- PPI matched the pace of deceleration of CPI in June. The inflation came out at 0.1% YoY which was significantly lower than 0.4% expected. Earlier it was 0.9% YoY. Producers' inflation indicates that CPI may continue a decrease in further months despite the fact that the June print had the highest “base”
- Lower inflation may change the Fed's view on further hikes although the July hike is rather a done deal
- EURUSD reached the vicinity of 1.12 after Daly presented a less hawkish stance. She said that 2 hikes are not guaranteed and previous remarks were the way to keep optionality open.
- Minutes from the June ECB meeting did not surprise the market. ECB members agreed that a June hike was needed and expect another hike in July. Moreover, the bankers indicated that due to persistent inflation, there is a chance to extend the hiking cycle beyond July.
- The start of the earnings season is encouraging as Delta Airlines showed record quarterly revenue and profits. Furthermore, Pepsico increased its full-year guidance.
- US100 gains more than 1% and it is only about 8% short of an all-time high. The earnings season started but the market will close watch banks' reports tomorrow
- TNOTE has continued its rebound which supports further gains in commodities, especially in precious metals. Gold was close to 1960 USD per ounce
- NATGAS falls nearly 3% as inventories are still rising and stay significantly above the 5-year average
- GBPUSD has broken the 1.30 resistance as the UK GDP print came out better than expected. The monthly GDP change in May was -0.1% versus -0.3% that was expected. Stronger GDP data may encourage BoE to raise interest rates further
- IEA said in a recent report that demand is set to rise by 2.2 mbd in 2023 and reach a record 102.1 mbd. IEA pointed out that the oil exports from Russia declined to the lowest since March 2021 and Saudi Arabia's output is set to hit a 2-year low close to 9mbd in July and August will put positive pressure on prices. WTI tested a vicinity of 77 USD/b today
