Venezuela's interim president Rodriguez appointed Calixto Ortega Sanchez as governor of the Central Bank of Venezuela.

Counterpoint Research director MS Hwang said recent share-price weakness does not indicate a fundamental shift in the memory-chip market. Samsung Electronics fell 6.9% and SK Hynix fell 6.1% on Tuesday, even as Samsung expects another record quarter on strong demand; some investors may view much of Samsung’s upside as already priced in on stronger profitability expectations. Hwang said recent strikes and political debate over profit-sharing could raise concerns about future shareholder returns, but manufacturers’ fundamentals remain solid. Counterpoint’s July memory-price tracking report now forecasts Q3 DRAM prices up 10–20% as customers continue to front-load orders, versus an earlier 5–10% projection.

據CNN，消息人士透露，美國總統特朗普曾考慮將駐歐美軍削減三分之一，以此向北約傳遞某種信號。今年春季，在白宮舉行的一次會議上，當得知北約盟友拒絕參與他對伊朗發動的戰爭時，特朗普勃然大怒，並萌生了一個想法。他當時問道：如果將駐歐美軍削減三分之一會怎樣？這是否能向那些所謂的盟友傳遞出恰當的信號？就在特朗普提出這一想法前後，五角大樓突然取消了兩次美軍向歐洲的部署行動，並下令從歐洲撤回其他人員。據兩名消息人士稱，美防長赫格塞思原計劃在6月的北約會議上宣佈更大幅度的削減措施，其規模可能達到特朗普所提議的三分之一。但在與其他政府高層官員磋商後，計劃發生了改變；赫格塞思轉而宣佈將對駐歐美軍進行爲期六個月的評估。
