Dronnitsa is Russia’s annual forum to develop drone technology and tactics to meet military needs Dronnitsa Russia’s drone force is getting ready to pivot for a war with the West. Samuel Bendett, an expert on Russian drones and advisor to the CNA and CNAS thinktanks, says we need to take this shift seriously. Dronnitsa (“Drone Gathering”) is Russia’s annual drone-fest when operators and makers get together to demonstrate new systems and thrash out tactics and techniques. The session this August will be the fifth, and the keynote is: “To find a way to make sure this drone war goes in our favor and to prepare for a big war with NATO.” “Dronnitsa is signaling that such potential conflict preparation will be discussed during the event, inviting participants and prepare to contribute their thoughts, ideas and technologies towards this goal,” Bendett told me.

The post EUR/USD Price Forecast: Euro wavers around 1.1430 with the bearish trend intact appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
The Euro (EUR) posts moderate gains against the US Dollar (USD) on Thursday, hitting session highs near 1.1440, yet trapped within the weekly range, with the broader bearish trend in play. A softer US Dollar is providing some support to the Euro, but rising geopolitical tensions and the rebound in Oil prices keep weighing on the common currency. Data from Germany released earlier on Thursday revealed that the Trade Balance surplus increased beyond expectations in May, totalling EUR 19.1 billion, from the 14.5 billion surplus seen in April, with exports growing and imports contracting against expectations. The Euro received a minor boost after the data release. The US Dollar, on the other hand, is losing ground, with markets still hopeful that Washington and Tehran will return to the negotiating table, despite the escalating tensions.

The post Euro holds gains against Japanese Yen as Germany’s Trade Surplus widens in May appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
EUR/JPY extends its gains for the second successive day, trading around 185.70 during the early European hours on Thursday. The currency cross maintains its upward momentum following stronger-than-expected seasonally-adjusted Trade Balance data from Germany. Germany’s Trade Surplus widened to €19.1 billion in May, marking the largest surplus since February. This comfortably beat market forecasts of €14.8 billion and followed an upwardly revised €14.7 billion surplus in April. This expansion was driven by an unexpected 0.9% month-on-month surge in German exports, which hit a three-and-a-half-year high and defied expectations of a 0.3% decline. Conversely, imports dropped by 2.5% to a three-month low, missing the estimate for a 0.1% growth and reversing the previous month’s 1.1% gain. However, the upside of the EUR/JPY cross could be limited as the Japanese Yen (JP

EUR/USD extends its gains for the second successive day, trading around 1.1430 during the Asian hours on Thursday. The Euro (EUR) receives support against the US Dollar (USD) ahead of Germany’s Trade Balance data release later in the day. Traders will likely shift their focus to Friday’s Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) data. The US Dollar (USD) underperforms as the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) June Meeting Minutes underscored a widening rift among policymakers during Kevin Warsh’s debut meeting as FOMC Chairman on June 16–17. While a portion of the committee anticipated that the benchmark rate, currently holding at a target range of 3.50% to 3.75%, would likely end the year unchanged or lower, a hawkish contingent strongly argued that persistent price pressures would require a rate hike by year-end. However, this internal friction has reinforced market expectations that the US cen
