Analyst: The ceasefire was an American initiative, and not Iran's submission to air strikes

Alex Vatanga, a senior researcher at the Middle East Institute in Washington, D.C., questioned Trump's claim that “the United States air strikes for almost two weeks forced Iran back to the negotiating table”. Vatanga stated that Iran was not considered to have given up simply because of the United States military strikes. The message that the Iranian side has been sending to the Trump administration is that time is on their side and that Iran can suffer more than the United States. So let's do it. This is a step-by-step exercise for Iran, but this is precisely their strategy in recent weeks, and no significant changes have been observed. Vatanga added that United States officials and sources in Washington were instead discussing the effects of the continued air strikes against Iraq, which most believed were no longer effective. Considers this ceasefire more like a United States initiative and would like to see if diplomacy is given another chance. Kim Xian

The Asian stock market is down 10% above its June point or will be in a recall phase

On 28 July, the Asian stock market suffered a major setback and the regional benchmark index was moving towards a technical reversal as a result of increased chip-sales. The MSCI Asia-Pacific index had dropped by 3.5 per cent at one time, an aggregate decline of over 10 per cent over the 22 June high point. Korea's three-star electronics and SK Hercules stock prices have dropped sharply, causing a drop of over 10 per cent in Korea's KOSPI index. On Tuesday, due to market concerns about overcrowding of chip stocks, the global semiconductor plate was sold and investors were sceptical about the sustainability of AI-driven behaviour. Young Weida is pushing for a new round of AI-related transactions with a total value of over $750 billion, and this acceleration of investment raises questions – critics warn that it is artificially pushing up the market demand and valuation of the entire industry. “For AI-related semi-conductor shares, market sentiment has shifted from greed to fear.” Vey-Sern Ling, Managing Director of the Swiss Confederation Bank, stated that “investors are now inclined to interpret information in a negative light and use it as a reason for selling, rather than to analyse in depth its real impact on fundamentals.”

Finance Minister of Japan: Monetary policy has entered a new phase dominated by interest rates

On Monday, 28 July, the Finance Minister of Japan stated that Japan ' s monetary policy had shifted to a phase dominated by interest rate levels, with prices rising steadily in a healthy manner. Moreover, she did not believe that the public-private investment target of 370 trillion yen was too large. She added that she was not in a position to comment on the source of the food tax relief, other than what the Prime Minister had said yesterday. According to InvestingLive analyst Adam Button, Japan will have to make trade-offs in the face of the rise in the yen exchange rate and the rate of return on Japanese debt and inflation. It has been pointed out that Japan is facing “the biggest bubble in history” and that this view is valid. One of the factors underpinning the continuation of this situation is the belief that there will be no too radical action at the decision-making level; however, the performance of successive Japanese governments has made it difficult to inspire confidence in their fiscal discipline. Despite the robust growth achieved by the Japanese economy last year, it is not clear that there is any chance that Japan will emerge from its current predicament solely through economic growth。
