Stock markets dip as US inflation puts focus on Trump's tariffs - Economy
Most US and European share indices slid on Tuesday, as US inflation data indicated President Donald Trump's tariffs could be feeding into the American economy. In New York, the Nasdaq traded higher, propelled by buoyant news from tech darling Nvidia. But the blue-chip Dow and broader S&P 500 both struggled. The dollar gained ground as prospects of a US interest rate cut dimmed, while oil prices slipped. The US consumer price index for June showed inflation rose 2.7 percent compared with a year earlier. Though in line with economists' forecasts, the rate was above the Federal Reserve's two-percent target. Jochen Stanzl, an analyst at CMC Markets, said detail in the CPI report "points to a trend toward stagflation -- an unwelcome topic for investors in an increasingly overvalued market". Stephen Innes, managing partner at SPI Asset Management, said that "the CPI release showed some early signs of tariff pass-through but underlying inflation remains muted". Analysts said US inflation could pick up further in coming months, as businesses exhaust pre-tariff stockpiles and pass on their higher import costs to consumers. "Rising prices will make it harder for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates and tougher for families living paycheck to paycheck," said Heather Long, chief economist at the Navy Federal Credit Union. Since April, the United States has imposed a baseline 10-percent tariff on goods imported from main trading partners, with steeper levies on steel, aluminium and cars. Trump has threatened 30-percent tariffs on European Union and Mexican goods from August 1 if they do not cut trade deals with Washington. Tariff threat to Russia Most Asian indices closed higher before the US inflation report came out, except for those in Shanghai and Mumbai. China and India are both big trading partners of Russia, which Trump said would be hit with tariffs of up to 100 percent within 50 days if President Vladimir Putin did not end his war on Ukraine. China, which has negotiated a US tariff truce, had on Tuesday issued economic growth data that met expectations, largely thanks to an April-June export surge to get ahead of Trump's levies. Even though Russia is a major crude producer, oil traders bid prices lower, not higher, following Trump's announcement. "The fact that oil prices fell suggests investors are relieved that Trump has allowed sufficiently enough time for Putin to agree to a ceasefire," said Fawad Razaqzada, analyst at "They are also getting used to Trump threating tariffs, only to change his mind in the last minute and extend deadlines," he said. OPEC said in its latest monthly market report it was holding firm on its production forecasts for oil demand to rise by 1.3 million barrels in 2025 and again in 2026. "Continued robust global economic growth is expected... despite ongoing US-centred trade challenges and geopolitical uncertainties," it said. In corporate news, US banks JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Citi posted strong second-quarter results. And Nvidia's share price jumped after it said US export restrictions will be eased to allow it to sell its H20 artificial intelligence chips to China. Key figures at around 1545 GMT New York - Dow: DOWN 0.6 percent at 44,190.75 points New York - S&P 500: FLAT at 6,267.11 New York - Nasdaq Composite: UP 0.6 percent at 20,771.85 London - FTSE 100: DOWN 0.7 percent at 8,938.32 (close) Paris - CAC 40: DOWN 0.5 percent at 7,766.21 (close) Frankfurt - DAX: DOWN 0.4 percent at 24,060.29 (close) Tokyo - Nikkei 225: UP 0.6 percent at 39,678.02 (close) Hong Kong - Hang Seng Index: UP 1.6 percent at 24,590.12 (close) Shanghai - Composite: DOWN 0.4 percent at 3,505.00 (close) Euro/dollar: DOWN at $1.1615 from $1.1670 Pound/dollar: DOWN at $1.3393 from $1.3428 Dollar/yen: UP at 148.87 yen from 147.77 yen Euro/pound: DOWN at 86.73 pence from 86.88 pence Brent North Sea Crude: DOWN 0.4 percent at $68.97 per barrel West Texas Intermediate: DOWN 0.5 percent at $66.66 per barrel Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:

EUR/USD: bullish narrative tested by U.S. trade threats
By Daniela Sabin Hathorn, senior market analyst at The EUR/USD currency pair has enjoyed a strong upward trajectory for most of 2025, but recent developments have introduced uncertainty into what had been a well-supported trend. Much of the pair's gains earlier this year were driven by U.S. dollar weakness, but the narrative has become more complex heading into July. Dollar Weakness vs. Euro Strength: At a glance, the euro appears to have outperformed—but much of this strength, particularly against the dollar, has been the result of a softening greenback. The U.S. dollar index has been in decline for much of the year, providing a favourable backdrop for EUR/USD. However, the euro's relative performance against other major currencies like the yen and sterling suggests intrinsic strength as well. That strength stems in part from the European Central Bank's (ECB) proactive policy stance. As one of the first major central banks to begin cutting rates following the COVID-era hikes, the ECB has lowered rates by around 200 basis points over the past 12 months. Unlike the Federal Reserve or the Bank of England, which have adopted a 'wait-and-see' approach, the ECB acted pre-emptively, moving before inflation data confirmed a slowdown. This decisiveness has been well-received by markets, reinforcing confidence in the euro. A Shift in Sentiment: Now, however, the momentum has started to shift. The U.S. dollar has regained some strength, supported by resilient economic data and expectations of tighter fiscal conditions. This comes just as U.S.-EU trade tensions escalate. Talk of 30% tariffs on European goods has triggered concerns about growth in the EU, especially for export-dependent economies like Germany. Policymakers from both Germany and France have publicly warned that such tariffs would be detrimental to transatlantic relations and European economic performance. These developments have weighed on EUR/USD, halting the rally and prompting questions about whether we're seeing a healthy pullback—or the start of a broader trend reversal. While macroeconomic fundamentals still support the euro—growth remains resilient, and inflation is hovering near the ECB's 2% target—the threat of new U.S. tariffs has cast a shadow over the optimistic outlook. On the technical side, the euro remains in a structural uptrend, with a pattern of higher highs and higher lows since the start of the year. However, the pair is now approaching a key inflection point. The last significant high was just above 1.18, while a prior support level around 1.16 could become pivotal. If EUR/USD breaks below this region—particularly if it breaches the rising trendline connecting the year's higher lows—it may signal that the bullish trend is faltering. Still, recent price action suggests strong two-way interest. Despite downside pressure, daily closes have often found support near their opening levels, indicating active participation from both buyers and sellers. This suggests that traders are cautious but not panicking—a pullback, not a panic. EUR/USD daily chart: (Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results) What to Watch Next: Market focus will remain on two fronts. First, the evolution of trade policy rhetoric between the U.S. and EU will be crucial. If the 30% tariff threat materializes, it could catalyse a sharper sell-off in EUR/USD. On the other hand, signs of diplomatic progress could lift the euro and reinforce bullish sentiment. Second, U.S. inflation data and labour market trends will influence Fed expectations. Strong data may temper expectations for rate cuts, boosting the dollar. Conversely, any softness could renew downward pressure on the greenback, giving the euro room to recover. For now, the EUR/USD trend remains technically intact, with recent moves resembling a healthy pullback rather than a breakdown. But as we approach key support levels and await further clarity on both trade policy and economic data, traders would do well to stay vigilant. Whether this is a pause or a turning point will soon become clear—and the price will tell the story.

Ukrainians welcome US aid but see Trump's 50-day ultimatum to Putin as too long - War in Ukraine
Ukrainians welcomed U.S. President Donald Trump's pledge of more U.S.-made weapons in their three-year fight against Russia's invasion, though it is unclear what exactly they will get and how quickly. The time frame for the further arms deliveries, which European countries have agreed to pay for, is crucial. Russia is making a summer push to break through along the 1,000-kilometer (620-mile) front line, and its drones and missiles are hammering Ukrainian cities more than at any time in the war. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked Trump for his 'willingness to support Ukraine.' In Kyiv, resident Nina Tokar, 70, said Tuesday that with more US weapons going to Ukraine 'maybe this will all end faster.' However, following Trump's threat late last week to impose major sanctions on Russia for failing to reach a deal to end the fighting, the American president said Monday that Moscow would get 50 days to come to a settlement or face 'very severe' economic sanctions. While some believe strict tariffs on Moscow could be a game changer, the decision to postpone them until September struck some European observers as being too long. Ukrainian officials made no direct comment about the 50-day window, but for Russia, the delay of new sanctions came as a reprieve. Senior Russian lawmaker Konstantin Kosachev commented: 'Oh, how much can change both on the battlefield and with the mood of those leading the US and NATO in 50 days.' Russian President Vladimir Putin hasn't budged when presented with previous US deadlines and threats. In an interview with the BBC broadcast Tuesday, Trump said of Putin: 'I'm disappointed in him, but I'm not done with him.' Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Moscow 'would like to understand what is behind this statement about 50 days,' noting that the Kremlin has offered to continue direct peace talks with Ukraine. 'Earlier, there were also the deadlines of 24 hours and of 100 days,' Lavrov said during an official trip to China. 'We've seen it all and really would like to understand the motivation of the US president.' An assessment published Tuesday by Chatham House noted that 'the exact details of what has been agreed remain hazy.' 'Putin will continue to judge Trump by his actions, not by his words — and so far, there is little enough action to be seen,' the London-based think tank said. Military experts are trying to figure out whether Russian forces could use the window left by Trump to achieve significant territorial gains. Russian troops are slowly ramming through the Ukrainian defenses in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region, the main focus of the Russian offensive. They are also trying to carve out a buffer zone along the border with the northeastern Ukrainian regions of Sumy and Kharkiv. Russia currently holds about 20% of Ukraine. Ukraine's depleted army has recently been losing more territory, but there is no sign of a looming collapse on the front line, analysts say. Zelenskyy said he spoke to Trump after the Republican leader's Oval Office announcement Monday on weapons sales, expressing gratitude for the decision to send more Patriot air defense missiles that are vital to defend Ukrainian cities. 'We discussed … the necessary measures and decisions to provide greater protection for people from Russian attacks and strengthen our positions,' Zelenskyy said on Telegram. 'We agreed to talk more often and coordinate our steps in the future.' Trump and Zelenskyy have had a notoriously fraught relationship, and Washington's consent to providing more weaponry has eased Kyiv's worries. Even so, some Ukrainians felt the US decision won't alter the course of the war. 'If we take the situation as a whole, it hardly looks like this will fundamentally change anything,' Kyiv resident Oles Oliinyk, 33, told The Associated Press. Tokar, the Kyiv resident, was also skeptical. 'I have very little faith in (Trump). He says one thing today, and tomorrow he may say something else.' Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp expressed misgivings about the 50-day delay on sanctions. 'I do believe that the 50 days that Mr Trump has announced is rather long. It's up to September 2. I think that's rather long,' he said in Brussels on Tuesday. Much remains to be worked out about how and when the weapons, especially the Patriot systems, will be provided, Denmark's Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen said. But, in an indication that Europe is relieved that the US hasn't walked away from the conflict, he added: 'The most important thing is that we now have an American readiness to deliver these most needed weapons.' Some European countries, such as Hungary and Slovakia, still rely heavily on Russia for energy supplies and could be hit hard by Trump's threatened secondary sanctions on countries that buy its oil and gas — an effort to isolate Moscow in the global economy. Lithuania's Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys said Trump's 50-day delay was a 'signal for Europe to prepare ourselves, because we still have some member states that are exposed to imports of oil and oil products from Russia.' German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said it remains to be seen whether Trump's announcement will be a turnaround but 'what is decisive is that the tone has changed.' The president's threat to impose sanctions after 50 days is 'significant progress,' Pistorius told ARD television. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:
