Currency markets brace for US inflation data
TOKYO/LONDON, Aug 12 (Reuters) - Currency markets were in a holding pattern on Tuesday, with traders' reluctance to make large bets ahead of U.S. inflation data - important for Federal Reserve policy expectations - capping moves after UK jobs data and an Australian rate cut. 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. 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%. Ahead of the data, due at 1230 GMT, the dollar was up 0.1% to 148.31 yen , while the euro was flat at $1.1613. Sterling was also steady at $1.3434, little moved by 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 seem unlikely to change expectations for the BoE, which 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 $0.6502 , down 0.18%, 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 in sharply higher tariffs on Chinese imports for another 90 days, as widely expected. With the 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 for semiconductors. China's yuan was flat at 7.195 per dollar in offshore trading . Cryptocurrency bitcoin edged up to around $119,100, 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.

Heathrow records busiest-ever day as passengers jet off for summer holidays
Heathrow Airport has recorded its busiest-ever day, with more than a quarter of a million passengers passing through its four terminals. In total, 270,869 passengers went through the west London airport on 1 August. It came after a month in which it saw almost no growth in passenger numbers, which executives said was due to capacity constraints. The UK's busiest airport said that 7,981,137 passengers flew in and out of the terminals in July. That is compared with 7,980,455 during July 2024. Across the first seven months of 2025, the airport has recorded year-on-year growth of just 0.2 per cent, with its two runways being used at almost full capacity. Heathrow unveiled plans to build a third full-length runway last week. It said that this would enable an additional 276,000 flights per year, from the current 480,000 to 756,000. In January, Chancellor Rachel Reeves threw her backing behind the £20bn infrastructure project in an attempt to kickstart growth in the UK. The chancellor hopes the project - which the government aims to complete by 2035 - will boost growth in Britain, as the economy teeters on the brink of recession. Heathrow believes it is possible to meet the Government's ambition of securing planning consent by 2029 and the new runway being operational within a decade. It also claimed to be 'Europe's most punctual major hub', ahead of Amsterdam Schiphol, Frankfurt, Madrid and Paris Charles de Gaulle. Heathrow chief executive Thomas Woldbye said: 'It's that time of year when everyone is looking forward to their well-earned summer breaks, and Heathrow is proud to play our part in delivering smooth and reliable journeys. 'We continue to break records as Europe's largest and most punctual hub – adding value for our airline partners and passengers. 'To build on this success, we've set out a 100 per cent privately financed plan to expand Heathrow, deliver extraordinary service, create wider and better choices for our customers, and grow the UK economy.'
