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 USD/CAD exchange rate is unchanged on the day after a succession of negative impulses drove the price into new territory to the downside and deeper into a support region as a result of the oil price rally. The USD/CAD exchange rate was 1.3431 at the time of writing.

 

Monday's 6.3% rise in West Texas Intermediate WTI crude oil to an intraday high of $81.51 strengthened the CAD. The oil price surged after the OPEC+ cartel surprised the market with a production cut of 1.1 million barrels per day to support prices, with the cartel announcing that it will reduce output prior to Monday's ministerial meeting.

 

Analysts at TD Securities observed that the Bank of Canada's Business/Consumer Surveys painted a more dovish picture ahead of the April BoC meeting, with a marked improvement in capacity pressures and consumer inflation expectations.

 

Analysts noted that firm-level inflation expectations continue to be elevated and that consumer growth and income expectations have also increased since the fourth quarter.

 

''The Bank of Canada should be pleased with these results, which indicate a decline in capacity pressures and a moderation in inflationary pressures. However, inflation expectations remain a formidable impediment to near-term relief. If growth does not decelerate substantially in the second quarter, it may be difficult for the Bank of Canada to keep rates at 4.50 percent. Analysts believe that the report is optimistic for CAD.
