A Reuters poll showed that 36 out of 37 economists expect the Bank of Korea to raise its benchmark interest rate to 2.75% at its July 16 meeting. 28 out of 31 economists expect the Bank of Korea to raise the benchmark interest rate to 3.00% by the end of the year.As of 8:30 on July 14, 2026, WTI crude oil, Brent crude oil and other commodities saw the largest fluctuations.

The bank will announce its policy decision later this week. The minutes repeatedly stressed the side effects of rising borrowing costs, widely seen as a way for the committee to signal an impending policy adjustment while minimizing market volatility. For example, in the minutes of its June 2022 meeting, the committee stated that "it is necessary to assess whether corporate credit demand will remain strong in the context of rising interest rates." Approximately three weeks later, the central bank implemented its first-ever 50-basis-point interest rate hike. This time, the minutes followed a similar pattern, providing new clues about the direction of monetary policy ahead of Thursdays interest rate decision. The committee warned that as borrowing costs rise, the financial difficulties of vulnerable sectors will inevitably worsen; while providing fiscal support, financial institutions should strengthen loan reviews, and companies should also proceed with restructuring.Bahrains media advisor: Bahrains air defense forces intercepted and destroyed an air attack from Iran.

The EUR/GBP pair extended its recovery above 0.88 during the Asian trading session. Anticipating that the European Central Bank (ECB) will continue to raise interest rates to combat persistent inflation, the cross has depreciated progressively. Friday will see the publication of preliminary Eurozone Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (Q4) figures. Prior to the publication of these figures, it is anticipated that the asset will exhibit explosive activity.

 

It is anticipated that the preliminary Eurozone HICP will decelerate significantly from 8.5% to 7.3%. While it is anticipated that the core HICP will rise to 5.7% from 5.6% in the previous release. Weak energy prices are anticipated to have a significant impact on Eurozone inflation. In light of Christine Lagarde's prediction that inflation will remain elevated for an extended period of time, the European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to continue tightening monetary policy.

 

In the interim, banking tensions are subsiding as the absence of information regarding additional collateral damage has a positive impact on the market. Chief Economist Philip Lane stated on Wednesday that ECB interest rates must rise if banking tension has no or a "relatively limited" impact.

 

Investors avidly anticipate the United Kingdom's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data. According to the consensus, the United Kingdom's growth in the fourth quarter of CY2022 remained unchanged. It is anticipated that the annual GDP will remain unchanged at 0.4%. It is expected that the British economy will undergo a severe recession as a result of high inflation and sluggish growth.

 

The Bank of England (BoE) policymakers appear confident that inflation will moderate in the near future and that the unexpected rise in February's inflation was a one-time anomaly; however, the absence of evidence raises doubts. If inflation persists, BoE Governor Andrew Bailey stated that additional rate increases would be announced. In contrast, Bank of America (BoA) analysts anticipate that the Bank of England (BoE) will not increase rates and will maintain current levels until 2024.
