U.S. Special Envoy for Syria: Met with Jordanian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora Affairs Ayman Safadi. Minister Safadi and I discussed the latest developments in the Syrian Arab Republic in the context of our ongoing cooperation.On January 10th, in response to US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnicks comments that the failure to reach a trade agreement with India was due to Indian Prime Minister Modi not calling US President Trump, India stated on the 9th that Lutnicks statement was "inaccurate." Earlier on the 9th, in an interview with the US podcast "The Roundup," Lutnick blamed the stalled US-India trade agreement negotiations on Indian Prime Minister Modi, saying, "Everything was ready, and I (to the Indian side) said you have to get Modi to call the president (Trump). They were uncomfortable doing that. So, Modi didnt call."January 10th - On January 9th, a provincial financial system work conference was held in Jinan, Shandong Province. The conference emphasized the need for effective and orderly risk prevention, steady progress in the reform of small and medium-sized financial institutions, prevention and crackdown on illegal financial activities, and coordinated resolution of various intertwined risks. It stressed the importance of consolidating and strengthening financial supervision, strictly controlling market access, rigorously enforcing regulations, and holding those responsible accountable. The conference also called for all-out efforts to promote high-quality development, expand and improve the financial sector, fully utilize the moderately loose monetary policy, implement the "Ten-Hundred-Thousand" plan for cultivating listed companies, and strengthen financial support for key areas such as expanding domestic demand, technological innovation, and small and micro enterprises.U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio: The United States supports the courageous Iranian people.On January 10th, a research report from Founder Securities stated that the December non-farm payroll data was mixed, with the US job market generally showing a mild downward trend, but the unemployment rate showed marginal improvement, giving the Federal Reserve more reason to wait and see in January. Combined with the Supreme Courts potential declaration that the IEEPA tariffs are unconstitutional, this may be a short-term positive for US stocks and the US dollar, but a negative for US Treasuries. Data on new jobs, job openings, and hourly wage growth indicate that the US job market remained relatively weak in December, but the marginal decline in the unemployment rate was one of the few bright spots. Looking at interest rate futures and US Treasuries, the market priced in a no-rate-cut by the Fed in January, with a possible rate cut as early as June. Meanwhile, the Supreme Courts potential declaration that the IEEPA tariffs are unconstitutional means that economic expectations may improve marginally, inflationary pressures may weaken, but the fiscal deficit may worsen. With the Fed in no hurry to cut rates and tariffs easing, US Treasuries face many unfavorable factors in the short term and are likely to remain at high levels. US stocks will benefit from the AI boom and reduced tariff disruptions, especially in sectors affected by tariffs such as consumer staples and industry, which are more resilient.

As Australia's finance minister forecasts economic troubles, the AUD/USD pair declines toward 0.69

Since Friday's temporary reversal of a two-week slide in the AUD/USD pair, the pair has retraced to 0.6910. Despite reversing the previous day's gains during Monday's Asian session, the AUD/USD pair reflects Australia's and the world economy's economic concerns.

 

According to AAP Australian General News, Australian Finance Minister (FinMin) Katy Gallagher misspoke over the weekend when she stated that Australia is facing economic problems. According to Reuters, the remarks follow warnings that the global economy faces stagflation, a combination of sluggish growth and high inflation.

 

Over the weekend, Australia's Treasurer Jim Chalmers expressed concern over rising inflation, although expecting a rate of 7% and agreeing with a central bank projection.

 

Philip Lowe, governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia, remarked on Friday, according to Reuters, that he does not foresee a recession in Australia, but that there is a restricted path back to low inflation.

 

Notably, Reuters noted that the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has recommended for "rapid and forceful" interest rate hikes to avoid the inflationary increase from becoming much more severe.

 

The managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Kristalina Georgieva, erred over the weekend when she declared, "Further negative shocks will likely make the US economic situation'more challenging'." Notable is the IMF's downward adjustment of the US GDP forecasts for 2022 from 3.7 percent to 2.9 percent.

 

US New Home Sales for May, by 10.7 percent compared to April's revised numbers of -12.0 percent, together with the record low print of the University of Michigan's Consumer Sentiment Index for June, to 50.0 from 50.2 early estimates, impacted severely on the US dollar.

 

S&P 500 Futures fail to track Wall Street's gains, slipping 0.30 percent intraday at the latest, as 10-year US Treasury rates increase 1.5 basis points (bps) to about 3.13 percent following their first weekly decline in four weeks.

 

US Durable Goods Orders for May, expected to be 0.1 percent compared to 0.5 percent before, and Pending Home Sales, expected to be -2.0 percent compared to -3.9 percent previously, will be essential for daily direction moving ahead. Nonetheless, Wednesday's meeting with central bankers from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe at the ECB Forum on Central Banking will be a crucial event to track for observable market developments.

Technical Evaluation

Although a rising trend line from May 12 caps the downside around 0.6885, the AUD/USD pair's decline from its 10-day moving average of 0.6945 maintains bearish sentiment intact.
