United States and Canada United States and Canada US inflation dropped significantly last month, giving rise to new optimism that the Fed can end the most aggressive tightening in decades soon after the anticipated hike at their meeting on July 25–26. The Bank of Canada delayed the return of inflation to its target of 2% by increasing interest rates for the second consecutive meeting, leaving the door open for additional increases. The overnight lending rate is at 5%, which is the highest level in 22 years. Asia Asia China is experiencing trade pressure as foreign shipments decrease and domestic demand remains low. A temporary respite is unlikely to materialize anytime soon given the dismal outlook for global growth and the current geopolitical unrest. India, the largest exporter of rice in the world, is considering a ban on most varieties, which could push up already-high global prices as the disruptive El Ninõ weather pattern recurs. Australia's business conditions remained resilient in June, defying the Reserve Bank's more than a year’s tightening cycle and warnings of slower economic growth, while consumer confidence remained “deeply pessimistic.” Europe Europe UK wages increased more than anticipated to a level that Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey claimed is driving inflation and keeping pressure on the government to raise interest rates. In the three months leading up to May, average weekly earnings, excluding bonuses, increased 7.3% from a year earlier. May's increase in industrial production in the Eurozone was less than expected, which is another indication that manufacturing is still struggling to pick up steam after the 20-nation bloc experienced a wintertime recession.

Saudi Arabia's decision to extend its oil production cuts, which are part of a largely unsuccessful attempt to raise prices, may result in an economic contraction in the Group of 20's previous year’s fastest- growing country.
