On May 29th, a draft plan revealed that the European Union is attempting to revitalize its struggling semiconductor industry by reviving the "Chip Makers Act," a move expected to require €120 billion (approximately $140 billion) in public-private partnerships by 2035. The upcoming Chip Makers Act 2.0 will focus on practical measures to boost domestic demand for chips within the EU, as the original 2023 act failed in its efforts to expand EU market share. One major project under consideration is a €30 billion investment in a new factory to produce artificial intelligence semiconductors and advanced 3-nanometer chips. Funding for this project will be provided jointly by the European Commission, the EUs executive body, member states, and private companies. The European Commission will also facilitate connections between companies in the telecommunications, defense, and automotive sectors and chip suppliers, with the suppliers developing technologies to meet these companies needs. The draft is scheduled to be submitted to legislators next week, but changes are still possible.Federal Reserve Chairman Mussalem: Warsh will raise profound questions about how the Fed operates.

NZD/USD falls rapidly from 0.6260 when the RBNZ announces a decline in inflation projections to 3.07 percent

The NZD/USD pair has encountered selling pressure while attempting to surpass the immediate resistance level of 0.6260. The asset has seen bids after the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) announced inflation estimates at 3.07 percent, down from 3.29 percent previously. It could be an indication of waning price pressure, but additional evidence is still needed to support the argument.

 

Price pressures in the New Zealand economy are increasing and have not yet shown signs of weariness. A June report indicates that an inflation rate of 7.3% is adequate to generate headwinds for families. The RBNZ is consistently escalating its policy tightening measures to combat the same. RBNZ Governor Adrian Orr has already increased the Official Cash Rate by 2.50 percentage points.

 

On the front of the US dollar, the US dollar index (DXY) has returned all intraday gains and is currently trading near the day's open at 106.60. While attempting to break over the crucial resistance level of 106.80, the DXY has encountered selling pressure. This week, investors' attention is centered on Wednesday's release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI).

 

The annual inflation rate is projected to continue at 8.7 percent, down from 9.1 percent in the previous report. Oil prices have been on a downward trend in July, which may be the determining factor for a significant decline in the price increase index. While the US CPI excluding volatile food and oil prices may increase from 5.9 percent to 6.1 percent, the previous reading was 5.9 percent.
