According to Fubao Information monitoring, as of August 4th, the spot aluminum price was 23,720 yuan/ton, up 0.94% month-on-month and 15.82% year-on-year. Key influencing factors: 1. The ongoing situation in the Middle East is concerning, raising concerns about its impact on the inflation path. While the supply and demand balance of aluminum itself has not been significantly disrupted, geopolitical uncertainties and reduced domestic and international inventories provide some support for aluminum prices. Following the Feds unchanged interest rate and Warshs slightly neutral stance, the market anticipates a rate hike in the fourth quarter, continuing to monitor the inflation process, which has eased some upward pressure on commodities. 2. Fundamentals remain relatively stable. Aluminum smelter operating rates are steadily increasing, the industrys aluminum-to-water ratio is high, downstream and end-user demand is resilient, and there are no obvious off-season characteristics. Aluminum ingot social inventories continue to decline, but the decline has slowed after the price increase. It is expected that aluminum prices will fluctuate between 23,500-24,000 yuan/ton in the short term.A Russian nighttime attack on the Kyiv region of Ukraine has killed 14 people and injured 27.JPMorgan Chase raised its price target for AMD (AMD.O) from $385 to $550.

The EUR/GBP pair extended its recovery above 0.88 during the Asian trading session. Anticipating that the European Central Bank (ECB) will continue to raise interest rates to combat persistent inflation, the cross has depreciated progressively. Friday will see the publication of preliminary Eurozone Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (Q4) figures. Prior to the publication of these figures, it is anticipated that the asset will exhibit explosive activity.

 

It is anticipated that the preliminary Eurozone HICP will decelerate significantly from 8.5% to 7.3%. While it is anticipated that the core HICP will rise to 5.7% from 5.6% in the previous release. Weak energy prices are anticipated to have a significant impact on Eurozone inflation. In light of Christine Lagarde's prediction that inflation will remain elevated for an extended period of time, the European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to continue tightening monetary policy.

 

In the interim, banking tensions are subsiding as the absence of information regarding additional collateral damage has a positive impact on the market. Chief Economist Philip Lane stated on Wednesday that ECB interest rates must rise if banking tension has no or a "relatively limited" impact.

 

Investors avidly anticipate the United Kingdom's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data. According to the consensus, the United Kingdom's growth in the fourth quarter of CY2022 remained unchanged. It is anticipated that the annual GDP will remain unchanged at 0.4%. It is expected that the British economy will undergo a severe recession as a result of high inflation and sluggish growth.

 

The Bank of England (BoE) policymakers appear confident that inflation will moderate in the near future and that the unexpected rise in February's inflation was a one-time anomaly; however, the absence of evidence raises doubts. If inflation persists, BoE Governor Andrew Bailey stated that additional rate increases would be announced. In contrast, Bank of America (BoA) analysts anticipate that the Bank of England (BoE) will not increase rates and will maintain current levels until 2024.
