ECB’s Moulin: Central bank is in a “good position” after raising interest rates in June
European Central Bank (ECB) Governing Council member Emmanuel Moulin said at the Rencontres Economiques conference in Aix-en-Provence on Saturday that the central bank is in a “good position” after raising interest rates in its June policy meeting, with inflation easing alongside the slump in oil prices, Bloomberg reported.
ECB’s Moulin denied providing any guidance regarding the likely monetary policy decision by the central bank in July. “We are not doing forward guidance, so I won’t say what we will do in July,” he said.

U.S. Treasury plans to repurchase up to $6 billion in long-term bonds, 30-year yield hits highest since 2007
This is the second round of enhanced long-term bond buybacks by the Treasury, this time focusing on 20- to 30-year government bonds. After the announcement of the planned upper limit, the yield on 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds continued to rise, at one point exceeding 5.4%. In the first round of enhanced buybacks two weeks ago, the upper buyback target was also $6 billion, which was lower than some market participants had expected, and the actual buyback amounted to only $5.2 billion due to insufficient competitive bidding, according to the Treasury.
