The main US stock indices grew moderately, mainly due to the rise in price of shares of financial and technology companies.
Investors also attracted some attention from the US. The Ministry of Labor said that the initial applications for unemployment benefits, reflecting how many Americans applied for unemployment benefits, increased by 9,000 to 227,000, seasonally adjusted for the week ended June 23, the Ministry of Labor said on Thursday. Economists predicted that the bids would be 220,000. Such estimates are unstable and are often revised later as more data become available. Over the past month, primary treatment increased by an average of 1000 people. This measure, known as the four-week moving average, assumes that the appeals remain exceptionally low, which is additional evidence of the existence of a strong labor market. The consistently low level of layoffs means that employers are constantly keeping their jobs, as it becomes more difficult and difficult to find employees. Unemployment at 3.8% is historically low, and hiring remains constant.
At the same time, economic growth was slower in early 2018 than previously reported by the government. Gross domestic product, reflecting a wide range of goods and services produced in the US, increased seasonally adjusted and adjusted for inflation, at 2% per annum in the first quarter, the Ministry of Commerce said on Thursday. This was weaker than the earlier estimate of growth of 2.2%. Economists forecast growth of 2.2%.

According to the flash estimate issued by the INE, the annual inflation of the CPI in June 2018 was 2.3%. This indicator provides a preview of the CPI that, if confirmed, would imply an increase of two tenths in the annual rate, since in May this change was 2.1%. This behavior highlights the increase in the prices of fuels (diesel and gasoline/petrol), compared to the decrease experienced in 2017.
According to the flash estimate of the CPI, consumer prices registered a variation of 0.3% in June, as compared with May.

Statement by Reserve Bank Governor Adrian Orr:
"The Official Cash Rate (OCR) will remain at 1.75 percent for now. However, we are well positioned to manage change in either direction - up or down - as necessary.
Our outlook for the New Zealand economy, as detailed in the May Monetary Policy Statement, remains intact. Employment is around its sustainable level and consumer price inflation remains below the 2 percent mid-point of our target, necessitating continued supportive monetary policy for some time to come.
Global economic growth is expected to support demand for our products and services. Global inflationary pressure is also expected to be higher but remain modest. This outlook has been tempered slightly by trade tensions in some major economies. Ongoing volatility in some emerging market economies continues.
Domestically, ongoing spending and investment, by both households and government, is expected to support growth. However, the recent weaker GDP outturn implies marginally more spare capacity in the economy than we anticipated. The Government's projected spending impulse is also slightly lower and later than anticipated.
CPI inflation is likely to increase in the near term due to higher fuel prices. Beyond that, inflation is expected
to gradually rise to our 2 percent annual target, resulting from capacity pressures.
The best contribution we can make to maximising sustainable employment, and maintaining low and stable inflation, is to ensure the OCR is at an expansionary level for a considerable period".

The trade conflict between the EU and the USA is intensifying and leaves a clear mark on the consumer mood in Germany in June. Economic optimism clearly declines, while both income expectations and propensity to buy manage to hold their ground with slight upward growth. GfK forecasts that the level will remain unchanged in July in comparison to the previous month at 10.7 points.
The route taken by the US President in terms of the trade policy towards the EU is causing concern, especially where economic expectations are concerned. These suffered clear losses. In contrast, the income expectations and propensity to buy are managing to hold up, even making slight gains in June. The consumer climate remains stable as a result.
Following the stable development in the previous month, economic expectations saw a notable decline in June. The indicator dropped 14.1 points to 23.3 points. The last time it showed such a low value was over a year ago, in March 2017, when it stood at 18.1 points. This represents a drop of 18 points compared with last year.
