Description:
The European Central Bank is expected to cut its interest rates on Thursday, which could lead to a weaker euro as the region's monetary policy diverges from that of the United States. The ECB is comfortable with this divergence, even if it means a weaker currency that could potentially stoke inflation. Recent data shows that underlying inflation in the euro area unexpectedly rose in May for the first time in a year, adding to the concerns about lingering consumer-price pressures. The ECB's decision will be accompanied by quarterly forecasts and a press conference, which will be scrutinized for hints of future policy intentions. Money markets are currently betting on two rate reductions this year, with a small chance of a third.

Services inflation, an important metric for the ECB, rose to 4.1%. Markets continued to fully price in an interest rate cut by the ECB at its June meeting, following signals from policymakers that a cut is likely. Inflation has cooled significantly from a peak of 10.6% in October 2022 but has remained below 3% for the past eight months.

This recent act of provocation follows a series of similar incidents earlier in the week and is being seen as a direct retaliation to South Korea’s own use of propaganda leaflets. According to South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency, approximately 90 balloons were released on Saturday, depositing their Dirty payload over Seoul and the nearby Gyeonggi province. This followed a larger offensive earlier in the week when North Korea sent around 260 large balloons southward on Tuesday and Wednesday, carrying garbage including cigarette butts, plastic waste, and even human excrement. South Korean military reports indicated that some of these balloons were equipped with timers to ensure they burst mid-air, maximising their disruptive impact. <br/> <br/>#NorthKorea #SouthKorea #KimJongUn #TrashBalloons #KoreanConflict #PoliticalTensions #InternationalRelations #PropagandaWar #StinkingBalloons #KoreanPeninsula #CrossBorderTensions #Hostilities #Retaliation #MilitaryConflict #BilateralRelations<br/>~HT.178~PR.152~ED.102~GR.125~")
