South Korean Finance Minister: Foreign exchange issues were not discussed in US-South Korea trade negotiations.On July 31, economists at ANZ Research believe that if the United States imposes tariffs of at least 25% on India, Indias attractiveness to foreign businesses will be affected. These businesses view India as a key player in their diversification strategies. India would be economically disadvantaged by the tariffs and penalties proposed by Trump. The exact nature of the penalties remains unclear, but they appear to be a response to Indias purchases of Russian energy and weapons. This tariff is higher than the 15%-20% range negotiated by other Asian economies.An executive at JERA, Japans largest electric power company, said: "US tariffs will have little impact on manufacturing electricity demand."On July 31st, Xing Yiteng, Deputy Director of the Development Planning Department of the National Energy Administration, stated that in the first half of the year, the growth rate of electricity consumption stabilized and rebounded, reaching 4.7% and 4.4% in April and May, respectively, and a 5.4% year-on-year increase in June. Natural gas demand saw a slight increase, primarily driven by urban gas. Coal consumption declined slightly, primarily due to warm winter weather and a significant increase in renewable energy output. Refined oil consumption continued its negative growth trend, with new energy vehicles and liquefied natural gas (LNG) heavy-duty trucks continuing to displace transportation fuel.The rupiah fell to 16,445 against the dollar, its lowest in more than a month.

After the session's midpoint on Friday, September E-mini S&P 500 Index futures started to move down as the benchmark index was hampered by a poor performance in the technology sector. Poor results by Twitter and Snap were the main drivers of the sell-off, which sparked a wave of selling in social media companies.


September E-mini S&P 500 Index futures are now trading at 3949.00, down 52.25 or 1.31 percent, as of 17:53 GMT. The S&P 500 Trust ETF (SPY) is down $5.49 or 1.38 percent, trading at $393.30.


Early in the morning, the market suffered from Twitter and Snap's dismal quarterly sales. By mid-session, Twitter was down 1.2 percent, and Snap's shares had fallen about 40%.


Meta Platform Inc. and Alphabet Inc., two industry leaders in online advertising, saw their shares fall by 7.5% and 5.6%, respectively, hurting the NASDAQ.


According to Reuters, a poll released on Friday revealed that U.S. business activity fell in July for the first time in almost two years, adding to worries about an economy that is being stymied by high inflation, increasing interest rates, and declining consumer confidence.

Swing Chart Technical Analysis for the Day

The daily swing chart indicates that the overall trend is upward. The intraday price movement, however, indicates momentum could be swinging downward.


A move through 4016.25 will indicate that the uptrend has resumed. The primary trend will switch to down if a transaction is made through 3723.75.


The middle range is 4204.75 to 3639.00. The index is now challenging the 3821.75 to 3988.75 retracement range.


The minor range is 3723.75 to 4016.25. A possible objective on the downside is its 50 percent mark at 3870.00.


3639.00 to 4016.25 is the short-term range. The last possible support before the big bottom at 3639.00 is located in its retracement range, which runs from 3815 to 3773.50.
