European shares close higher after ECB leaves rates unchanged
FRANKFURT: European stocks closed higher on Thursday after the European Central Bank held interest rates steady as expected, while investors cheered strong earnings from major banks and easing trade tensions with the United States. The pan-European STOXX 600 index finished the session 0.2% higher, having earlier touched a six-week high. Stocks pulled back from their peaks as investors recalibrated their expectations for future monetary easing after ECB President Christine Lagarde said policymakers were more keen on the outlook on trade and its impact on the economy before deciding on further interest rate cuts. Interest rate futures markets reflected this shift in sentiment, with traders scaling back bets on a September rate cut. The yield on the 2-year German bond also spiked, and weighed on equity markets. 'At 2%, rates remain squarely to the middle of the ECB's 1.5% to 2.5% neutral range. Uncertainty is highly elevated, however, and, if trade tensions escalate, further easing may well be required later in the year to help support business and consumer confidence,' said Marchel Alexandrovich, an economist at Saltmarsh Economics. The central bank's cautious stance comes as eurozone inflation has returned to the ECB's 2% target alongside signs of economic resilience. Still, sentiment was largely buoyant on expectations of a US-EU trade deal after the European Commission said that an agreement was within reach, where tariffs on European exports to the US would likely settle down at 15% from a harsher 30% levy planned from August 1. In a busy day for corporate results, banks were in a bright spot after second-quarter profit beats from Deutsche Bank and BNP Paribas. German lender Deutsche Bank jumped 9.1%, while French bank BNP Paribas added 0.4% after a near 3% jump earlier in the day. The eurozone banks index touched its highest since 2008. Reckitt raised its annual revenue forecast after the consumer goods company's second-quarter net sales growth topped expectations, sending shares soaring 10%. Cooling trade tensions have lifted the STOXX 600 about 18% from its lows in April after US President Donald Trump slapped steep tariffs on its trading partners. The index still remains about 2% away from its March historic high.

Gold up Rs3,700/tola despite global dip
Listen to article Gold prices in Pakistan surged on Wednesday, bucking the global trend where prices eased following a US-Japan trade agreement that calmed investor nerves. Meanwhile, silver prices soared to the highest level since September 2011, driven by strong industrial demand and supply constraints. According to the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association, the price of gold per tola rose Rs3,700 to reach Rs364,900 in the local market. Similarly, the rate for 10 grams of gold climbed Rs3,171 to Rs312,842. In contrast, international gold markets dipped as easing geopolitical tensions shifted sentiment away from safe-haven assets. Spot gold was down 0.6% at $3,412.03 per ounce, as of 1351 GMT, after hitting its highest point since June 16 earlier in the session. Spot silver rose 0.2% to $39.35 per ounce, a near 14-year peak. Commenting on the trend, Interactive Commodities Director Adnan Agar noted, "Gold hit a high of $3,438 and low of $3,405, with the market later positioning around $3,415. The recent rally has seen gold rise by nearly $100, prompting a potential correction phase." He added that a strong resistance level was between $3,450 and $3,455. Meanwhile, the Pakistani rupee appreciated against the US dollar, rising 0.07% in the inter-bank market. By the end of trading, the rupee closed at 284.76, up 21 paisa compared to Tuesday's close at 284.97. Furthermore, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) raised Rs545.16 billion through two debt auctions on Wednesday, including an outright purchase of Ijara Sukuk and the sale of Market Treasury Bills (MTBs), with settlement the following day.
