Eurozone Inflation Rate Rises Unexpectedly London, 31 July 2024 Preliminary estimates showed that the annual inflation rate in the Euro Area surprisingly increased from 2.5% in June to 2.6% in July 2024, defying expectations that it would decline to 2.4%. Energy prices grew by 1.3%, significantly more than the 0.2% increase in June. The cost of industrial goods that are not energy-related increased at a faster rate (0.8% vs. 0.7%). But, for the first time in three months, inflation decreased for services (4% vs. 4.1%), and for food, drink, and tobacco (2.3% vs. 2.4%). Inflation decreased to 2.7% from 2.8% when energy was excluded. In contrast to projections of 2.8%, the core rate—which does not include the cost of food, energy, alcohol, or tobacco—remained stable at 2.9%. Among the biggest economies in the union, inflation decreased in Spain (2.9% vs 3.6%), but increased in Germany (2.6% vs 2.5%), France (2.6% vs 2.5%), and Italy (1.7% vs 0.9%). Forecast In July 2024, the Euro Area's inflation rate rose from 2.50 percent in June to 2.60 percent. By the end of this quarter, the Euro Area's inflation rate is predicted by Trading Economics global macro models and analysts to be 2.20 percent. Our econometric models predict that in 2025, the Euro Area Inflation Rate will likely hover around 2.10 percent. (Source: Trading Economics)

Fed Towards Rate Cut London, 31 July 2024 For the eighth consecutive meeting in July 2024, the Federal Reserve is expected to keep the federal funds rate at a 23-year high of 5.25%–5.50%. However, in light of weakening labour market activity and indications of declining inflation, authorities are likely to provide a critical hint that they may cut borrowing costs in the upcoming months. June saw a three-year low for the core rate and a decline in annual headline inflation to 3%, the lowest since June 2023. Additionally, the yearly PCE rate dropped from 2.6% to 2.5%. The central bank's favoured inflation indicator, the core PCE rate, stayed significantly below its high in 2022, at 2.6%. In addition, payroll growth is decreasing, layoffs are increasing, and the unemployment rate is at a record-high of 4.1% from 2021. Forecast The US benchmark interest rate was 5.50 percent as of the most recent record. The global macro models and analysts at Trading Economics predict that by the end of this quarter, the interest rate in the United States will be 5.50 percent. Our econometric models predict that, over the long run, the US Federal Funds Interest Rate will tend towards 4.25 percent in 2025 and 3.25 percent in 2026. (Source: Trading Economics)

Bank of Japan Raises Key Rate to 0.25% London, 31 July 2024 The Bank of Japan (BoJ) raised its key short-term interest rate at its July 2024 meeting to around 0.25% from the prior range of 0 to 0.1% it set in March. Picture by: Wikimedia The central bank added it would reduce the monthly bond-buying to JPY 3 trillion in January-March 2026 from the current pace of around JPY 6 trillion to pursue a more normal monetary policy. Starting August, the BoJ will offer to buy JPY 400 billion of 5 and 10-year JGBs at each of its operations, removing the ongoing offer range of JPY 400-550 billion. The changes are part of the central bank's plan to lower its almost USD 5 trillion balance sheet and slowly retreat from the bond market. The BoJ predicted in a quarterly outlook that core inflation for FY 2024 would be less than April's estimates of 2.8%, likely falling around 2.5%. About 2% will be the amount for FY25 and FY26. In terms of GDP, officials revised down their estimate of growth to 0.6% from 0.8% in 2024 based on statistical evidence. The bank kept its GDP forecast for FY25 and FY26 at 1.0%. Forecast The Japanese benchmark interest rate was last observed to be 0.25 percent. By the conclusion of this quarter, analysts and Trading Economics global macro models predict that Japan's interest rate will be 0.25 percent. Our econometric models predict that the Japan Interest Rate will trend at 0.40 percent in 2025 and 0.60 percent in 2026 over the long run. (Source: Trading Economics)

The Impact of Brexit on Global Trade London, 23 July 2024 Brexit, the highly debated and monumental decision, has reverberated across the globe since the United Kingdom's decision to withdraw from the European Union. As investors navigating the complex web of global trade, understanding the ripple effects of Brexit is crucial in making informed decisions and strategic moves in this ever-evolving economic landscape. We shall attempt to examine the impact of Brexit on global trade, exploring the challenges, opportunities, and shifts that have emerged in its wake.

The decision, fuelled by nationalistic sentiments and dissatisfaction with EU regulations, sent shockwaves through financial markets and trade partnerships. As the UK sought to redefine its economic and trade policies, the implications of this decision transcended borders, affecting nations far beyond Europe.

The UK found itself at a crossroads, needing to establish new trade pacts with countries previously covered under EU agreements. This process was intricate, time-consuming, and required careful negotiation to ensure the continuity of vital trade channels. The shift in trade agreements brought both challenges and opportunities as nations sought to realign their economic strategies.

What Does The Assassination Attempt of Former US President Trump Mean for The November US Elections? London 17 July 2024 Written by: By Angelos Tsigkopoulos Founder & CEO, Diorasis Group Publisher, The Decision Maker magazine Keynote Speaker at The International Negotiations Conference, NegotiCON 2025 Following the assassination attempt of former US President and candidate for the presidency for the second time in November 2024, a lot of discussion about the impact this could have on the coming US elections in November 2024. I am looking into the parameters for you. Trump's re-election chances and the potential consequences for US foreign relations. Does this assassination attempt add points to Donald Trump's re-election? While it is difficult to predict the exact impact of this assassination attempt on Trump's re-election prospects, it is clear that such a high-profile event could potentially generate sympathy and rally support for the former President. In the past, political figures who have faced assassination attempts have often seen a surge in popularity. However, it is important to note that the dynamics of the US political landscape are complex, and many other factors will also come into play in determining the outcome of the November elections. What will a possible Trump re-election mean for the relations of the US with the EU, Turkey, the Middle East and will he insist on the 2% threshold for the member-countries of the NATO? If Trump is re-elected, it is likely that his approach to foreign relations will continue to be characterized by his "America First" agenda. This could lead to tensions with traditional US allies in Europe and the Middle East, as Trump has shown a willingness to challenge long-standing alliances and agreements. Furthermore, his insistence on NATO member-countries meeting the 2% threshold for defence spending could strain relations with countries like Turkey, which have been reluctant to meet this requirement. Will he provide an alternative to the woke agenda? Throughout his presidency, Trump has been a vocal critic of the so-called "woke agenda", which he sees as promoting political correctness and stifling free speech. If re-elected, it is likely that Trump will continue to push back against these cultural trends and offer an alternative vision for American society. How realistic is the end of the war in Ukraine if he is re-elected? Will his good relationship with President Putin play a role? I have been saying for a long time after former President Trump stated that if re-elected, he would end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours, that this is my favourite part! Trump's relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin has been a subject of much controversy during his time in office. If re-elected, Trump's close ties to Putin could potentially play a role in efforts to end the war in Ukraine. However, it is important to note that the conflict in Ukraine is complex and involves multiple parties, making a resolution challenging. What will the US stance be in the Israel-Hamas war, under Trump's leadership if re-elected in November 2024? Under Trump's leadership, the US has taken a strong pro-Israel stance in the Israel-Hamas conflict. If re-elected, it is likely that Trump will continue to support Israel and take a hardline approach towards Hamas. This could further escalate tensions in the region and complicate efforts to achieve a lasting peace agreement. The assassination attempt on former US President Trump has raised a host of questions about the potential implications for the November elections and US foreign relations. While it is unclear how this event will ultimately impact Trump's re-election chances, it is clear that his leadership style and approach to key issues will continue to shape the political landscape in the months and years to come.

UK Inflation Remains at 2% London, 17 July 2024 Even though projections pointed to 1.9%, the UK's annual inflation rate remained stable in June 2024 at 2%, the same as it was in May and holding at 2021 lows. In comparison to 5.8%, the cost of meals and lodging—primarily hotel prices—accounted for the highest increasing contribution. Additionally, the cost of transportation increased more quickly (0.9% vs.0.5%); this was primarily due to the cost of air travel, maintenance, and repairs for personal transportation equipment. Between May and June 2024, the average cost of gasoline decreased by 3.0 pence per litre, rising from 143.0 pence per litre in June 2023 to 145.8 pence per litre. Conversely, the biggest decline was caused by footwear and apparel (1.6% vs. 3%), primarily clothing. Food and non-alcoholic drink inflation also decreased (1.5%, lowest since October 2021 against 1.7%), especially for bread and cereals, pork, and fruit. As services (5.7%) and recreation and culture (3.9%) saw stable inflation, housing and utility prices (-4.7% vs. -4.8%) continued to decline. Stats In June, the United Kingdom's inflation rate of 2 percent did not alter. From 1989 to 2024, the UK's inflation rate averaged 2.83 percent; it peaked in October 2022 at 11.10 percent and fell to a record low of -0.10 percent in April 2015.

London, 11 July 2024 In the ever-evolving landscape of international relations, the outcome of the French Parliamentary elections holds significant importance not only for France but for the rest of Europe and the world. The decisions made by the new government will have far-reaching implications on various global issues, including the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the delicate balance of power within the European Union and NATO. Importance of the French Elections The French elections play a crucial role in shaping the political direction of not just France but also the broader European Union. As one of the founding members of the EU, France's policies and decisions often have a domino effect on other member states, influencing the overall direction of the union. The election results will determine the country's stance on key issues such as immigration, security, trade, and foreign policy – all of which have implications beyond its borders. Support to Ukraine and Sending Troops One of the pressing issues on the international agenda is the conflict in Ukraine. France has been a strong supporter of Ukraine and has called for a peaceful resolution to the crisis. However, there have been debates within the country about sending French troops to support Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression. The outcome of the elections will determine whether the new government will continue to advocate for increased support to Ukraine, including the possibility of sending troops. Impact on Germany, USA, NATO, and Other EU Countries The potential decision to send French troops to Ukraine will have ripple effects across the international community. Germany, France's main partner in the EU, may have differing opinions on the matter, as the two countries often have diverging interests and priorities. The United States, a key ally of both France and Ukraine, will be closely watching the developments and may play a significant role in shaping the outcome. NATO, the transatlantic military alliance, will also be impacted by France's decision regarding Ukraine. As a founding member of NATO, France's actions can influence the organization's stance on the crisis and may lead to increased tensions with Russia. Other EU countries, especially those in Eastern Europe, will be looking to France for leadership and support in dealing with the conflict in Ukraine. The French Parliamentary elections hold immense significance for the international relations landscape. The decisions made by the new government will not only shape France's future but also impact the rest of Europe and the world. The support to Ukraine and the potential deployment of French troops will be closely monitored by key players such as Germany, the United States, NATO, and other EU countries. The outcome of the elections will set the tone for France's foreign policy and its role in addressing global challenges. As the world watches closely, the stakes are high, and the implications are far-reaching. It remains to be seen how France's decisions will shape the future of international relations.

Elections in the UK: A Labour Victory or a Conservatives Defeat? London, 9 July 2024 Written by: By Angelos Tsigkopoulos Founder & CEO, Diorasis Group Publisher, The Decision Maker magazine Keynote Speaker at The International Negotiations Conference, NegotiCON 2025 I live in London since 1997 and since then, I have witnessed eight general elections in the UK. None of them made such a thundering "noise". In the 4th of July elections, the Labour Party emerged victorious, causing a major upset for the Conservatives. This unexpected turn of events has raised questions about the future direction of the country and its relationship with the European Union. What does the victory of the Labour Party say for the future of the UK? The implications of a Labour victory The Labour Party's victory in the UK elections has significant implications for the country's future. The party has pledged to focus on issues such as healthcare, education, and social welfare, which are seen as key priorities for many voters. This shift in priorities could lead to a more equitable society, with a greater focus on addressing social inequalities. Additionally, the Labour Party has been vocal in its support for remaining in the European Union. This stance is in stark contrast to the Conservatives, who have advocated for Brexit. The victory of the Labour Party raises the possibility of a second referendum on Brexit, which could potentially lead to the UK remaining in the EU. Is a return to the EU possible? With the Labour Party's victory in the UK elections, there is a possibility of a return to the European Union. The party has promised to negotiate a new deal with the EU and put it to a public vote. This could potentially result in the UK reversing its decision to leave the EU and remaining a member of the union. Labour's Relationship with European countries The Labour Party's victory in the UK elections could have implications for its relationship with other European countries. In particular, the party's stance on issues such as immigration and trade could impact its relations with European leaders who have espoused more conservative and nationalist views. Will the ideological differences prove a constraint for the developing of healthy relations with these European leaders? It remains to be seen how the Labour Party will navigate these ideological differences and build constructive relationships with European leaders. However, the party's commitment to international cooperation and diplomacy could help bridge the gap and foster positive relations with European countries. The Labour Party's victory in the UK elections has raised important questions about the future direction of the country and its relationship with the European Union. The party's pledge to address social inequalities and focus on remaining in the EU could have far-reaching implications for the UK's future. As the new government takes office, all eyes will be on how it navigates these challenges and shapes the future of the country.

Margin Call London, 9 July 2024 Written by: By Angelos Tsigkopoulos Founder & CEO, Diorasis Group Publisher, The Decision Maker magazine Keynote Speaker at The International Negotiations Conference, NegotiCON 2025 I was watching the film, "Margin Call", the other day (for the 10th time I guess) and Lehman Brothers came directly in my mind. I thought that, nothing is the same after the Lehman Brothers collapse in September 2008; it is not just the global financial crisis that broke out but also the end of the myth, "too big to fail". I therefore decided to highlight how real-time financial events, in the fast-paced world of global finance, where every decision can reverberate across economies and industries, shape our economic reality. The Butterfly Effect of Financial Markets Just like the flap of a butterfly's wings can cause a ripple effect across continents, a financial event in one corner of the world can trigger a chain reaction that resonates globally. Whether it's a central bank's interest rate decision, geopolitical tensions impacting commodities, or a tech giant's earnings report, each piece of news has the power to sway markets and influence investment strategies. Riding the Waves of Market Volatility Volatility is the heartbeat of financial markets, reflecting the ebbs and flows of investor sentiment. Professionals adept at interpreting market volatility can capitalize on opportunities or mitigate risks in real time. As the market landscape shifts in response to news events, agility and foresight become invaluable assets in navigating turbulent waters. The Dance of Currencies: Forex in the Spotlight The foreign exchange market is a cauldron of activity where currencies jostle for position based on economic indicators, political developments, and market sentiment. Professionals engaged in forex trading are acutely aware of how real-time financial events, from employment reports to trade tariffs, can sway currency valuations and drive market movements. From Wall Street to Main Street: Impact on Everyday Lives While financial events may seem distant and esoteric to the layperson, their impact trickles down to everyday life in subtle yet significant ways. A surge in oil prices can translate to higher gas costs for consumers, while a stock market rally can boost retirement portfolios. Professionals attuned to the pulse of financial markets are better equipped to anticipate these shifts and adapt their financial planning accordingly. It's Not All Numbers: The Human Element in Financial Events Behind every market chart and economic indicator lies a human story. Real-time financial events can unravel tales of innovation, resilience, and occasionally, greed. Professionals in the finance industry must balance analytical acumen with an understanding of human behaviour to navigate the complexities of global finance successfully. Navigating Uncertainty with Data and Analysis In an era inundated with information, discerning the signal from the noise is a skill honed by professionals immersed in financial markets. The ability to parse through real-time data, apply sophisticated analysis techniques, and make informed decisions swiftly separates the amateurs from the seasoned experts in the world of finance. Embracing the Future: Technology's Role in Real-Time Finance As technology continues to disrupt traditional financial models, professionals are leveraging AI algorithms, high-frequency trading, and blockchain innovations to stay ahead of the curve. Real-time financial events are now processed at lightning speed, thanks to technological advancements that have revolutionized the way we interact with markets. Riding the Wave of Financial Evolution The real-time impact of global financial events transcends mere numbers on a screen, shaping economies, industries, and livelihoods worldwide. For professionals immersed in the world of finance, staying abreast of unfolding events, analysing their implications, and adapting strategies in real time are the keys to success in an ever-evolving financial landscape. So, as you navigate the intricate dance of financial markets, remember that behind every market fluctuation lies an opportunity waiting to be seized or a risk to be mitigated. And that ladies and gents, is the reality of the financial markets.
