OIL: Oil End of Day Summary: Crude Rises

• BofA expect "no change in policy rates and only fine-tuning in communication" with Thursday's ECB decision.
• “Lagarde will have to acknowledge how recent developments have heightened the risks already flagged in the June meeting. But she will insist on the ECB being in a good position to navigate the uncertain conditions coming up. She is likely to remain firm on deciding meeting-by-meeting and not pre-committing.”
• “Most developments since June would suggest more disinflation ahead, with increased risks of a persistent inflation undershoot. However, the lack of urgency shown in June, together with no major surprises in either activity or inflation data, a bit more frontloaded German fiscal stimulus and renewed uncertainty, all provide the perfect cover for the next forecasting exercise being the right time to take further decisions.”
• “Come September it will be harder for them to claim they are in a good position. The new set of forecasts will struggle to keep 2027 inflation at 2%, while we doubt trade developments will be better than what is already assumed in ECB forecasts.”
• “Absent major surprises in real rates or the currency, we still have strong conviction in the ECB cutting then and again in December.”

• BREAKING NEWS! We have just achieved a BIG AND IMPORTANT WIN in our Historic Lawsuit against 60 Minutes, CBS, and Paramount. Just like ABC and George Slopadopoulos, CBS and its Corporate Owners knew that they defrauded the American People, and were desperate to settle. Paramount/CBS/60 Minutes have today paid $16 Million Dollars in settlement, and we also anticipate receiving $20 Million Dollars more from the new Owners, in Advertising, PSAs, or similar Programming, for a total of over $36 Million Dollars. This is another in a long line of VICTORIES over the Fake News Media, who we are holding to account for their widespread fraud and deceit. The Wall Street Journal, The Failing New York Times, The Washington Post, MSDNC, CNN, and all other Mainstream Media Liars, are ON NOTICE that the days of them being allowed to deceive the American People are OVER. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
