Futures Flat Ahead Of Retail Sales, Trump-Putin Summit

Key Events This Week: CPI, PPI Retail Sales, Trump-Putin Summit
As we move into mid-August, markets are bracing for a surprisingly busy week, with several key events and data releases likely to shape sentiment; of these, the most closely watched will be tomorrow's US CPI report, which after the last week of July which had both the jobs report and the Fed meeting, could prove to be one of the larger events of the summer for markets, according to Deutsche Bank's Peter Sidorov.
And as DB's Jim Reid notes, also on the radar is Friday's high-stakes meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in Alaska as the US has pushed for a ceasefire in Ukraine. Last Friday Trump said a deal would involve “some swapping of territories” with reports suggesting that it would see Ukraine ceding Russia the parts of Donbas that it still controls. Ukraine's President Zelenskiy was quick to reject the idea and European leaders have called for any peace talks with Russia to include Kyiv. Bloomberg report...

Would A Trump-Putin Agreement Bring Peace To Ukraine Or Just Set The Stage For More War?
Authored by Jim Jatras via The Ron Paul Institute
"I have not become the King's First Minister in order to preside over the liquidation of the British Empire." – Winston Churchill, 1942
Many Americans, even a lot who never much cared for Donald Trump, voted for him in part because they believed – or at least hoped – that he would be, relatively speaking, a peace candidate compared to the hideous Biden-Harris record. To his credit, Trump's first term was the only US presidency since Jimmy Carter's not to get us embroiled in a new conflict, though he failed to extricate us from Afghanistan or Syria.
Such hopes need to be balanced against other aspects of Trump's earlier tenure in office. Notably, on Ukraine, he oversaw provision of lethal aid to Kiev that had been denied by Barack Obama. Put another way, it was under Trump that Ukraine built up a NATO army in all but name, setting the sta...
