On August 20th, the Trump administration took further steps to restrict immigrants eligibility for reimbursable portions of four tax credits designed to help students, workers, and families. According to the proposed rules released Wednesday, only U.S. citizens and certain aliens, including lawful permanent residents, asylum seekers, and refugees, would be eligible for reimbursable portions of tax credits for children, students, adoptive parents, and low- to middle-income workers. U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessenter stated in a statement, “Under President Trump’s leadership, the days of undocumented immigrants receiving taxpayer-funded benefits are over. Federal law is clear, and the Treasury is enforcing it.” The proposed restrictions would not only cover immigrants illegally staying in the U.S. but also some legally authorized immigrants working in the country. The Treasury estimates the proposal could save between $700 million and $2.6 billion annually.Canadian Trade Minister LeBlanc: Trade agreement negotiations with the United States are still ongoing.Canadian Prime Minister Carney: Canada is moving toward a trade agreement with the United States, and significant progress has been made in the negotiations.August 20th - As of July 22nd, France has experienced two consecutive heat waves, during which more than 7,000 excess deaths have been recorded. Meanwhile, the country, which experienced its hottest July in over a century, has also seen its industry and public health services severely impacted. The French Public Health Agency stated in a statement on Wednesday that at least 5,764 excess deaths were recorded between June 17th and July 2nd, and another 1,243 between July 3rd and 22nd. During the second heat wave, people aged 75 and over accounted for three-quarters of the deaths. This summers record-breaking heatwave sweeping Western Europe has placed immense pressure on public health services, triggered devastating wildfires, and disrupted numerous sectors, from transportation to food and energy production. July this year became the hottest month on record in France since temperatures began in 1900. Earlier this month, a French government minister stated that the heatwave could cause France economic losses of up to €15 billion ($17.5 billion).Israel Defense Forces: Four Hamas militant commanders were killed in an airstrike in the Gaza Strip.

The EUR/USD rise is getting close to 1.0200 as investors await US inflation data

The EUR/USD moves in the 1.0200 range during Tuesday's Asian session after falling from 1.0221 as traders look for fresh data. The major currency pair gained over the first part of the week but lost some of those gains by Monday's close. Recent price fluctuations, however, seem to be constrained by a lack of noteworthy data or events and a cautious attitude ahead of Wednesday's release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for July.

 

Gains in the EUR/USD the day before are shown by higher readings of the Eurozone Sentix Investor Confidence Index and a drop in US Treasury yields. The primary sentiment indicator Index, however, increased in August from -26.4 to -25.2, which was projected to be the value. According to specifics, the eurozone's present state has improved from this month's lowest position since March 2021, when it was -16.5, to -16.3. The expectations index is at its lowest level since December 2008, despite a little increase to -33.8. It is still very close to that level. The US Dollar Index (DXY), in contrast, saw a daily decrease of 0.19 percent to 106.37.

 

The moderate Azione's resignation from the newly formed alliance ahead of the September elections looks to have put negative pressure on the Euro elsewhere due to Italian political worries.

 

The moderate Azione has backed out of its coalition with the Democratic Party and the +Europe party after only agreeing to do so last week. According to party leader Carlo Calendar, "the parts didn't fit." According to Reuters and Market News Publishing US, the alliance was formed in an effort to stop a more conservative government from taking office after the election on September 25.

 

Notably, gains in the EUR/USD the day before appeared to have been constrained by US President Joe Biden's displeasure of China's efforts to retake Taiwan and his censure of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trip to Taipei.

 

These actions caused the 10-year US Treasury rates, which had increased by 14 basis points (bps) the day before, to fall by around seven basis points (bps) to 2.75 percent. Wall Street also started Monday's trading day on a positive one before ending on a mixed note, albeit as of press time, S&P 500 Futures are showing minor gains.

 

Participants in the EUR/USD market may be interested in the second quarter's (Q2) US Nonfarm Productivity and Unit Labor Costs data. Forecasts suggest that US Nonfarm Productivity may rise to -4.6% from -7.3%, while Unit Labor Costs may decrease to 9.5% from 12.6%. The news regarding Taiwan and Russia will also be important for determining direction.
