Dealer's commitment to the ECB's interest rate hike remains unchanged at 48 basis points by the end of the year

The ECB maintained the interest rate at 2.25 per cent, in line with market expectations, and traders maintained their bets on the September hike.

The euro continued its earlier decline against the United States dollar, with the latest decline of 0.2 per cent, accounting for $1.1392. Kim Xian

Trump: Iran will be held accountable if the US forces attack the ship again

On 23 July, Trump stated in social media that a year earlier, the United States had launched a strong strike against the Houthi armed forces because they had interfered with commerce and trade by attacking ships. Since then, including during our conflict with Iran, their performance has been very responsible. Unfortunately, they are now moving again, firing on two Saudi vessels last night. If they do so again, the United States will hold Iran accountable, as the Al-Houthi forces are its agents and/or affiliates. The United States will carry out a major military strike against Iran and, of course, against the Houthis. Kim Xian
