class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Citadel CEO Ken Griffin<\/strong> has offered a forward-looking perspective on the <strong>Federal Reserve&#39;s<\/strong> monetary policy, predicting that the central bank will reduce interest rates at least once this year, with the possibility of a second cut. He suggested that if a cut doesn&#39;t occur in September, it is highly probable in December. Griffin also cautioned that the <em>inflationary impact of existing tariffs is still unfolding<\/em>, indicating potential headwinds for price stability. This outlook comes as the Fed continues to navigate sticky wage growth and core inflation, alongside the effects of deglobalization.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"US-Turkey_Diplomatic_and_Defense_Engagements\"><\/span>US-Turkey Diplomatic and Defense Engagements<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>US President Donald Trump<\/strong> is engaged in significant bilateral discussions with <strong>Turkey&#39;s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan<\/strong> today. A central theme of these talks is Turkey&#39;s desire to acquire <strong>F-35<\/strong> and <strong>F-16<\/strong> fighter jets, a topic that has been a point of contention since Turkey&#39;s removal from the F-35 program after its purchase of Russian S-400 air defense systems. President Trump has expressed openness to discussing these sales, along with other trade and military deals.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, President Trump has urged President Erdogan to <em>cease buying oil from Russia<\/em>. These discussions also encompass the <strong>Halkbank<\/strong> issue and other matters, highlighting the multifaceted nature of the US-Turkey relationship. The Kremlin, meanwhile, stated that Russia is awaiting a US response to a new START proposal, indicating broader strategic arms discussions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"International_Trade_and_Energy_Policy\"><\/span>International Trade and Energy Policy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>India&#39;s <strong>Commerce &amp; Industry Minister Piyush Goyal<\/strong> is leading a trade delegation that is set to return from the US tomorrow. The delegation&#39;s visit aimed to advance negotiations for a bilateral trade agreement, a critical effort given the Trump administration&#39;s imposition of a <strong>50% tariff on India<\/strong>, partly due to India&#39;s purchases of Russian crude oil. President Trump has consistently called for countries, including India and China, to stop purchasing Russian oil, arguing it funds the ongoing conflict.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"European_Market_Performance\"><\/span>European Market Performance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>European stock markets experienced a downturn, with <strong>Britain&#39;s FTSE 100<\/strong> closing down <strong>0.44%<\/strong>.
