The European Central Bank (ECB) remains on high alert for further rate hikes, preparing for potential increases. While it is highly likely the ECB will temporarily slow the pace of its second round of rate hikes next week, it has not completely ruled out a September increase. Previously, due to a sharp rise in energy prices, the central bank raised borrowing costs in June. At that time, officials stated that peace talks between the US and Iran could mitigate the impact of the conflict on Eurozone prices. However, Greek central bank governor Yannis Stournaras stated that with the current escalation of the conflict and the uncertain future of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, inflation risks have returned to their initial levels. The latest economic data released after the June interest rate decision meeting is insufficient to prompt the central bank to immediately raise rates this Thursday. Currently, oil and gas price trends are largely in line with policymakers' baseline expectations released last month, and the decline in inflation is better than anticipated. Furthermore, the ECB's bank credit survey results, to be released on Tuesday, are unlikely to significantly alter the current policy stance.

The U.S. State Department recently issued a global security alert: Tensions in the Middle East continue to escalate, and the overall security environment remains highly complex, with the potential for the situation to escalate beyond expectations. The State Department urges U.S. citizens around the world, especially those currently in the Middle East, to enhance their security awareness. Currently, all U.S. diplomatic facilities, including those outside the Middle East, are potential targets. Organizations supported by Iran are highly likely to target other U.S. interests overseas, or locations worldwide connected to the U.S. and its citizens.

As of June, nearly 2 million Americans had been unemployed for at least six months. The proportion of job seekers unemployed for six months or more rose to 27.3% of the total unemployed population that month, approaching the highest level since the end of 2021. Currently, several core statistical indicators show an overall positive trend in the US labor market: the US economy has added jobs for four consecutive months, the job market has shown a significant recovery compared to the end of last year, and the unemployment rate has slowly fallen to 4.2%. However, even with this overall positive situation, nearly 2 million Americans have been unemployed for at least six months. Among them, the long-term unemployed group (those unemployed for 27 weeks or more, the longest unemployment category counted in the US Department of Labor's monthly employment report) accounted for 27.3% of the total unemployed population in June, an increase of 4 percentage points compared to the same period last year. This proportion is approaching the peak of the labor market recovery period after the impact of the pandemic at the end of 2021. Long-term unemployment hides many risks; most job seekers lose their severance pay or unemployment benefits after six months of unemployment. According to data released by U.S. federal departments, white-collar workers have the longest unemployment period of all groups, and young adults of working age are particularly hard hit by long-term unemployment.

[US Commercial Bank Deposits Shrink by $74 Billion in a Single Week, Short-Term Volatility Draws Attention] ⑴ Federal Reserve data shows that as of the week ending July 8, US commercial bank deposits fell to approximately $19.36 trillion, a decrease of about $74 billion from the previous week, mainly reflecting short-term fluctuations in the banking system's deposit balance. ⑵ From the perspective of fund flows, the deposit reduction may be related to the fading quarter-end effect, competition among money market funds, and the migration of some funds to higher-yield assets. Specific structural changes need to be assessed in conjunction with data from the following weeks. ⑶ From a market psychology perspective, the marginal decline in deposit size is not yet sufficient to constitute a systemic trend signal. However, given the Fed's maintenance of high interest rates, the persistence of deposit disintermediation pressure remains an important entry point for the market to focus on banking system liquidity. ⑷ Going forward, attention should be paid to whether deposit changes are accompanied by adjustments in large-denomination certificate of deposit rates or changes in commercial bank financing strategies, and whether they have a chain reaction impact on the pace of credit issuance. This will determine the potential significance of this indicator.

The indicator has climbed to 9.6, pushing further into extremely bullish territory. About two months ago, the indicator read 8.0, which typically indicates an overheated market due to crowded bullish positions. Bank of America stated that a reading below the 2.0 threshold would be a buy signal.

01:40:14

A team of Bank of America strategists, led by Michael Hartnett, pointed out that bullish sentiment among participants in asset allocation is currently at an extreme level. This is often a warning signal from the market, suggesting that investors should "reduce equity positions, take profits, or adjust portfolio structure for sector rotation" rather than continue to increase their allocation to risky assets. In a research report released last Friday, Hartnett mentioned that Bank of America's internal "Bull & Bear Indicator," used to measure market sentiment, has triggered a reverse "sell signal." The core reasons for this signal include "a significant decline in institutional cash holdings, strong inflows into the stock market," and the continued broadening of global stock index gains. The indicator has now risen to 9.6, further entering extremely bullish territory. About two months ago, the indicator reading was 8.0, a value that typically indicates the market is overheated due to concentrated bullish positions. According to Bank of America's standards, a buy signal only occurs when the indicator falls below the 2.0 threshold.

Airlines will then gradually resume flight schedules for these aircraft models according to their own operational plans, and passengers will be able to search for and purchase tickets for flights operated by these two aircraft models through normal ticketing channels.

U.S. Treasury futures fell as the yield curve continued its flattening trend, following reports that the U.S. had deployed dozens of additional aerial refueling tankers to Israel ahead of a potential escalation of military action. The decline was concentrated at the front of the yield curve, narrowing the spread between 2-year and 10-year Treasury yields by approximately 3 and 2 basis points respectively, both hitting intraday lows. The 2-year Treasury yield rose about 2 basis points from Thursday's close, while longer-term yields fell slightly. Overnight index swaps (OIS), linked to the Fed's meeting date, showed the market had priced in a 4-basis-point premium for a rate hike at the July meeting, roughly unchanged from earlier in the day; the market expects a cumulative rate hike of about 30 basis points by December, higher than the 27 basis points estimated at Thursday's close.
