An analyst said the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) faced significant challenges ahead of its next interest-rate decision, as recent communications suggested the policy rate might still need to rise. According to Jin10, GSFM investment strategy adviser Stephen Miller said the minutes from the RBA’s June policy meeting and recent remarks by Governor Michele Bullock indicated that further increases in the policy rate could still be required. Miller said this reflected an inability by the government to help the RBA fight inflation through supportive structural policies. He added that the central bank was trying to balance structural inflation factors with cyclical vulnerabilities, creating multiple challenges for policymakers.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said the company has not applied for a license under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework, arguing the regulation is “very dangerous” for stablecoins. According to ChainCatcher, Ardoino said MiCA could force stablecoin issuers to hold 60% of their reserves as uninsured cash deposits in smaller European banks, which he said may be unable to handle large-scale redemptions. Ardoino described the legislation as poorly considered and said Tether’s decision to skip MiCA was intended to protect its more than 400 million users.

The Round of 32 delivered extraordinary drama on July 1. England needed Harry Kane's late heroics to avoid a shocking exit against DR Congo. Belgium pulled off one of the greatest comebacks in World Cup history, overturning a two-goal deficit to beat Senegal in extra time. Co-hosts USA advanced comfortably despite playing the final stretch with ten men. England 2-1 DR Congo England were 15 minutes from a humiliating World Cup exit before captain Harry Kane took over. Brian Cipenga's early strike gave DR Congo a deserved lead, and goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi produced a string of magnificent saves to keep England at bay. Kane finally broke through in the 75th minute, heading home Anthony Gordon's cross. With four minutes remaining, the captain collected the ball on the edge of the box, turned, and lashed a stunning winner past Mpasi for his fifth goal of the tournament. England now face co-hosts Mexico at the Azteca Stadium. Belgium 3-2 Senegal (AET) Senegal appeared to be cruising into the last 16 after goals from Habib Diarra and Ismaila Sarr gave them a commanding 2-0 lead. But Romelu Lukaku, written off after an injury-plagued club season, sparked Belgium's rescue with an 86th-minute finish. Three minutes later, Youri Tielemans headed in Leandro Trossard's cross to force extra time. Then came controversy: a VAR review penalised Lamine Camara's challenge on Tielemans, and the captain converted the 125th-minute spot-kick — the latest goal in World Cup history. Senegal's heartbreak was complete. USA 2-0 Bosnia-Herzegovina Folarin Balogun gave the hosts a first-half lead, but his night soured when he was sent off for an unfortunate challenge on Tarik Muharemovic with 26 minutes remaining. Down to ten men, the Americans defended resolutely before Malik Tillman sealed the win with a curling free-kick that crept inside the post. Bosnia pushed for a way back, with Amar Memic and Kerim Alajbegovic both going close, but couldn't find a breakthrough. The USA's first knockout win since 2002 sets up a last-16 meeting with Belgium in Seattle. — Upcoming Matches for July 2 (all times ET): 3PM ET — Spain vs Austria, SoFi Stadium, Los Angeles 7PM ET — Portugal vs Croatia, BMO Field, Toronto 11PM ET — Switzerland vs Algeria, BC Place, Vancouver
