Euro near two‑month highs — markets expect an ECB rate hike The euro approached $1.15 after strong eurozone economic data. Eurozone GDP in Q2 rose 0.4% q/q, EU — 0.5%. Yearly growth — 1.0% and 1.2% respectively. Eurozone inflation in July — 2.9%; one‑year inflation expectations ~2.4% (above the ECB target). With steady growth and Middle East geopolitical risk, the market sees a 25 bp ECB hike in September as likely. Deposit rate now 2.25%. Gold hit a two‑month peak Spot gold reached around $2,450/oz after US CPI data: annual CPI in July +3.4% y/y, core CPI 2.5% — slightly below forecasts. Fed‑tightening expectations eased (probability of a September hike fell to ~40% per CME FedWatch), supporting gold demand. Geopolitics also supports demand: tension between the US and Iran increases interest in safe havens. Asian markets: capital outflow ninth month running In July foreign funds withdrew $25.48bn from seven Asian markets. Most went from Taiwan — $22.95bn; South Korea lost $6.26bn. Investors are selling tech and semiconductor stocks amid doubts about outsized chip‑demand growth and corporate debt risks. Taiwan’s TAIEX had a sharp drop; TSMC fell over 7%. Korea saw a Kospi correction after the June peak.
