Previously, investment in the US was mainly concentrated in the power generation sector; now it will shift to high-tech manufacturing. Operations will be handled by semiconductor foundry giant GlobalFoundries.

Core inflation remained at 2.6% for the third consecutive month, and businesses own price inflation expectations for the next year fell to 3.8%. Meanwhile, July GDP growth was 0.4%, and the labor market cooled moderately, which is insufficient to support an immediate interest rate hike. Bank of England Governor Bailey remains inclined to wait and see, and Deputy Governor Lombardy has previously emphasized that a clear second-round inflation effect is needed before adjusting policy. Therefore, a 6-3 vote to keep interest rates unchanged is highly likely on Thursday. The baseline scenario remains that interest rates will remain at 3.75% until the second quarter of 2027. If energy prices remain high and the economy remains resilient, the Bank of England may still implement an "insurance rate hike." Due to relatively aggressive market pricing, if the policy stance is less hawkish than expected, the euro/pound may face upside risks.
