The draft resolution received 152 votes in favor, 3 against, and 4 abstentions; China voted in favor.

Sources say the talks may take place during the UN General Assembly in New York. Trump plans to discuss the situation in Iran with Gulf leaders concurrently and hopes to arrange a meeting with Rodriguez. A Trump advisor stated that Venezuela is one of the Trump administrations key achievements, and Rodriguez is a key figure in promoting US-Venezuela relations. A senior US government official said the meeting is not yet finalized and the final arrangements depend on Trump himself. Trump previously responded "maybe" when asked if he would meet with Rodriguez. Rodriguez assumed power after the capture of former leader Nicolás al-Nimadro in a US military operation and has worked with the Trump administration and Secretary of State Marco Rubio to normalize US-Venezuela relations, including a previously reported major Venezuelan oil deal. The report points out that Trumps side is more focused on domestic political issues such as energy prices and immigration policy than on promoting democratic elections in Venezuela.

The USD/JPY crosses the 135.00 mark as the DXY rises ahead of US inflation

The USD/JPY pair is climbing northward during the Asian session in an attempt to retake its two-week high at 135.58. The asset's price turned positive on Monday as a result of the abundance of bids that occurred near 134.50. The USD/JPY pair's two-day consolidated activity shows that market participants are anxiously awaiting the release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI).

 

Investors expect a decrease in price pressures this time, thus the release of the US inflation report is crucial. The investment community is aware that the crisis between Russia and Ukraine sharply increased oil prices, which continued to be essential to pressures on global costs.

 

A more than 11% drop in oil prices in July contributed to the black gold's continued sluggishness and lowered inflation expectations. The market anticipates that the inflation rate will decrease from 9.1% to 8.7%. The core CPI, which does not include food and oil, is anticipated to increase to 6.1% from the previously announced 5.9%. It appears that the demand for durable goods is rapidly increasing again. The US dollar index (DXY) is currently aiming to surpass the 106.40 immediate barrier.

 

The yen bulls are circling Tokyo as a result of Japan's government reorganization. Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki will probably remain in the cabinet after this week's reorganization by Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. All eyes will now be on the Japanese government's efforts to raise the labor cost index, which is essential for keeping inflation over 2%.
