Europe refuses to respond to Iran's blackmail |
Europe has once again proved that money is not the most important thing in the world, as it should be in a civilized society. After the US left the nuclear agreement with Iran, realizing that the latter is not fulfilling its obligations, Germany decided to follow this example.
Blackmail on part of the Iranian religious leaders, who also manage the country, had no results, and after negotiations with the US and China, Angela Merkel said that some European companies will stop working with Iran. The US sanctions are likely to urge European companies to stop working with Iran, Merkel said after the meeting with Premier of the State Council of China Li Keqiang. The chancellor noted that Chinese companies are able to fill the vacant place, but made it clear that material benefits should not be above security issues.
Earlier, the Iranian authorities blackmailed Europe, threatening to continue its nuclear program if the European countries do not fulfill seven conditions. It should be noted that the representatives of the Islamic Republic were smart enough not to threaten the US, the main initiator of the nuclear deal cancellation. In a response, for a start, Trump could have immediately sent a formidable tweet followed by more convincing arguments. Therefore, nuclear blackmailers decided it was Europe that should provide guarantees for the sale of Iranian oil, as well as the absence of obstacles for the cooperation of European banks with Iran. However, it did not work either.

RUB attracts very few, even the central bank does not trust it |
It is very difficult for Russians to understand why oil is steadily getting more expensive, and the ruble and gasoline prices are still rising. When oil cost three times less than now, the president of the country explained that in such a situation there was no reason to be surprised at the ruble’s fall as the ruble and oil are inextricably linked in Russia. So, if “black gold” falls, then "wooden gold" also goes down. However, since that time the situation has changed a lot, but the ruble rate remains the same.
They say that it is beneficial for the government to hold the ruble at the bottom with the current oil price. To solve this difficult task, other sanctions imposed by the USA came. Since mid-April, investors have massively reduced their stakes in Russian assets by buying currency.
The central bank is now trying to stop further collapse of the ruble. The bank intends to raise ruble’s popularity among participants of the foreign exchange market by lowering the interest rate. However, it is necessary to achieve the previously set inflation targets. "As inflation gradually returns to 4%, the cycle of our decline is nearing completion. As we have said, the situation stabilizes in the region of 2-3%. These 2-3 percentage points are needed to preserve the attractiveness of our currency," said Igor Dmitriev, head of the monetary policy department at the Bank of Russia.
There are hopes that this is not just another discussion about how to raise the ruble, but the real work on the old mistakes. Although, even if these are just strong statements, Russians will think that there is no reason for concern, and the collapse of the ruble is a previously arranged event that will only make life better.

Oil hits new highs |
Oil has persistently been hitting new levels updating one high after another. The black gold overcame the important psychological mark of $80 per barrel. Last time such prices were seen back in 2014. A large number of factors contributes to growth: a high level of compliance with the terms of the OPEC+ deal by the participants, the supply balance in the market, the decline in inventories and the higher global demand.
In addition, prices are supported by US threats to resume and even increase sanctions pressure on Iran. Donald Trump already announced the US withdrawal from the nuclear agreement with Iran, but the Congress must still approve the sanctions, and it will take time, at least 180 days. Iran is the third largest oil producer in OPEC, imposing sanctions will significantly reduce the exports of the cartel. "It’s too early to say what will happen this time, but we need to find out if other producers can intervene to ensure an orderly flow of oil to the market and to compensate for the disruptions in Iranian exports," the IEA said.
By the way, the agency warns market participants that the high cost of oil can negatively affect growth in demand. It even lowered its forecast for growth in oil demand this year from 1.5 million bpd to 1.4 million bpd. Another reason for the price increase may be Venezuela, where there are already serious disruptions in supplies. According to IEA, "the pace of decline of oil production is accelerating and by the end of this year output could have fallen by several hundred thousand barrels a day."

A real tragedy, centuries-old pain... Our Prime Minister lost control! |
Apparently, the Prime Minister decided to remind others that the only legitimate means of payment in Russia is the ruble!
Bribes given to Russian officials and ministers are found mainly in dollars and euros, and this indicates that many are beginning to forget about their “wooden” currency.
Dmitry Medvedev is not so happy with this state of affairs. In addition, cryptocurrencies are snapping at ruble’s heels, and it is a real threat of losing total control over cash inflows in the country. After a ridiculous and inconclusive confrontation with Telegram, Russian authorities have decided not to impose a ban on digital money. This time they started to call for consciousness and play on sympathy in the hope that citizens will reciprocate once again. “We are currently preparing two bills related to digital technologies in the financial sphere on the understanding that now and in the future ruble remains the only legal tender”, Medvedev said at a plenary meeting of the 9th St. Petersburg International Legal forum.
Taking a cover behind good intentions, the government wishes to strengthen control. “Transactions in the digital environment are the reality that we can no longer ignore. We need to consolidate the basic provisions in the civil law, translate them into the language of law. Therefore instead of the common slang expressions such as «cryptocurrencies» and «tokens» the lawmakers are developing more legally strict concepts of «digital money», «digital rights» and some others”, Medvedev underlined.

Diversification Rules: How to build a reliable share portfolio |
How to reduce the risk of your investment portfolio? The simplest way is diversification. It means the purchase of shares of various companies from several sectors and countries. However, the shares of Aeroflot, Magnit, and several other Russian companies do not at all indicate that you have collected a reliable portfolio. These issuers directly depend on the state of the Russian economy: if the incomes of Russians decrease, then you, as a shareholder, will also earn less. We will tell you how diversification will help to competently assemble an investment portfolio.

Treasury yields slightly raise the dollar rate |
On Tuesday the value of the dollar rebounded from its lowest level in more than a week. The rate began to rise on signals about the reduction of tensions in international trade which caused an increase in the Treasury yield above 3%.
The dollar index, which tracks t the strength of the dollar against a basket of six currencies, the main trading partners of the United States, rose 0.04% to 92.60.
The US currency found support as the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasury notes ticked up to 3.025%, the highest level in three weeks. A rise above the high of 3.035% would take it to its highest in three and a half years. U.S. Treasury yields were boosted by easing trade tensions between the U.S. and China after Donald Trump pledged to help Chinese technology company ZTE to resume work.
In April, the White House barred U.S. companies from selling software and electronic components to ZTE which practically stopped the work of the company.
The dollar rate hit four-and-a-half month highs against a currency basket last week. Then the currency lost momentum after tame U.S. inflation data tempered expectations for more stringent monetary policy by the US Federal Reserve this year.
The regulator raised rates last March and projected two more rate hikes this year, although many investors had seen three hikes as possible. Investors were looking ahead to data on U.S. retail sales to assess the situation in the US economy. The dollar rose 0.22% against the yen to 109.89.
The euro was almost unchanged, holding at 1.1926. The euro touched the day’s highs on Monday after European Central Bank policymaker Francois Villeroy de Galhau said that the European regulator expects a rate hike near the end of the QE program.
The pound was steady, with GBP/USD at 1.3550, ahead of the latest UK jobs report.
The Australian dollar was lower, with AUD/USD sliding 0.11% to 0.7517. The NZD/USD pair was trading at 0.6910.
