A U.S. appeals court rejected the Trump administrations request to implement rules restricting mail-in voting.September 11 – According to the Wall Street Journal, citing informed officials in the US and the Middle East, Iran has resumed ballistic missile production, reassembling missiles in underground facilities using previously stockpiled components. Sources say Iran is producing liquid-fueled and solid-fueled ballistic missiles and is operating at multiple underground locations, including the Khojir missile facility in southeastern Iran, while also attempting to build new underground assembly sites to avoid further attacks. The report states that Iran is currently relying primarily on existing stockpiled components for low-scale production, with output below pre-war levels. A US official stated that Iran may be assembling at least several hundred missiles using existing components. The report cites analysts as saying that Iran previously stockpiled warheads, missile bodies, and guidance and control systems; new missile production depends on the size of the stockpile and the recovery of underground facilities, and could reach hundreds or even thousands of missiles. US Department of Defense spokesman Parnell stated that the US has destroyed "up to 90%" of Irans drones, ballistic missiles, and naval industrial infrastructure. Previously, US Defense Secretary Hergsays also stated that Irans missile program had been "substantially destroyed." However, satellite images show that Iran is repairing roads, bridges, production facilities, and missile base tunnel entrances, raising concerns among US and Israeli officials that its military capabilities are being restored.According to the Wall Street Journal, informed U.S. and Middle Eastern officials say Iran has resumed ballistic missile production using stockpiled parts and in underground facilities, undermining major war gains previously claimed by the U.S. and Israel.According to Al Jazeera, the UN Security Council meeting on Yemen, requested by the UK and Bahrain, will be held tonight local time.Officials involved: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Administrator Bryan Bedford met with airline CEOs on Thursday to discuss plans to use software systems to reduce flight delays.

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.
