Shares edge higher, geopolitics and inflation data the week's focus
SYDNEY/LONDON, Aug 11 (Reuters) - Major share indexes around the world crept higher on Monday continuing to grind back towards their late July peaks, with the focus of the week on a crucial report on U.S. inflation that will likely set the course of the dollar and bonds. Europe's STOXX 600 share index rose 0.3%, (.STOXX), opens new tab with Asia-Pacific stocks (.MIAPJ0000PUS), opens new tab up 0.2% and S&P 500 futures also 0.2% higher. MSCI's world share index (.MIWD00000PUS), opens new tab is now just 0.2% from its all-time high hit in late July as a strong earnings season in the United States, and a mildly positive one in Europe, support overall sentiment, helping investors to shrug off the impact of soft U.S. July jobs data. Trade and geopolitics loom large this week. A U.S. tariff deadline on China, due to expire on Tuesday, is expected to be extended again, while U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin are due to meet in Alaska on Friday to discuss ending the Ukraine war. The main economic release will be U.S. consumer prices on Tuesday, with analysts expecting the impact of tariffs to help nudge the core up 0.3% to an annual pace of 3.0% and away from the Federal Reserve target of 2%. An upside surprise would challenge market wagers for a September rate cut, though analysts assume it would have to be a very high number given that a downward turn in payrolls is now dominating the outlook. It also comes at a complicated time for the Fed, with Trump having repeatedly criticised policymakers for not cutting rates at recent meetings, and with the focus on who will succeed current chair Jerome Powell, whose term ends in May. This, said Paul Mackel, Global Head of FX Research at HSBC, means that the dollar's reaction to the CPI data will not be straightforward. If the figure indicates higher U.S. tariff price pressures, "that could support the stagflation narrative, and to the dollar's detriment", he said, adding this would also go against the view of some policymakers that tariffs are not causing prices to increase. "If, however, softer U.S. CPI readings materialise, including the core goods figures, this would likely challenge the dollar too by supporting the case for further Fed easing, and perhaps see greater criticism from the U.S. administration towards Fed Chair Powell." Markets imply around a 90% probability of a September easing, and at least one more cut by year-end. That has helped support Treasuries, and the U.S. benchmark 10-year yield was last 4.25%, hovering near last week's low of 4.187%. The prospect of lower borrowing costs has supported equities, along with a run of strong earnings, particularly from tech names. Analysts were unsure what to make of reports, including by Reuters, that Nvidia (NVDA.O), opens new tab and AMD (AMD.O), opens new tab have agreed to give the U.S. government 15% of their revenues from chip sales in China, under an arrangement to obtain export licences for the semiconductors. Chinese blue chips (.CSI300), opens new tab added 0.5% after data showed consumer price inflation ticked up in July, but producer prices kept falling as the country's massive manufacturing sector exported deflation to the rest of the world. Figures on Chinese industrial output and retail sales for July are due on Friday, and forecasts are for a slight slowdown after a jump in the previous month. Currencies were quiet, with early trading thinned by a holiday in Japan. The euro was marginally higher at $1.1651 and further away from a recent trough of $1.1392, while the dollar dipped to 147.38 yen. The Australian dollar eased to $0.6520 ahead of a meeting of the Reserve Bank of Australia, which is widely expected to back a rate cut. It stunned markets in July by skipping an easing of policy to await more inflation data. In commodity markets, gold fell 1.1% to $3,360 an ounce after wild swings last week on reports that the U.S. would slap 39% tariffs on some gold bars, which are major exports of Switzerland. The White House said on Sunday it planned to issue an executive order clarifying the country's stance. Oil prices slipped on the possibility that the scheduled talks between Trump and Putin in Alaska on Friday could make progress towards a ceasefire in Ukraine and potentially prompt an eventual easing of sanctions on Russian oil exports. Brent dropped 0.9% to $65.97 a barrel, while U.S. crude eased 0.8% to $63.38.

Another airline announces phone power bank ban
Emirates will ban the use of phone power banks on its flights from 1 October due to safety concerns regarding fires, explosions, and toxic gases. Passengers may still carry one power bank onboard, provided it has capacity information and is stored in the seat pocket or under the seat, but its use is strictly prohibited. The airline stated that the new regulation is a response to a significant increase in lithium battery-related incidents observed across the wider aviation industry. Emirates' decision follows similar restrictions implemented by several Asian airlines and Southwest Airlines in the US, which have also experienced overheating incidents. Aviation authorities, including the UK Civil Aviation Authority, advise that lithium batteries and power banks should be carried in carry-on baggage and be completely turned off to minimise fire risks.

Trump urges China to quadruple soybean orders
Aug 10 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday urged China to quadruple its soybean purchases ahead of a key tariff truce deadline, sending Chicago soybean prices higher, though analysts were quick to question the feasibility of any such deal. In a late night post on Truth Social, Trump said China was worried about a shortage of soybeans and he hoped it would quickly quadruple its soybean orders from the U.S. "Rapid service will be provided. Thank you President XI," Trump said in his post. The most active soybean contract on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) jumped 2.38% to $10.11 a bushel at 0637 GMT on Monday after Trump's post. The contract was steady earlier. China, the world's largest soybean buyer, imported roughly 105 million metric tons last year, just under a quarter coming from the U.S. and most of the remainder from Brazil. Quadrupling shipments would require China to import the bulk of its soybeans from the U.S. "It's highly unlikely that China would ever buy four times its usual volume of soybeans from the U.S.," said Johnny Xiang, founder of Beijing-based AgRadar Consulting. A tariff truce between Beijing and Washington is set to expire on August 12, but the Trump administration has hinted that the deadline may be extended. It is unclear if securing China's agreement to buy more U.S. soybeans is a condition for extending the truce as Trump looks to reduce China's trade surplus with the U.S. China's soymeal futures fell 0.65% to 3,068 yuan per metric ton on expectations U.S. imports could increase supply. China's Ministry of Commerce did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. Under the Phase One trade deal signed during Trump's first term, China agreed to boost purchases of U.S. agricultural products, including soybeans. However, Beijing fell far short of meeting those targets. This year, amid Washington–Beijing trade tensions, it has yet to buy any fourth quarter U.S. beans, fuelling concerns as the U.S. harvest export season approaches. "On Beijing's side, there have been quite a few signals that China is prepared to forego U.S. soybeans altogether this year, including booking those test cargoes of soymeal from Argentina," said Even Rogers Pay, an agricultural analyst at Trivium China. Reuters previously reported that Chinese feedmakers have purchased three Argentine soymeal cargoes as they aim to secure cheaper South American supplies amid concerns about a possible soybean supply disruption in the fourth quarter. U.S. soybean industry has been seeking alternative buyers, but no other country matches China's scale. Last year, China imported 22.13 million tons of soybeans from the U.S., and 74.65 million tons from Brazil.
