US June Challenger job-cut announcements 45,849, prior 97,006.

Eurozone inflation eased to 2.8% in June from 3.2% in May, below the 3.0% consensus. Inflation excluding volatile food and fuel slowed to 2.4% from 2.6%; services inflation fell to 3.2% from 3.5%. All readings remain above the ECB’s 2% target. Oil prices have fallen on market bets of a US‑Iran peace deal, reinforcing expectations that energy-driven price pressures may ease. Several ECB policymakers said there is no need to act this month and they have time to monitor how price pressures evolve.
