Europe🌍:
1. low water on the Rhine causes transport costs to rise
Transportation costs are rising on the Rhine, Germany's busiest river, due to falling water levels caused by the hot summer and lack of rainfall. On Wednesday, spot costs for shipments from Rotterdam to Karlsruhe rose to around 110 euros per ton. That was 16 euros more than on Tuesday, according to commodity traders. By contrast, in June, before the drop in water levels, only around 20 euros per ton had to be paid.
As a result of the hot and dry weather, the water levels of the Rhine continue to fall. According to the financial service provider Refinitiv, only 48 centimeters were measured in the Kaub-Enge south of Koblenz on Wednesday. However, for ships to be able to sail fully loaded, the level must be at least 1.5 meters.

America🌏:
2nd US inflation weakens
In the United States, inflation fell in July. According to the U.S. Labor Department in Washington on Wednesday, the inflation rate was 8.5 percent. This is down from June, when it was 9.1 percent. Economists surveyed by the Bloomberg news agency had expected a rate of 8.7 percent.
The main reason for the decline was lower gasoline costs and the reaction of the markets was positive. The Dax gained after the release, rising more than 1 percent in the early afternoon.
