Iranian Foreign Minister: Iran does not seek escalation, but any attack against our citizens or interests is unacceptable and compensation must be made for the damage.Market news: The United States has approved a deal with General Dynamics for a next-generation submarine.On July 29, according to Irans Fars News Agency, citing Israels Channel 12, Israeli and UAE officials recently held several secret meetings in an unnamed third country to discuss coordinating their positions on Iran and taking joint action in the international arena. The report stated that during the talks, the UAE strongly opposed the US-Iran memorandum of understanding, arguing that while the agreement might buy Iran time to improve its economic situation, it offered no substantial concessions. The two sides also discussed coordinating measures against Iran within international organizations, but agreed that any action would require prior consultation with the Trump administration. The report cited Western diplomatic sources as saying that the UAEs stance on Iran is tougher than some Gulf states, and that its ability to export energy through alternative routes strengthens its shared interests with Israel in dealing with the Iranian issue.On July 29th, according to The Information, Google (GOOG.O) disclosed last week that it has agreed to assume up to $44 billion in third-party data center lease payments in the event of tenant defaults. This figure is an increase from $6.5 billion at the end of September, reflecting Googles efforts to provide its AI chip alternatives to Nvidia to companies like Anthropic. It is understood that Google has assumed these commitments, known as "backup guarantees," to scale its TPU sales. Two sources revealed that Google assumed these commitments based on the consideration that the revenue generated from TPU sales would exceed the financial obligations arising from guaranteeing data center leases to accommodate these chips. One source stated that company executives were confident this financial calculation was favorable to Alphabet. The report states that Alphabet has already provided lease guarantees for approximately 2.4 gigawatts of capacity across about ten projects. These projects are currently incomplete, meaning Alphabets guarantees have not yet taken effect.As of the 2:30 closing bell, the main Shanghai gold futures contract fell 0.73% to 882 yuan/gram, the main Shanghai silver futures contract fell 1.43% to 14,016 yuan/kilogram, and the main SC crude oil futures contract fell 2.48% to 527 yuan/barrel.

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.
