US retail sales drop in June, weighing on Fed's interest rate decision

The U.S. Census Bureau announced today that advance estimates of U.S. retail and food services sales for June, adjusted for seasonal variation and holiday and trading-day differences, but not for price changes, were $442.0 billion, a decrease of 0.3 percent from the previous month.

“Unexpectedly weak retail sales data adds to signs that the US economy is slowing again after pulling out of the soft patch earlier in the year” - MarkIt economist Chris Williamson.

“The weakness of the sales data in June, alongside disappointing PMI survey data and a smaller than hoped-for rise in non-farm payrolls, all points to the economy having moved down a gear after this rebound, settling into a far weaker underlying pace of growth than was seen throughout much of last year” - MarkIt economist Chris Williamson.

"The numbers add to a growing body of evidence which suggests that the US economy is slowing again as we head into the second half of the year. Such a slowing will most likely persuade policymakers to hold off on raising rates until next year unless there is a swift revival of demand in coming months" - MarkIt economist Chris Williamson.

Chinese Stock markets fell further, with the Shanghai Composite down by -3.74% while the Shenzhen Composite lost -4.21%.

China's Economy Grew 7% in the second quarter of the 2015, being supported by the government's stimulus measures.

Bank of Japan kept its monetary policy unchanged, and downgraded its economic growth outlook for the year 2015. The Bank reduced its growth forecast to 1.7% from 2% for 2015.

In UK Interest rate hike is getting closer due to consistent UK economy's growth above the trend.

“The point at which interest rates may begin to rise is moving closer with the performance of the economy, consistent growth above trend, a firming in domestic costs, counterbalanced somewhat by disinflation imported from abroad" - Mark Carney, BoE Governor.

Today Greek parliament is to vote on the bailout plan and pass the proposed reforms needed to secure the loans and avoid the default from the Eurozone. If the vote passes in the Greek parliament today it will require the support of the opposition parties.

Greek needs to pass the bailout plan to avoid a total Banking collapse and get assistance from the European Central Bank thru Emergency Liquidity Assistance.

Greek Parliament approves Bailout package

Greek parliament has approved the €86 billion bailout package in a tense voting session with 229 members voting Yes, 64 voting No and 6 members refrained from voting.

The new bailout package demands tough economic reforms imposing sweeping sales tax hikes, reforms in pensions and a series of austerity measures as imposed by the European Union.

"I had specific choices before me: one was to accept a deal I disagree with on many points, another was a disorderly default. We will not back down from our pledge to fight to the end for the right of the working people. There is no other option but for all of us to share the weight of this responsibility" - Greek PM Alexis Tsipras.

The new third bailout package for Greece needs to be passed by the domestic parliaments of the other 19 members of the Eurozone before Greece can receive the Funds. Germany is expected to vote on the new bailout package on Friday.

Eurozone finance ministers will hold a conference call on Thursday to discuss the next steps in finalizing Greece’s third bailout of 86 billion euros and prevent the Greek Bank's from collapsing.

“We support the government but we disagree with this new memorandum, with these measures. We are the heart and soul of Syriza" - Greek Energy minister.

The European Central Bank is expected to hold a meeting of its governing council to extend financial support to Greek banks, which have remained closed for the last ten days.

"In the absence of a better solution, the European Commission has proposed to the Council to grant short-term emergency assistance to Greece from the EFSM" - European Commission VP, Valdis Dombrovskis.

Yesterday, Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen said before the House of Representatives that a rate hike in 2015 is still on the table if economy evolves as expected.

"If the economy evolves as we expect, economic conditions likely would make it appropriate at some point this year to raise the federal funds rate target" -Janet Yellen, Fed Chair.

Following the comments US Dollar was higher against its major counterparts with the EURUSD trading at 1.0903 and AUDUSD at 0.7391 in the European trading session.

In US Wholesale prices rose to 0.4% for the month of June according to the Labor department. Meanwhile, core prices increased by 0.3% for the same period. A pickup in the prices would reinforce Fed's view of raising the interest rates this year.

In UK unemployment rate climbed to 5.6% for the month of June, the first time in more than two years. With good growth prospects the Bank of England has signaled that it is moving closer to hike interest rate this year.

The Bank of Canada has cut its interest rate by 25 basis points to 0.50%, and downgraded GDP forecast to 1% in 2015.

"Additional monetary stimulus is required at this time to help return the economy to full capacity and inflation sustainably to target" -Bank of Canada.

Crude oil prices have moved higher to $51.77 after Greek bailout vote.

ECB Raises ELA to Greek Banks by 900 Million Euros

European Central Bank President Mario Draghi raised Emergency Liquidity Assistance to Greek Banks providing an additional 900 million euros that would allow Greek banks to reopen.

The ECB has hiked its ELA to Greek banks after the Greek parliament voted in favor of the austerity reforms and the third bailout program for Greece.

"If things continue to proceed in a positive way as they have done in the last two days we will have a phase during the Bank of Greece and the ECB, which are working very actively in monitoring the situation, will look at exactly the needs of the Greek economy" - Mario Draghi, ECB President.

The European Central Bank has kept its interest rates unchanged in an effort to counter deflation as per analyst expectations.

"Recent developments in financial markets, which partly reflect greater uncertainty, have not changed the Governing Council's assessment of a broadening of the euro area's economic recovery and a gradual increase in inflation rates over the coming years" - Mario Draghi, ECB President.

"As explained on previous occasions, our monthly asset purchases of EUR60 billion are intended to run until the end of September 2016 and in any case until we see a sustained adjustment in the path of inflation that is consistent with our aim of achieving inflation rates below but close to 2 percent over the medium term" - Mario Draghi, ECB President.

"Several positive things have happened that could justify us to increase the ELA we approved today. Incidentally I didn't say how much. We substantially accommodated the request put forward by the bank of Greece recalibrated over one week. The increase would be €900m over one week" - Mario Draghi, ECB President.

Greek banks will reopen on Monday after being closed for nearly three weeks. Greek Deputy Finance Minister Madras said that withdrawal restrictions will remain in place.

Bank of England Governor Mark Carney said that the UK interest rates could rise around the end of this year.

"In my view, the decision as to when to start such a process of adjustment will likely come into sharper relief around the turn of this year" - Mark Carney, BoE Governor.

In US Jobless Claims declined to 281K last week indicating improving labour market conditions.

"If the economy evolves as we expect, economic conditions likely would make it appropriate at some point this year to raise the federal funds rate target" -Janet Yellen, Fed Chair.

In New Zealand Inflation Rose to 0.4% in the second quarter of the 2015, but remained well below the target range of 1% to 3% putting pressure on the Reserve Bank of New Zealand to cut interest rates.

Crude oil prices have moved lower to $50.83 as investors await weekly US Oil rig count.
