英國首相斯塔默：這項防禦計劃足以威懾俄羅斯。

The yen slid to its weakest level versus the dollar since 1986. Japan's finance minister Katayama said Tokyo remains prepared to take appropriate action on the foreign-exchange market as needed, echoing recent remarks. She said her communications have been "steady" and that she only used the phrase "bold action" when pressed. Markets typically read "bold action" as a signal of possible direct intervention; her wording suggests she is not currently escalating that threat. Repeated verbal warnings have not halted the yen's decline. Chief Cabinet Secretary Kihara also said Japan will act on FX markets if necessary. Katayama declined to comment on any specific exchange-rate levels.

Germany's labor agency said on Tuesday seasonally adjusted unemployment fell by 1,000 in June versus economists' median forecast for a 7,000 rise. Unadjusted jobless numbers dropped to 2.984 mln, below the 3.0 mln mark. The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate held at 6.3%. Labor agency head Andrea Nahles said the labor market shows little change: unemployment edged down while employment covered by social security contributions continued a slight decline. Economists warned unemployment could rise in coming months as firms delay workforce adjustments amid geopolitical shocks such as the Iran conflict. Registered vacancies in June totaled 648,000, up 16,000 YoY.
