According to the UAE news agency, Trump discussed cooperation between the UAE and the United States and ways to further strengthen relations in support of common interests.August 18th - Investors have reason to worry about inflation, but this may not be the primary reason for rising bond yields. In fact, inflation expectations, as measured by the breakeven rate, are quite close to the Federal Reserves long-term target of 2%. Capital.com analyst Daniela Hathaway stated, "Investors can be confident that inflation will average around 2%-2.5% in the long run, but this forecast is becoming less certain due to oil, tariffs, fiscal policy, and other supply shocks." She added that the bond sell-off is driven by "persistent inflation risks, massive government borrowing, and increasingly fierce competition for capital, rather than simply a sharp rise in expected inflation itself."International Atomic Energy Agency: No nuclear safety or security damage was reported following the drone explosion.On August 18, Qatari Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Majid Ansari stated that Qatars current diplomatic efforts are primarily focused on de-escalating the crisis and preventing further escalation. The solution lies in achieving a ceasefire between the US and Iran, opening the Strait of Hormuz and guaranteeing freedom of navigation, while simultaneously pushing the US and Iran back to the negotiating table. Ansari noted that Qatar and Pakistan previously mediated a memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran, and Qatar is working to restore dialogue between the two sides and implement the memorandum. However, due to the breach of the ceasefire, the relevant provisions have not been fully implemented. Currently, Qatar is awaiting an agreement between Oman and Iran on the Strait of Hormuz issue, hoping to use this to resume the negotiation process and prevent further escalation. Ansari also stated that the current priority is to reach an agreement that simultaneously ensures the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and a ceasefire. Qatar will continue to push all parties involved to return to negotiations to implement the previously reached memorandum of understanding or to reach an agreement to end the war.The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported that the explosion injured or killed 16 employees and contractors, including one fatality and three serious injuries.

The GBP/USD pair is hitting resistance near the immediate barrier of 1.1360 during the Tokyo session. The barriers surrounding 1.1360 seem to be thinning as market participants' risk tolerance increases. After two straight strong trading days, S&P500 futures have continued to increase their gains in the Tokyo session. After overcoming the aforementioned challenge, the pound bulls will grow stronger.

 

The US dollar index (DXY), which is now doing poorly, is circling about 112.00. The value of the asset can drop even further as a result of a decline in the demand for safe-haven assets. In contrast, despite the Fed's heightened hawkishness, US bond returns continue to be strong. The 10-year US Treasury yields have advanced over 4.01% as of the time of writing.

 

The likelihood of a fourth consecutive 75 basis point (bps) rate increase announcement is roughly 96%, according to the CME FedWatch tool.

 

According to Reuters, Neel Kashkari, president of the Minneapolis Fed Bank, said on Tuesday in response to escalating inflationary pressures, "Until I see some compelling indication that core inflation has at least peaked, I am not willing to pronounce a pause in rate hikes."

 

The rate of inflation hasn't changed much as a result of ongoing Fed rate rises. Although the core Consumer Price Index (CPI) is well-anchored due to rising service sector pricing, the headline CPI has declined as a result of decreasing fuel prices.

 

On the British front, the Bank of England (BOE) announced on November 1 that the Asset Purchase Facility will include its bond-selling program (APF). Market liquidity will decrease as a result.

 

In the UK, political unrest is at an all-time high as a result of the government's lack of confidence in Prime Minister Liz Truss. If given the opportunity to vote again, Rishi Sunak, who lost to Ms. Truss, would receive 55% of the Tory members' votes, while Ms. Truss would receive only 25%.

 

Future course will depend on the inflation figures released by the United Kingdom on Wednesday. Forecasts suggest that the headline and core inflation rates could both rise by 10 basis points, to 10% and 6.4%, respectively. An increase in inflation reaching double digits could pose new challenges for the British economy.
