1. South Korea's ICT exports shrink 30% in the first half of 2023, down a consecutive 12 months

South Korea's Ministry of Science, Technology, and Information Communication said that in the first half of 2023, the information and communication technology industry (ICT) exports amounted to 84.95 billion US dollars, with a record high for the same period last year compared to a decline of 30.6%. The chip market slump and the tailing effect of the good results of the same period last year is the main reason for the decline in ICT exports.

2. IEA cuts 2023 oil demand growth forecast for the first time this year due to global economic slowdown

The International Energy Agency (IEA) said that oil demand will hit a record high this year, but economic headwinds and interest rate hikes mean that oil demand growth will be slightly lower than expected. Although demand is expected to reach 102.1 million barrels per day (bpd), the agency cut its demand growth forecast for the first time this year, by 220,000 bpd to 2.2 million bpd. In its monthly oil report, the IEA said, "The challenging economic environment is putting pressure on global oil demand, especially due to the significant tightening of monetary policy in many developed and developing countries ." IEA added that demand in developed countries (especially Europe) remains subdued. Oil demand growth is set to halve to 1.1 million bpd next year, reflecting the improvement of the electrification of vehicles and increased energy efficiency.

3. US inflation improvement injects optimism into UK Inflation, the market prices peak was lower than the BOE rates

The Bank of England's (BOE) terminal rate pricing continues to move slightly lower, with the peak rate priced at 6.50% earlier this week now down to 6.25%. Current market pricing suggests an 85% chance of rates peaking at 6.25%, with the weaker-than-expected US inflation data announced on Wednesday being the main cause of the volatility in market pricing. There has been considerable uncertainty about where BOE rates will peak, with the market hovering between 6.25% and 6.50% for several sessions. However, it now looks likely to continue lower, although we would advise caution as we still need to digest UK inflation data next week. However, the start of a turnaround in US inflation has injected optimism for a turnaround in UK inflation.
