Currency markets brace for US inflation data
Currency markets were in a holding pattern on Tuesday ahead of U.S. inflation data - important for Federal Reserve policy expectations - with traders' caution capping the pound's gains after UK jobs data and the Australian dollar's losses. A moderate reading on U.S. price pressures could cement bets for a Fed rate reduction next month, which increased after last week's soft payrolls data. But if signs emerge that U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs are stoking inflation, that could pressure the central bank to stay on hold, though the bar for that is higher. That in turn would fuel further tensions with Trump, who has urged the Fed to cut rates. Economists polled by Reuters expect core CPI to have risen 0.3% in July, pushing the annual rate higher to 3%, and traders currently put the odds of a quarter-point rate cut on September 17 at about 89%, and are fully pricing two such cuts by year end. "The $1 million question for the market (is) does CPI today matter for the Fed in September and beyond," said Kenneth Broux, head of corporate research FX and rates at Societe Generale. He said given market pricing, "it's a big ask for today's CPI and the one next month to challenge the dovish set-up". Ahead of the data, due at 1230 GMT, the dollar was up 0.2% against the yen at 148.43, while the euro was marginally softer at $1.1609. Sterling was among the bigger movers, up 0.2% on the dollar at $1.3460 after data that showed Britain's jobs market weakened further, albeit more slowly, while wage growth stayed strong - the latter underscoring why the Bank of England is so cautious about cutting interest rates. The numbers ought not to cause the Bank of England to accelerate the speed of its rate cuts. The BoE cut rates only last week in a tight 5-4 vote. Sanjay Raja, chief UK economist at Deutsche Bank, said there were "marginal positives" in the data and there was nothing to suggest labour market loosening was accelerating, but he added "we aren't out of the woods yet". He expects the BoE to continue loosening policy gradually. The Australian dollar fetched $0.6493, down 0.3%, after the Reserve Bank of Australia's widely-expected decision to cut rates by a quarter point. The central bank cited a slowdown in inflation and a looser labour market, though it was cautious on prospects for further easing. "We remain of the view that a follow-up cut in November is more likely than not, with the cash rate to then stay at 3.35% for an extended period," said Adam Boyton, head of Australian economics at ANZ, in a note. Currency markets largely ignored Trump's decision to extend a pause in sharply higher tariffs on Chinese imports for another 90 days, as widely expected. With the U.S. and China seeking to strike a deal averting triple-digit import tariffs, a U.S. official told Reuters that chip makers Nvidia and AMD had agreed to allocate 15% of China sales revenues to the U.S. government, aiming to secure export licences for semiconductors. China's yuan was flat at 7.195 per dollar in offshore trading. Cryptocurrency bitcoin was flat around $118,400, after climbing as high as $122,308.25 on Monday, taking it close to the all-time peak of $123,153.22 from mid-July.

Car shipper says US tariff haze still affecting auto trade flows
Europe's car exporters are still struggling with uncertainty over U.S. tariffs despite last month's trade deal, Wallenius Wilhelmsen, the operator of one of the world's largest car-carrier fleets, told Reuters on Tuesday. The U.S. and European Union struck a trade deal in late July that saw U.S. import tariffs on most goods from Europe, including cars, set at 15%. Cars had initially faced a 27.5% levy after U.S. President Donald Trump hiked tariffs this year. However, the new 15% rate has not yet been implemented for cars, meaning that Wallenius customers such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo Cars still face the higher rate. The absence of an executive order from Trump lowering the autos tariff has left the industry holding its breath for potential last-minute changes. "So far we actually do not know exactly what the tariff level will be. Our customers do not know either, so it is too early to say what they'll do," Wallenius CEO Lasse Kristoffersen said following the company's quarterly results. While carmakers raced earlier this year to ship cars to the U.S. ahead of the tariff hike to 27.5%, the opposite happened at the start of the second quarter, Kristoffersen said. "We saw that they held more back in the start of the second quarter but that volumes increased throughout the quarter," he said. (Reporting by Marie Mannes. Editing by Terje Solsvik and Mark Potter)

Trump Delays China Tariff Hike for 90 More Days
U.S. President Donald Trump has given the U.S.-China trade talks a fresh 90-day lifeline, signing an executive order just hours before steep tariffs were set to return. Without it, American duties on Chinese goods would have jumped to 145%, with China ready to slap a 125% rate on U.S. products—a level that would have nearly frozen trade between the two countries. Why It Matters The original tariff pause began in May after talks in Geneva, giving both sides time to negotiate. That window was set to close Tuesday at 00:01 ET. Now, with the extension, the U.S. will keep its current 30% tariffs on Chinese imports, while China maintains its 10% rate on American goods. Behind the Decision Trump has kept talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping cordial, hinting at 'nice' progress but avoiding big promises. Trade insiders say this delay is classic Trump—drawing negotiations out to the final moments for leverage. Former officials expect the extra time will be used to hammer out bigger trade agreements, possibly including investments, export rules, and agricultural deals. What's Next The fall could bring a larger framework agreement, but for now, the move mostly buys breathing room. Analysts note it also reduces market jitters and gives both countries space to work through deeper issues, from soybean purchases to energy imports.
