Iran’s Rial Plummets to Record Low as Trump Revives ‘Maximum Pressure’ Campaign

The rial fell to a record low of 850,000 rials to $1 after U.S. President Donald Trump ordered a resumption of the "maximum pressure" campaign to stop

The rial fell to a record low of 850,000 rials to $1 after U.S. President Donald Trump ordered a resumption of the "maximum pressure" campaign to stop Irans oil exports and restore UN sanctions. Even though he reinstated sanctions, Trump made hints that he was open to talks on Tehrans nuclear program. Iranian authorities are waiting for Trump to provide an update on possible negotiations. Iran has been denied billions of dollars due to economic pressure, which also corresponds with Tehrans nuclear development. With the rial falling from 32,000 rials to $1 ten years ago, the decline has worsened since Trumps 2018 exit from the nuclear deal, highlighting the severe effects of sanctions on Irans economy.

Sudan Conflict Deepens South Sudan’s Economic and Political Crisis, Warns UN

South Sudans economic problems and political unpredictability are being exacerbated by the ongoing fighting in Sudan, according to UNMISS chief Nichol

South Sudans economic problems and political unpredictability are being exacerbated by the ongoing fighting in Sudan, according to UNMISS chief Nicholas Haysom. After hearing about South Sudanese deaths in Sudan, he drew attention to rising inflation, unpaid wages, and instability. The financial and logistical burden has also increased due to the governments request that UNMISS leave a portion of its offices. Sudanese oil export interruptions brought on by pipeline damage have further reduced income. With demands for swift government action, forced unity and sufficient financing, worries about South Sudans impending elections remain. Leaders are under increasing pressure to achieve peace accord requirements as the nation enters a new stretch of its transitional period, with promises of election preparations already underway.

BIS Warns Trump’s Trade Policies Could Destabilize Global Markets

Citing economic uncertainty that could affect global central banks and markets, the Bank for International Settlements BIS has warned about the danger

Citing economic uncertainty that could affect global central banks and markets, the Bank for International Settlements BIS has warned about the dangers associated with Donald Trumps trade policies and deregulation. The head of BIS, Agustin Carstens, emphasised worries about delayed investments, inflationary pressures, and unstable financial markets. He cautioned that economic conditions could become unstable due to growing debt, lax fiscal policies, and a growing difference between U.S. and international interest rates. A "race to the bottom" in financial oversight is feared due to Trumps possible reelection, endangering the consensus among regulators worldwide. In the face of persistent geopolitical uncertainty, central banks may find it difficult to control inflation and capital flows due to the U.S. economy growing at a different rate than other major economies.

Piero Cipollone ECB Expects Three More Interest Rate Cuts This Year as Economy Recovers

Despite worries about the possible effects of the U.S.China trade war on the eurozone, Piero Cipollone, a European Central Bank ECB board member, said

Despite worries about the possible effects of the U.S.China trade war on the eurozone, Piero Cipollone, a European Central Bank ECB board member, said that more interest rate reductions are possible as inflation moderates. With at least three more cuts anticipated this year, the ECB has lowered borrowing prices five times since June to boost an economy emerging from the doldrums. Cipollone stressed that the fundamentals havent altered much since December, even if he noted that continuing trade tensions and rising energy prices make decisions more difficult. The ECB expects inflation to revert to the target of 2% this summer, even though it is now at 2.5 per cent. He was cautiously optimistic, saying that although trade disputes would hamper GDP, a recession is not anticipated. Read More..
