Headline inflation also picked up from 1.5% yoy to 1.7% yoy. The figures point to firmer price pressures ahead of next week’s Bank of Japan policy meeting, though both measures remained below the […] The post Japan Core CPI Picks Up to 1.6% in June, but Underlying Inflation Remains Contained appeared first on ActionForex.

Cliff Notes: Markets on Edge
Key insights from the week that was. The June Labour Force Survey offered both noise and signal. Employment surprised materially to the upside, rising 76.3k in the month. However, the gain was matched by a sizeable lift in labour supply, the participation rate bouncing 0.3ppts to 67.0%, a 13-month high. The ABS noted in the […] The post Cliff Notes: Markets on Edge appeared first on ActionForex.

The ECB kept policy rates unchanged at the July meeting, with the deposit rate at 2.25%, in line with consensus and market pricing.

We expect a final 25bp hike in September, bringing the deposit rate […] The post ECB Review – Back to the Baseline appeared first on ActionForex.
Trump Administration Eyes Offshore Nuclear to Power AI Boom
The Trump administration is studying the deployment of offshore nuclear power generation, with the Marine Minerals Administration and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission agreeing this week to coordinate on any future developments. The announcement comes amid surging electricity demand driven by Big Tech. “Submerged reactor systems have been safely deployed in naval applications for decades, demonstrating their potential as a reliable source of energy in demanding marine environments. While no...
OPEC+ Set to Raise Output Again-Even as Members Can't Pump It
OPEC+ is expected to approve another production target increase when eight key producers meet on August 2, extending a months-long campaign to unwind voluntary supply cuts that have existed largely on paper since the Iran war upended Gulf exports. Reuters reported Thursday that Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, Kuwait, Algeria, Kazakhstan, and Oman are expected to raise their combined September production target by another 188,000 barrels per day, matching the increases announced for June, July, and...
The AI Paradox Reshaping Clean Energy Research
Artificial intelligence is a double-edged sword for the energy sector. The rapid buildout of data centers to support widespread integration of large language models in virtually every economic sector imaginable, from our energy grids to your electric toothbrush – yes, really – is pushing energy demand growth projections to unprecedented levels, threatening to far outpace energy capacity additions and imperil energy security on a global scale. On the other hand, artificial intelligence holds...
Ukraine’s Drone War Is Choking Kazakhstan’s Oil Exports
Kazakhstan should, in theory, be one of the major beneficiaries of Russia’s growing isolation from global energy markets. Its crude is unsanctioned and European refiners need alternatives to Russian barrels. Yet instead of gaining a clear geopolitical advantage, Kazakhstan has found itself exposed to many of the same risks as its northern neighbour: attacks on export infrastructure, disruptions inside Russia and repeated operational failures at its own largest fields. The roots of that...

Hybrid Hydropower Could Unlock Europe’s Next Renewable Energy Boom
There is major potential to develop hybrid renewable energy projects on existing hydropower sites, according to a new report by the think tank Ember Energy. We often think of renewable energy projects as standalone operations rather than resources that can be combined to produce higher clean energy output. However, there could be great potential for hybrid projects, as energy companies look to maximise and stabilise their energy production. According to a report published this week by Ember, 25...
