According to a recent report jointly released by the British Retail Consortium (BRC) and KPMG, UK retail sales grew by 1.9% year-on-year in the five weeks ending July 4. While record-breaking heatwaves impacted foot traffic in physical stores, online sales performed strongly, reaching their highest share since 2026. 2. BRC Chief Executive Helen Dickinson stated that timely promotions drove online spending, while the heatwave boosted sales of cooling products such as fans and air conditioners. Furthermore, the World Cup further boosted sales of home electronics, food, and beverages. 3. The report also noted that the retail sector still faces policy uncertainty risks, and the ongoing impact of the Middle East conflict could further weaken consumer confidence, posing potential pressure on the consumption outlook in the coming months.

[Trump Defines US-Iran Conflict as "Military Conflict," Refuses to Set Timetable for End] 1. US President Trump made his latest statement on Monday regarding the resumption of military action against Iran, defining the current escalating US-Iran confrontation as a "military conflict" and denying that this signifies the conflict is entering a protracted phase. However, he refused to give a specific timetable for how long the fighting will last. 2. Trump told reporters at the White House, "We have to take the actions we are taking now. We have significantly weakened their capabilities, but they will resist for some time." This statement suggests that the US government expects Iran to still possess a certain degree of retaliatory capability. 3. Although the fighting has lasted for more than four months since the joint US-Israel strike on Iran on February 28, far exceeding the initial four-to-six-week timetable set by the US government, Trump continues to downplay the risk of the conflict potentially continuing indefinitely. He compared the current situation to the Vietnam War, saying, "We fought in Vietnam for 19 years. We've only been here for four months, so I think we've done a lot of work." 4. While Trump did not provide a specific plan for ending the war, he insisted that an agreement could eventually be reached with Iran through negotiations, while acknowledging that the possibility of an agreement in the short term is slim.

On July 13, US President Trump made a series of public statements regarding the escalating US-Iran conflict. Speaking about Iran's missile attacks on multiple countries, he stated that Iran "launched missiles at five countries that were completely unaware," and called Tehran "completely unpredictable, just a bunch of lunatics." 2. Trump also mentioned the 2020 US killing of Qassem Soleimani, former commander of the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, stating that "Soleimani was planning to destroy several of our military facilities in Iran," implying the legitimacy of the US strike. 3. When asked by a reporter, "You've been bombing Iran for months, is this going to become the norm?" Trump compared the current situation to the Vietnam War, responding, "We fought in Vietnam for 19 years, and this has only been four months." This statement suggests that the US may be preparing for a protracted response towards Iran, and does not rule out the possibility of a prolonged military operation.

Trump named Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait, stating that the US is maintaining the security of these countries, as well as Israel. He claimed that the US invests funds in the region, so it is appropriate for the protected countries to share the related costs. Trump also stated that the US possesses abundant oil resources, "including oil from Venezuela and other places, the US controls more than half of the world's oil supply," therefore the US itself "does not depend on Middle Eastern oil"—the US's actions in the Middle East are "primarily to protect allies."

Previously, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard claimed to have attacked US military bases in Bahrain and Kuwait in response to US airstrikes. The US military announced a new round of strikes against Iran, targeting air defense systems and radar facilities. The continued escalation of the US-Iran conflict risks a complete disruption of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. 4. This attack marks the expansion of the conflict from military targets to civilian commercial vessels. As a major energy exporter and commercial shipping hub in the Gulf region, the attack on its oil tankers will further exacerbate market concerns about shipping safety in the Strait of Hormuz. International oil prices continued to rise in early trading on Tuesday in response to this news.

[Trump Proposes New Rules for the Strait of Hormuz: 20% Fee on Passing Cargo, Single Supertanker May Have to Pay $30 Million] 1. US President Trump announced on July 13th that the US would reinstate its maritime blockade against Iran and become the "guardian of the Strait of Hormuz" effective immediately. He stated that, based on the principle of fairness, the US would charge a 20% fee on all cargo transported through the strait to compensate for the costs of maintaining security in this volatile region. 2. Trump posted on the social media platform "Real Social" that the Strait of Hormuz is currently open and will remain open, regardless of Iran's participation. He emphasized that the blockade "only targets Iranian ships or customers, restricting their access to the strait," and that other countries can use the strait fairly and openly. 3. Based on the current oil price of approximately $80 per barrel, a supertanker carrying 2 million barrels of crude oil has a total cargo value of approximately $150 million, and a 20% fee would amount to approximately $30 million. In comparison, Iran previously imposed a temporary fee of up to $2 million per voyage. 4. In an interview with Fox News, Trump stated, "We will hold the Strait, and very likely we will control it. We will be the guardians of the Strait and should be compensated for it." He also threatened that if Iran did not comply, the United States would "very severely punish them." 5. Iran responded swiftly. A spokesperson for the Khatham Anbia Central Headquarters of the Iranian Armed Forces stated that it would not allow the United States to interfere in the administration of the Strait of Hormuz and warned that it would strongly retaliate against any unauthorized interference by the US military in the passage of merchant ships.

[Reserve Bank of New Zealand Chief Economist: Middle East Conflict Complicates Policy, Measures to be Taken If Necessary] 1. Reserve Bank of New Zealand Chief Economist Conway stated that the Middle East conflict, like all supply shocks, complicates monetary policy. Although oil prices have fallen somewhat, the impact of this shock will continue to ripple through the economy for some time. 2. Conway emphasized that monetary policy can prevent the first round of price effects from evolving into a second round of inflationary pressures, but understanding how businesses respond to cost shocks is the core foundation for maintaining low and stable inflation. However, spare capacity in the economy should help limit further transmission of inflation. 3. Regarding inflation expectations, Conway said it is encouraging that medium-term inflation expectations remain well anchored. However, if the inflationary pressures triggered by the Middle East conflict persist stronger than expected, the central bank will take measures, and may need to further reduce monetary stimulus.

Traders estimate that if Warsh were to lead the Federal Reserve, there would be approximately a 50% probability of a rate hike this month. The trading community generally believes that the likelihood of a US rate hike later this month is nearly 50/50, as rising oil prices and hawkish statements from Fed officials suggest the Fed is likely to act quickly to curb rising inflation. Monday's currency market pricing data showed that after the US launched multiple new strikes against Iran, traders further increased their bets on a 25 basis point rate hike in July; current pricing reflects a near 50% probability of a rate hike, up from less than 40% earlier in the day. This change followed comments from Fed Governor Christopher Warsh, who indicated that if core inflation continues to show signs of spreading price pressures, policymakers may need to initiate rate hikes.

US President Donald Trump stated on Monday that the United States would destroy Iran's Kashmiri nuclear facility, while warning that Washington would continue to take strong action against Iran. In a media interview, Trump said, "We will destroy Kashmiri and tell Iran to be prepared." He added, "We are currently monitoring the area closely and have not detected any unusual activity. Iran's nuclear program is not progressing smoothly, and every time we learn of related developments, we take action to destroy the relevant facilities. Therefore, they are reluctant to discuss the matter, and we are very likely to take action against Kashmiri soon." Kashmiri is located near Iran's severely damaged Natanz uranium enrichment facility and is a core facility with extremely high security levels, containing two sets of deeply buried underground tunnel complexes. According to experts in related fields, even the most powerful bunker-buster munitions in the US arsenal would have difficulty effectively striking these underground targets.

Trump stated that the Iran nuclear deal was a test, and that Iran had not adhered to its terms. It should be noted that there is widespread consensus in the international community regarding the implementation of the Iran nuclear deal.

The root cause of the renewed tension surrounding the Iran nuclear issue lies in the US's unilateral withdrawal from the agreement and its maximum pressure campaign against Iran.

04:14:10

The U.S. Department of Defense has temporarily suspended the cybersecurity-related rules for the second phase of its Cybersecurity Maturity Model (CMM) certification program. The official reason given is that a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have opted out of the program. The Department of Defense originally launched the certification system to establish unified cybersecurity standards for various companies participating in the defense supply chain, preventing risks such as cyberattacks and data breaches to defense-related data during supply chain transactions. However, the current setback in implementing the second phase reflects the heavy operational burden that the compliance requirements place on smaller businesses with limited cybersecurity budgets. The Department of Defense will likely adjust the rules to better suit the specific circumstances of these smaller businesses, balancing security requirements with their operational pressures before resuming the certification process.

This adjustment represents a phased review of the U.S. Department of Defense's cybersecurity management system for the defense supply chain, and the subsequent review results may impact the qualification process for relevant defense suppliers.
