Chart: US market data for Monday, July 20, 2026A U.S. appeals court has dismissed a class-action lawsuit filed over the Boeing (BA.N) 737 MAX 9 aircraft door detachment incident.July 20 (Xinhua) -- Bulgarian Prime Minister Radev said on the 20th that the Bulgarian government has received a request from the United States to deploy up to eight refueling aircraft at the Bezmer Air Base in Bulgaria and will submit it to parliament for approval. Radev stated that the government received the request from the US on the 17th, which aims to support its military operations in the Middle East. The US cited a 2006 intergovernmental defense cooperation agreement between the two countries. This agreement allows the US military to use bases within Bulgaria, including the Bezmer Air Base. Radev said that although the US urgently submitted the deployment request, the Bulgarian government has not yet approved it because, according to Bulgarian law, such a decision must be made by parliament. The government will propose to parliament that the refueling aircraft be deployed at the Bezmer Air Base.July 20 – KPMG Canada Chief Economist Ali Jaffery stated that Canadas June inflation report showed limited evidence of rising energy costs being passed on to goods such as food. The June report indicated that the inflation rate slowed to 2.8% in June from 3.2% in the previous month. Jaffery said that economic literature suggests this transmission could take a year or more to peak, but the slow start is encouraging. He stated that concerns about accelerating commodity price increases due to the combined effect of rising energy prices and US tariffs have not been substantiated. He added that the CPI basket showed "considerable weakness" after excluding travel services; travel service prices rose in June due to the World Cup matches held in Toronto and Vancouver.The U.S. Geological Survey reports a 6.4-magnitude earthquake that struck approximately 86 kilometers southwest of San Augustine (Chiapas), Mexico.

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.
