The Premier of Saskatchewan, Canada, stated that both sides need to maintain a broader objective in the Canada-US trade negotiations, namely reviewing and updating the USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement).On August 14th, Freddie Mac reported that the average interest rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage in the United States fell to 6.67% from 6.69% a week earlier, ending a five-week streak of increases, but still remaining at its highest level in over a year. Latest data shows that the US job market is cooling, and the impact of the Iran war on inflation may be weaker than previously expected. US price increases slowed for the second consecutive month in July, with energy, gasoline, and food prices all declining from the previous month, and underlying inflation indicators falling to a five-year low. Combined with the jobs report, the market believes that US economic data is easing pressure on the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates in the coming months, with investors expecting a 25 basis point rate hike in September to decrease from 48% to 38%. However, stalled negotiations in the Strait of Hormuz have raised concerns about persistently high oil prices, and high interest rates and economic uncertainty continue to suppress housing demand. Data shows that US home sales in July fell 4.1% from June, reaching their lowest level in nearly two years.Market news: Ukraine has proposed a ceasefire in the Black Sea to Russia.According to Saudi media Alhadath: The Saudi Arabian Defense Minister met with the Chief of Staff of the Iraqi Armed Forces Command to discuss relations in the military and defense fields.On August 14th, it was learned from the China Geological Survey of the Ministry of Natural Resources that a research team from the Institute of Geology, Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, has made new progress in their study of lunar soil samples from Change 6, providing new evidence for solving the mystery of the stark differences between the two sides of the moon. The research team believes that the clue to the drastically different lunar surfaces lies in the ancient impact that formed the South Pole-Aitken Basin. Research shows that this impact, after the consolidation of the lunar magma ocean, continued to profoundly modify the lunar crust and upper mantle, completely altering the local material composition of the far side. This research provides new scientific evidence for understanding the differences between the two sides of the moon and advances humanitys understanding of the moons complex evolutionary history.
