursday, NZD/USD bears maintain control at the lowest levels in five weeks while defending New Zealand (NZ) losses caused by inflation near 0.6160. This justifies not only the weaker-than-anticipated New Zealand inflation, but also the recent break of one-month-old horizontal support, which is now immediate resistance, as well as the bearish MACD signals.

 

As measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) policy purists were unpleasantly surprised by New Zealand's (NZ) first-quarter (Q1) inflation. Despite this, the Quarter-over-Quarter change in the New Zealand Consumer Price Index (CPI) decreases from 1.7% and 1.4%, respectively, to 1.2%.

 

Following the publication of disappointing data, the NZD/USD pair breached a one-month-old horizontal support level, which is now acting as a barrier near 0.6170. The bearish MACD signals are now directing NZD/USD traders toward a horizontal support level that has been in place for 1.5 months and is located near 0.6140.

 

If the NZD/USD bears remain dominant above 0.6140, the 2023 low of 0.6085 cannot be ruled out.

 

The 200-day simple moving average hurdle of 0.6220 becomes crucial for NZD/USD investors to return.

 

If the NZD/USD pair remains above 0.6220, a run up to the previous weekly high around 0.6315 and then to the monthly high of 0.6386 cannot be ruled out.
