The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE)
today decided to cut the CBE’s overnight deposit rate, overnight lending rate, and the rate
of the main operation by 200 basis points to 22.00 percent, 23.00 percent, and 22.50 percent,
respectively. The Committee also decided to cut the discount rate to 22.50 percent. This
decision reflects the Committee’s updated assessment of inflation dynamics and outlook
since the previous MPC meeting.


Globally, growth has shown signs of recovery and inflation expectations remained broadly stable.
Against this backdrop, central banks in both advanced and emerging market economies continued
to ease their monetary policies, albeit gradually given current uncertainties. Regarding commodity
prices, oil experienced slight volatility due to supply dynamics, while agricultural commodity
prices witnessed divergent dynamics. Nevertheless, global growth and inflation remain subject to
risks, particularly the possibility of escalating geopolitical tensions and further trade policy
disruption.
Domestically, the CBE nowcast for Q2 2025 signals a faster growth outturn than previously
expected, driven by the positive contributions of non-petroleum manufacturing and tourism.
Accordingly, CBE projections suggest that real economic activity has expanded by 5.4 percent in
Q2 2025, averaging 4.5 percent in FY 2024/25, compared to 2.4 percent in FY 2023/24.
Nevertheless, estimates indicate that demand-side inflationary pressures are projected to remain
contained, supported by the prevailing monetary stance and consistent with the forecasted
disinflation trajectory over the short run. With respect to the job market, the unemployment rate
declined to 6.1 percent in Q2 2025 from 6.3 percent in Q1 2025.
In terms of inflation outturns, annual headline inflation decelerated to 13.9 percent in July 2025,
down from 14.9 percent in June 2025. Meanwhile, core inflation remained almost stable at 11.6
percent in July 2025 compared to 11.4 percent in June 2025. On a monthly basis, headline and
core inflation registered negative 0.5 percent and negative 0.3 percent in July 2025, respectively.
The monthly deflation over the past two months reflects a broader downward trend, supported by
broad-based easing in price dynamics and a sufficiently tight monetary stance, which suggests an
improvement in inflation expectations.

Trading Economics-


New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index closed 0.3% higher at 12,903 on Thursday, ending a two-day losing streak and tracking Wall Street’s overnight gains. Market sentiment was further supported by rising expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut in September, after New York Fed President John Williams signaled that a reduction was possible. Locally, confidence was lifted by encouraging domestic data. An ANZ Bank survey showed that New Zealand business confidence improved in August, with firms anticipating better conditions ahead as inflationary pressures ease. On the corporate front, the utility sector led the advance, with all players posting gains: Meridian Energy (+3.5%), Contact Energy (+1.9%), Mercury NZ (+0.15%), Vector (+1.6%), and Genesis Energy (1.7%). Among other heavyweights, a2 Milk (+3.5%) and Spark NZ (+1.2%) also climbed. Other key movers included Fletcher Building (+1.3%), Summerset Group (+1.1%), Air New Zealand (+1.7%), and Kiwi Property (+1.5%).

Trading Economics-


The Central Bank of the Philippines reduced its benchmark interest rate by 25 bps to 5% during its August 2025 meeting, aligning with market expectations and marking the lowest level since November 2022. The annual inflation rate eased to 0.9% in July 2025 from 1.4% in the previous month, registering the lowest reading since October 2019. The central bank’s inflation forecast remains broadly stable, with projections of 1.7% for 2025, 3.3% for 2026, and 3.4% for 2027. However, potential adjustments in electricity rates and higher rice tariffs pose upside risks to the inflation outlook over the policy horizon. Meanwhile, the Board noted that domestic demand remains resilient, although external headwinds—particularly the effects of US policy shifts on global trade and investment—continue to weigh on global economic activity, moderating the outlook for the Philippine economy. The central bank’s overnight deposit and lending facility rates were also lowered to 4.5% and 5.5%, respectively.

Trading Economics-


The Nikkei 225 Index climbed 0.73% to 42,829 while the broader Topix Index added 0.65% to 3,090 on Thursday, recovering part of this week’s losses as chip stocks advanced after Nvidia reported stronger-than-expected earnings and revenue. Still, Nvidia’s data center sales missed estimates for a second straight quarter, and the company disclosed no sales of H20 chips to China during the period. On the trade front, Japan’s chief negotiator Ryosei Akazawa canceled a planned trip to Washington, where he had been scheduled to discuss Japanese investment in the US. Domestically, attention turns to a raft of economic reports due Friday, including industrial production, retail sales and consumer confidence. Tokyo’s inflation reading, considered a leading gauge of nationwide price trends, will also be closely watched for clues on the Bank of Japan’s policy stance. Among notable movers were SoftBank Group (3.2%), Fujikura (5.5%), Advantest (1.5%), Sanrio (-3.6%) and Tokyo Electron (2%).

The Shanghai Composite jumped 1.14% to 3,844 while the Shenzhen Component surged 2.25% to 12,571 on Thursday, reversing the prior session’s losses as artificial intelligence and semiconductor stocks extended their rally. Earlier this week, China’s State Council unveiled its “AI Plus” initiative aimed at accelerating AI adoption across technology and consumer sectors. Chinese equities have rallied this month on easing US-China trade tensions, expectations of fresh stimulus and supportive market drivers such as stronger fund inflows, rising retail participation and margin buying. Still, Wednesday’s pullback underscored lingering concerns about the sustainability of the rally. Among individual movers, Cambricon Technologies soared 15.7%, extending record gains after the AI chipmaker swung to a first-half profit. Other notable advancers included Eoptolink Technology (15.1%), Victory Giant (19.6%) and Zhongji Innolight (10.4%).

Trading Economics-


The S&P/ASX 200 finished 0.2% higher at 8,980 on Thursday, extending gains from the previous month, lifted by strength in banks that offset weakness in commodity stocks. The financial sector climbed 1.1%, with NAB up 2.4% after appointing Inder Singh as group chief financial officer, while Westpac, ANZ, and CBA gained 1.3–2.1%. Investors also rotated into defensives, boosting consumer discretionary (0.8%) and real estate (1%). On the downside, energy stocks slid 2.4% on weaker oil prices and lower US fuel demand expectations, while mining and gold shares fell 0.7% and 0.5% as traders booked profits from recent gains in iron ore and gold. Markets also digested a wave of earnings as reporting season winds down, with South32 sinking 7.2% on a profit miss, while Qantas soared 9.1% to a record high on stronger results. Healthcare stocks slid 1.7% as Ramsay tumbled 10.5% on weaker profits and Telix plunged 18.8% after a drug application setback.

Trading Economics-


Turkey’s trade deficit narrowed to USD 6.44 billion in July 2025, down from USD 7.31 billion in the same month last year, marking the smallest trade gap since October 2024. Exports rose 11% year-on-year to USD 24.94 billion, led by higher sales in manufacturing (+12.1%) and other sectors (+27.1%), more than offsetting declines in agriculture (-11.3%) and mining (-16.1%). Germany remained the top export market (7.9%), followed by the UK (6.8%) and the US (6.3%), which imposed a 15% reciprocal tariff on Turkish exports starting in August. Meanwhile, imports increased at a softer pace of 5.4% to USD 31.38 billion, driven by higher purchases of capital goods (+14.2%), consumer goods (+17.2%), and other products (+275.9%), while imports of intermediate goods were nearly flat (+0.1%). Key import sources were China (14.8%), Russia (11.3%), and Germany (9.6%). For the January–July period, the trade deficit widened to USD 55.90 billion, compared with USD 49.81 billion in 2024.

Trading Economics-


Switzerland’s GDP grew just 0.1% in Q2 2025, in line with preliminary estimates, and slowing from 0.7% in Q1 as weakness in industry and exports outweighed gains in services. Manufacturing contracted sharply (-2.4%), led by a 4.8% drop in chemicals and pharmaceuticals after a strong Q1 surge tied to US trade policy shifts. Exports fell 2.7% and imports 3.7%. By contrast, services expanded broadly: hospitality (+1.5%), public administration (+1.2%), trade (+1.9%) and healthcare (+0.3%) supported modest domestic demand (+0.1%). Private consumption rose 0.3%, while government spending grew 0.9%. Construction (-0.4%) and equipment investment (-0.8%) declined, reflecting weakness in capital goods, particularly aircraft and R&D. SECO revised its outlook, warning that new US tariffs will weigh on growth. Projections now see GDP at 1.2% in 2025 and just 0.8% in 2026, versus earlier forecasts of 1.3% and 1.2%. While a severe recession is unlikely, certain industries face significant strain.

Trading Economics-


Belgium’s annual inflation eased slightly to 1.91% in August 2025 from 1.92% in the previous month, marking its lowest level since January 2024. The slowdown was driven by softer price increases in most categories, specifically in food and non-alcoholic beverages (2.63% vs 3.10% in July), housing and utilities (2.48% vs 2.77%), miscellaneous goods and services (2.95% vs 3.14%), and alcoholic beverages and tobacco (2.74% vs 5.32%). Meanwhile, deeper deflation was recorded in clothing and footwear (-3.13% vs -2.96%). In contrast, prices rebounded in transportation (0.83% vs -0.35%). On a monthly basis, consumer prices fell by 0.01% in August, reversing the previous month’s 0.49% rise.

Trading Economics-


India's BSE Sensex closed about 0.9% down at 80,080.6 on Thursday, its lowest since August 8 and extending losses for the second day. Most sectors, including Auto, IT, FMCG, and metals, posted declines amid mounting concerns about the impact of the tariff imposed by the US on India. On Wednesday, the US administration enforced an additional 25% tariff on Indian goods, including garments, footwear and jewellery, bringing the total amount of levies imposed on New Delhi to 50%. Besides this, persistent foreign fund outflows also weighed on sentiment. On the data front, investors eagerly awaited the release of Q2 GDP data on Friday, with markets expecting growth to slow to 6.6%, down from 7.4% in Q1. Among key movers, HCL Tech, Tata Consultancy Services, Power Grid, Infosys, HDFC Bank, Hindustan Unilever, Bharti Airtel and ICICI Bank were among the major laggards, with declines between 1% and nearly 3%. Titan, Larsen & Toubro, and Maruti led the few gainers.

The US economy grew at an annual rate of 3.3% in Q2 2025, a sharp rebound from the 0.5% contraction in Q1, according to second estimates. The figure was revised slightly higher from the first estimate of 3%, mainly due to upward revisions to investment (5.7% vs 1.9% in the first estimate) and consumer spending (1.6% vs 1.4% in the first estimate) that were partly offset by a downward revision to government spending (-0.2% vs 0.4% in the first estimate) and an upward revision to imports (-29.8% vs -30.3% in the first estimate). Growth was driven by a decrease in imports (-29.8% vs 37.9% in Q1), which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, and an increase in consumer spending (1.6% vs 0.5% in Q1). These movements were partly offset by decreases in investment (5.7% vs 10.3% in Q1) and exports (-1.3% vs 0.4% in Q1).
