Global developments<\/span><\/b><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>:<\/span><\/b><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>\u00a0<\/b><\/a>EU-US trade deal and India- US trade deal will be in focus ahead of Aug 1 st deadline. US has concluded trade deal with Japan.\u00a0<\/span><\/b>U.S.-Japan goods trade is worth about $227 billion, so a trade deal is certainly\u00a0<\/b>significant<\/span><\/b>. Imports from Japan ($148.4 billion last year) will now face a 15% so-called reciprocal tariff, which is lower than the 25%<\/b>\u00a0imposed earlier.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/b>Tariff talks, Fed meeting and US employment data are focus events for the week. US PCE data will also be in focus for Sept rate cut decision. US is yet to conclude deals with China, EU, Mexico and Canada.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

ECB held rates steady at 2% and ECB Chairperson delivered optimistic comments. She said that inflation is at 2% and the economy is evolving in a \u201crelatively favorable\u201d manner.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0She also reiterated that the ECB will continue to rely on a broad set of economic data in shaping its policy, not individual datapoints. That suggests a steady hand into the September meeting, when updated economic projections could guide the next move.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

UK economy showed signs of losing momentum in July, with Composite PMI falling from 52.0 to 51.0.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

EU<\/span><\/b>\u00a0Composite PMI climbed from 50.6 to 51.0\u2014its highest level in 11 months.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

USD is still on the backfoot. Fed is likely to remain on hold in July meeting, despite pressure from US President. US President has backed from his threat to remove Fed Chairman. However, the relationship can again turn sour after July meeting. Though US President has said that he will not remove Fed Chairman, he could quickly change his stance. USD could decline either due to rate cut or due to US President\u2019s action on Fed Chairman.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
