because of consumer prices rise too quickly the american central bank will likely push the timing of interest rates cut further down the line. on tuesday australia's government will unveil its annual budget and we expect measures to ease cost of living pressures in the country. on friday will have more data from china which could or should give us clues on whether consumers are spending with the release of monthly sales numbers. achieve market analyst gave us his analysis. market analyst gave us his analysis-— market analyst gave us his anal sis. . , . ., analysis. the latest batch of us analysis. the latest batch of us inflation _ analysis. the latest batch of us inflation data _ analysis. the latest batch of us inflation data will - us inflation data will certainly front and centre for financial markets this week. maybe it will take down to 3.5%. if so, in the right direction, if you like, that could give some market momentum and other assets like gold and it could take steam out of those us treasury yields that remain elevated. on the flipside we know that inflation data can be uncooperative and

if it starts to at chaillot, we've seen cases of that in the past. that could upset some of the confidence and equity markets because it could push up markets because it could push up the timeline for when we long—awaited rate cut from the federal reserve, so we also got us retail sales this week. also awaiting some comments from the third chairmanjerome powell, third chairman jerome powell, so third chairmanjerome powell, so between those two and the cpi and ppi don't sarah batts this week that could certainly shift the needle as to those all—important interest—rate all—importa nt interest—rate expectations. are all—important interest—rate expectations. are still favouring at september, but if we happen to see a hotter read this week on cpi, wouldn't surprise me if we saw that timeline put further down the road, perhaps towards november, so let's see what the figures are. i so let's see what the figures are. ~' so let's see what the figures are. ~ ., . . so let's see what the figures are. ~' ., ., . ., so let's see what the figures are. ~ ., ., . ., ., are. i like to watch for. china has key data _ are. i like to watch for. china has key data out _ are. i like to watch for. china has key data out including i has key data out including retail sales. what's the state of the chinese consumer right now? , ., , of the chinese consumer right now? ,.,, , ., now? some positive figures from

week and the past month has beenin week and the past month has been in more positive than we've seen in the few years. those are the thoughts of achieve market analysts. the cost—of—living crisis is a global issue affecting many other economies. egypt has been affected by geopolitical issues like the war in gaza and attacks in the red sea. to find out how the government is cushioning the blow, our correspondent sat down with the egyptian minister of international cooperation. estimated or predicted impact of geopolitical situation on the suez canal, restoring micro economic stability meant that the repercussions of the shock have been internalised and the policy discussions and policy framework that is been endorsed by the government. all this to mitigate the impact of that externality on the domestic economy. externality on the domestic economy-— economy. according to the collagen — economy. according to the collagen of _ economy. according to the collagen of about - economy. according to the collagen of about 6096 - economy. according to the collagen of about 6096 of l economy. according to the i collagen of about 6096 of the collagen of about 60% of the egyptian population is living close below the poverty line. that's a big challenge. how are
