[Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce: Canada's GDP situation is likely to reverse in the second quarter] Statistics Canada said that early indicators showed that GDP grew by 0.1% month-on-month in June, which means that GDP will be flat in the second quarter. On the surface, this is much better than the Bank of Canada's expectation of a 1.5% annualized decline. However, Statistics Canada's monthly GDP data is based on industry output, while the quarterly GDP report takes into account spending and investment. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce Capital Markets pointed out that spending data in the first quarter was much stronger than industry data, resulting in an unexpected 2.2% increase in GDP. "It is very likely that the situation in the second quarter will reverse," said Andrew Grantham, an economist at Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. Research from the Bank of Canada shows that trade uncertainty has prompted companies to limit business investment, and consumers are also cautious about spending plans. (Dow Jones)

[Capital Economics: Canada's GDP may improve in the third quarter] Canada's monthly GDP data suggests that the economy may improve in the third quarter following a rebound in June. Official data showed that GDP fell by 0.1% in May, following a similar decline in the previous month. However, Statistics Canada estimated that GDP by sector grew by 0.1% in June, which means that GDP (excluding investment and spending) in the second quarter will fall by an annualized rate of 0.2%. Capital Economics said that the decline in May can be attributed to some temporary factors, such as the upgrading of refineries in the energy sector. Spending by the public administration sector declined, which was a return to the economic growth driven by the election in April. When discussing third-quarter GDP, Capital Economics said that although GDP may have contracted in the second quarter, "we do not expect the same situation to occur this quarter." (Dow Jones)

[UBS: The current rise in the US dollar may reflect a short-term position adjustment] UBS Global Wealth Management analysts said in a report that the current rise in the US dollar may reflect a short-term position adjustment rather than a reversal of the recent weak trend. They said that investors may close their short positions on the US dollar before the Federal Reserve meeting on Wednesday because the Fed kept interest rates unchanged. "Once the Fed hints that it is ready to resume rate cuts in the coming months, the US dollar should continue to weaken." This view depends on the market's expectation that US economic growth will slow further in the second half of the year compared with the first half. UBS expects the euro to rise to $1.20 against the US dollar later this year. Data from the London Stock Exchange showed that the euro rose 0.3% to $1.1443 against the US dollar, after hitting a seven-week low of $1.1399 on Wednesday. (Dow Jones)

Bank of America said that the UK economy is weakening and unemployment is rising, which increases the possibility of an interest rate cut in August. Data from the London Stock Exchange shows that the market expects the Bank of England to cut interest rates next week with an 82% probability. (Dow Jones)

[Latest US labor and inflation data supports the Fed's decision to keep interest rates unchanged] The latest US labor and inflation data support the Federal Reserve's decision to keep interest rates unchanged, but US Treasury yields are struggling to recover from their overnight decline. The 12-month personal consumption expenditures (PCE) inflation rate accelerated to 2.6% in June from 2.4% in May. Initial jobless claims rose from 217,000 to 218,000 that week. In other words, inflation remains above target, and employment has not fallen significantly. The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady yesterday, as expected. Chairman Powell stated that data will determine the Fed's next decision in September. Data from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) indicates a 61% probability of another rate hold. The 10-year Treasury yield is 4.347%, and the 2-year Treasury yield is 3.938%. (Dow Jones)

[Dollar rises to two-month high as Fed's preferred inflation gauge exceeds expectations] The dollar rose to a two-month high as the Fed's preferred inflation gauge exceeded expectations and the number of initial jobless claims in the United States fell short of expectations. The core personal consumption expenditures price index rose 2.8% year-on-year in June, above the 2.7% expected by economists in a Wall Street Journal survey. The data for May was revised up to 2.8% from the previous 2.7%. Initial jobless claims rose by 1,000 to 218,000 last week, below the expected 222,000. This followed stronger-than-expected U.S. private sector employment data and second-quarter economic growth data released on Wednesday, which further supported the Fed's view of caution on interest rate cuts.

In early July, US President Trump said he would impose a 50% tariff on Brazilian exports, citing "political persecution" against Lula's right-wing rival, former President Jair Bolsonaro. The Lula government hit back, calling Trump an unwelcome "emperor" and calling the sanctions "unacceptable." An AtlasIntel/Bloomberg poll shows Lula's approval rating at 50.2%, up from 49.7% two weeks ago. This marks the first time since October that Lula's approval rating has surpassed his disapproval rating.

[ANZ: Crude oil inventories are expected to increase significantly later this year] ANZ analysts said that due to continued sluggish demand growth and signs of slowing gasoline consumption in the United States, oil market fundamentals indicate that OPEC+ has limited room to increase production to the market. According to the company, OPEC+ is expected to approve a production increase of 500,000 barrels per day in September, thus completing the lifting of voluntary production cuts. "This should not be a problem at present," said analysts Daniel Hynes and Soni Kumari. "Currently, inventories in major markets are flat or slightly lower than the same period last year." However, ANZ still expects inventories to increase significantly later this year and estimates that the supply surplus will reach 1.74 million barrels per day in the fourth quarter. (Dow Jones)

Oil prices fell after three days of gains. Oil prices fell after three days of gains, driven by a series of trade deals reached by the United States before Friday's tariff deadline and the threat of sanctions against Russia and its oil buyers.

WTI crude fell 0.7% to $69.53 a barrel. September Brent crude fell 0.8% to $72.68 a barrel. (Dow Jones)

However, the Modi government has also drawn red lines—particularly regarding market access for agricultural and dairy products, where US demands for access to genetically modified crops continue to face political resistance.

Trump's tariffs on India interrupt trade talks, casting a shadow over US-India relations. Trump's announcement of an additional 25% tariff on Indian imports, a sudden and unexpected decision, not only interrupted ongoing trade negotiations but also triggered significant market volatility. Several Indian officials only learned of the move when reporters sought comment. Analysts pointed out that while Trump left room for reaching an agreement before August 1, his accompanying statement—accusing India of participating in the BRICS mechanism and purchasing Russian oil—cast a shadow over what should have been a deepening US-India relationship. "Our trade with India is pathetically small," Trump tweeted. "Their trade barriers are among the highest in the world."

Eli Lilly's Mounjaro is as effective as older drugs in reducing heart disease risk. A trial of Eli Lilly's diabetes drug, Mounjaro, failed to meet expectations and failed to show it was superior to its older drug, Trulicity, in preventing heart attacks and strokes. The results provided by Eli Lilly and Company showed that Mounjaro was effective in reducing the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and cardiovascular death, but was not significantly better than Trulicity. Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Michael Shah stated, "The trial results did not mention superiority, which Eli Lilly also tested," and that the results "are likely not accepted by the market."

The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) predicts that tariff-related price increases may begin to take effect by the end of the third quarter, as businesses may have already cleared out US inventories accumulated before the new tariffs were implemented. This year, manufacturers of everything from autos to pharmaceuticals, cheese, and wine have accelerated deliveries to the US to get ahead of US President Trump's tariffs. Andrew Wilson, Deputy Secretary-General of the ICC, estimated on Thursday that businesses have about four months of inventory, about a month more than average, which has somewhat delayed price increases. "You can expect problems to emerge by the end of the third quarter," he said. Wilson had previously predicted that tariff-related price increases would be reflected in US inflation in the fourth quarter or early next year. US data released on Thursday showed an increase in inflation in June as tariffs began to push up the cost of some goods, supporting analysts' expectations of intensified price pressures in the second half of the year.

He stated that US companies have not yet truly begun to return to the Russian market, so "nothing can be suspended." Peskov acknowledged that current Russian-US trade is indeed close to zero, but said "this situation does not have to remain this way."

[New Orders Grow Sharply, Chicago Business Activity Recovers Stronger Than Expected] Institutional analysis shows that business activity in the Chicago region continued to contract this month, but the pace of contraction slowed significantly, suggesting the US economy remains resilient despite ongoing tariff uncertainty and high inflation. A survey released Thursday showed that the Chicago Business Barometer jumped from 40.4 in June to 47.1 in July, significantly exceeding expectations for 41.7. Despite the improvement, the largest monthly increase in over a year, the index remains below 50, indicating that economic activity remains in contractionary territory. The Chicago Business Barometer last crossed 50 at the end of 2023. This month's rebound in business activity was primarily driven by a sharp increase in new orders, which reached their highest level in more than three years, indicating continued strong demand in the region. However, other sub-indicators offered less optimistic results, with employment remaining stable and prices paid declining.

UBS Analysts: Swiss Franc Expected to Fall Against the Euro] UBS Global Wealth Management analysts said in a report that the Swiss franc is likely to fall against the euro as investors seek more favorable yields in the eurozone and growth prospects improve next year. They said that the European Central Bank was cautious about cutting interest rates at its meeting last week, and the Swiss franc's strength will ultimately be curbed by interest rate differentials that favor the euro. "At the same time, there has been little news about a possible trade agreement between the United States and Switzerland, but any progress would be significant for the Swiss franc." UBS predicts that the euro will reach 0.94 against the Swiss franc by the end of the year.
