英镑升至1.354美元,为约两周来的最高点,因美日贸易协议后风险偏好有所改善。该协议包括15%的关税,避免了之前计划的更严厉的25%的税率,并为美国设立了5500亿美元的投资基金。特朗普总统称其为“对每个人都有好处”,提振了全球贸易情绪。在英国,人们的注意力转向了关键的经济数据。预计Flash PMI将显示六个月来最温和的制造业收缩和近一年来最强劲的服务业增长。在炎热天气的帮助下,零售额预计也将反弹。与此同时,英国6月份的预算赤字为207亿英镑,是1993年以来第二高的6月份数字。受通胀挂钩金边债券成本的推动,利息支付达到164亿英镑。借贷的激增引发了人们的猜测,即财政大臣雷切尔·里夫斯可能需要在秋季增税。
The British pound rose to $1.354, its highest in about two weeks, as risk appetite improved following a US-Japan trade deal. The agreement includes a 15% tariff, avoiding the harsher 25% rate previously planned, and features a $550 billion investment fund for the US. President Trump called it “a great deal for everybody,” boosting global trade sentiment. In the UK, attention turns to key economic data. Flash PMIs are expected to show the mildest manufacturing contraction in six months and the strongest services growth in nearly a year. Retail sales are also projected to rebound, helped by hot weather. Meanwhile, the UK posted a £20.7 billion budget deficit for June, marking the second-highest June figure since 1993. Interest payments hit £16.4 billion, driven by inflation-linked gilt costs. This surge in borrowing raises speculation that Chancellor Rachel Reeves may need to raise taxes in the autumn.
