[Unexpectedly Cooling Inflation Data Causes Wall Street to Quickly Shift Stance: July Rate Hike Bets Plunge] 1. The latest data from the U.S. Department of Labor shows that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) fell 0.4% month-on-month in June, the largest monthly drop since April 2020 and the first negative month-on-month growth in six years. The year-on-year increase fell to 3.5% from 4.2% in May. The core CPI, excluding food and energy, was flat month-on-month and rose 2.6% year-on-year, both lower than market expectations. The sharp drop in energy prices was the main driver of the overall decline in inflation. 2. The unexpectedly cooling inflation quickly reversed market pricing in the Federal Reserve's policy path. Previously, influenced by hawkish statements from Fed officials and the US-Iran conflict pushing up oil prices, market bets on a rate hike at the July 29 meeting had risen to about 46%. After the data release, the probability of a July rate hike shown in the interest rate swap market plummeted to about 20%. Futures traders have postponed their expected timing for the rate hike to September or even October. 3. The bond market reacted sharply. The yield on the two-year US Treasury note, highly sensitive to monetary policy, plunged as much as 14 basis points to 4.14%, marking its biggest single-day drop since February. US stocks rallied in response, and the dollar weakened against all other major currencies. Zach Griffiths, Head of Investment Grade and Macro Strategy at CreditSights, noted that the June CPI data essentially ruled out a July rate hike. Despite persistently high inflation and a deteriorating situation in the Middle East, the report gave the Federal Reserve more time to observe the situation. Following the data release, Federal Reserve Chairman Warsh reiterated a "zero-tolerance" policy towards persistently high inflation but also affirmed the resilience of the economy.

[Trump Warns of "Dealing" with Iranian Drone Deployment in Cuba, Escalating US-Cuba Tensions] 1. On July 13, US President Trump stated that his administration was investigating claims that Iran was storing drones in Cuba and warned that Washington would take action if such weapons were confirmed to exist on the island. Trump said, "If they really have these drones, we'll deal with it." This followed former Florida Governor Jeb Bush's statement at an event that media reports indicated Tehran had transferred approximately 300 drones to Cuba. 2. Simultaneously, the US Treasury Department added the Cuban Ministry of Tourism and nine other state-owned entities to its sanctions list, including Enetec SA, Coreydan SA, and a foreign trade group involved in fuel imports. These measures build on the sanctions imposed in June on Cuban President Díaz-Canel and his family, as well as the son of former President Raúl Castro, aimed at curbing funding for "paramilitary forces repressing the Cuban people." 3. Washington's sanctions, coupled with the oil embargo, have plunged Cuba into a severe energy crisis. Analysts draw parallels between the current pressure and Washington's previous strategy toward Venezuela—which provided Cuba with substantial subsidized oil before its military intervention to overthrow Maduro. Cuban authorities recently announced 176 economic reforms aimed at expanding the private sector and deregulating businesses to alleviate economic pressures stemming from sanctions and fuel shortages.

[Hot News Recap: Iranian Revolutionary Guard Claims Attacks on US Military Facilities in Bahrain and Kuwait, Strait of Hormuz Shipping Volume Plummets] 1. On July 14, the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) released its tenth report on "Operation Nasr 2," claiming that its naval and air forces, through joint missile and drone strikes, destroyed multiple weapons depots, ships, and aircraft parts at the Sheikh Issa base in Bahrain, and attacked the US MQ-9 drone landing pad at the Ali Salim base in Kuwait, damaging several drones. Iran stated that this operation was retaliation for the US attacks on several coastal bases in southern Iran that afternoon, and warned that if the attacks continued, it would retaliate with a "surprise response." 2. Previously, in this round of operations, the IRGC claimed to have attacked weapons depots, satellite communication centers, US military residences, and Patriot radar and Fifth Fleet air defense radar systems at the Jowfar base in Bahrain, and launched ballistic missile attacks on relevant US air bases in Jordan. These claims have not yet been independently confirmed by the US, Bahrain, or Kuwait authorities. 3. The latest round of conflict has led to a sharp decline in shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. According to PortWatch data from the International Monetary Fund, only 34 ships passed through the strait on July 5, far below the normal daily average of about 88. Kpler data shows that only 14 ships passed through on July 13, of which only 4 were oil tankers, a decrease of about 60% compared to a week earlier. Analysts point out that the US-dominated southern Oman shipping route is almost completely disrupted, with ship owners diverting their vessels to northern Iranian routes or turning off transponders to avoid tracking. 4. Tanker war risk insurance premiums have soared to about eight times pre-crisis levels, and several P&I clubs have completely cancelled coverage. Brent crude oil prices have risen by more than 6% in the past 24 hours due to the latest round of conflict. The US Department of Energy stated that more than 8 million barrels of oil passed through the strait on July 12 with US military assistance, and total crude oil exports from the Gulf region remained at about 15 million barrels per day. Washington is seeking to maintain unimpeded oil shipments even if Iran does not cooperate.
