WASHINGTON/OTTAWA (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump ramped up his tariff assault on Canada on Thursday, saying the U.S. would impose a 35% tariff on imports next month and planned to impose blanket tariffs of 15% or 20% on most other trading partners. In a letter released on his social media platform, Trump told Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney the new rate would go into effect on August 1 and would go up if Canada retaliated. In a post on X late on Thursday, Carney said his government will continue to defend Canadian workers and businesses in their negotiations with the U.S. as they work towards that deadline.

SYDNEY (Reuters) -Australian consumer price inflation slowed more than expected in May, while the closely watched core measure hit three-and-a-half-year lows as investors locked in bets for an imminent rate cut.

Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Deutsche Bank and TD Securities changed their next rate cut call to July from August, while UBS said its expectation for the RBA to hold steady next month is under review.

EUR/USD news

The dollar turns lower, dropping well away from an earlier two-month high against a basket of currencies, after U.S. data showed the economy created fewer jobs than expected in July. U.S. nonfarm payrolls rose by 73,000 in July, well below the 100,000 expected by economists polled by The Wall Street Journal. Concerns about tariffs hitting the U.S. economy hard have dimmed recently, but these latest figures could reignite prospects that the Federal Reserve might need to reduce interest rates in September.

Europe's economy barely grew in the April-June quarter as frantic earlier efforts to ship goods ahead of new U.S. tariffs went into reverse and output fell for the continent's biggest economy, Germany. Gross domestic product grew an anemic 0.1% compared to the previous quarter in the 20 countries that use the euro currency, the EU statistics agency Eurostat reported Wednesday. The economy sagged after stronger than expected 0.6% growth in the first quarter, a figure inflated by companies trying to move product ahead of U.S. President Donald Trump's additional tariff onslaught that was announced April 2, two days after the first quarter ended.
