\n

Crypto markets remained relatively flat over the weekend with low volatility and total capitalization hovering around $2.3 trillion.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, military action in the Middle East has continued with the US Central Command reporting on Sunday that it was conducting a new wave of strikes against Iran for the ninth consecutive night.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe strikes will continue degrading Iranian military capabilities used to attack commercial vessels and civilian mariners transiting the Strait of Hormuz,\u201d it stated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Meanwhile, crude oil prices jumped again, with WTI hitting $85 and Brent topping $90, and US stocks continued to cool last week as inflationary pressures returned<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Economic Events July 20 to 24<\/h2>\n

There are no economic reports due on Monday or Tuesday, and weekly jobless claims are out on Thursday.\u00a0Friday sees the release of the S&P Purchasing Manager\u2019s Index (PMI) reports for manufacturing and services, which generally reflect changes in economic growth conditions.<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s data will signal whether the economy remains as robust as some recent figures have shown, following last week\u2019s below-forecast CPI inflation reports.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt appears that the disinflationary trend that began in 2023 has indeed remained intact,\u201d Elmar Voelker, analyst at LBBW, said in a note, according<\/a> to the WSJ. \u201cGiven this context, there is little to suggest that US monetary policymakers will decide to raise the benchmark interest rate at their next meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n

The CME Fed Watch Tool currently predicts an 85.6% probability that rates will remain unchanged during the central bank\u2019s next meeting on July 29.<\/p>\n
