Crude oil prices are also down, although still above last week’s lows, reflecting reports that the US government thinks that OPEC has room to expand production. Reports suggest that Chancellor of the Exchequer Zahawi will outline new measures next week making it easier for companies to raise funds in the UK. The rules for the Conservative leader election have been set out. Nominations close today with each candidate requiring at least 20 supporting Conservative MPs. These will be whittled down to two, with party members then choosing the winner to be unveiled on 5th September. Today’s German ZEW survey will provide one of the first indications of economic trends in the Eurozone during July. Of particular interest will be anything it reveals about the impact on confidence from the European Central Bank’s likely interest rate rises in the second half of 2022. The survey may also show some impact from the latest rises in gas prices, although some of last week’s increases may have been too recent to be recorded. Expect today’s report to see a fall in both current conditions and future expectations. This week’s key economic releases for the US are the June CPI (Wed) and retail sales (Fri). Both could have a significant impact on Federal Reserve’s decision about how much to raise interest rates. In contrast, today’s June NFIB small business survey will be seen as less significant but it may supply some useful insights. Already released components showed ongoing problems in filling job vacancies, while wage pressures remain intense. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand is expected to be the latest central bank to raise interest rates. Its update due very early tomorrow is forecast to confirm a third consecutive rate hike of 50 basis points taking rates to 2.50%, 225bp above last year’s lows. Ahead of that, today’s speech from Bank of England Governor Bailey will be watched for clues on the BoE’s next rate move. However, recent experience suggests that he is unlikely to pre-commit. May UK GDP data due early Wednesday is forecast to show the first rise in output in three months. However, that is likely to be due primarily to a statistical distortion rather than to an underlying rebound in activity. The Office for National Statistics does not normally seasonally adjust for one-off events such as the Jubilee. Therefore, the move of the usual late May holiday into June is likely to have boosted output growth and we think that could lead to a rise in May GDP of 0.5%. However, that will be more than offset in June by a negative effect due to the two extra holidays.FX Options Expiring 10am New York Cut EUR/USD: 1.0175-85 (521M), 1.0195-05 (466M) 1.0260-70 (1.19BLN) USD/JPY: 135.00 (565M), 135.55-65 (1.19BLN) 137.60-65 (1.34BLN), 138.00 (355M) EUR/JPY: 137.50 (640M).
