NASA: Artemis program astronauts have completed half of their lunar mission.According to Irans Mehr News Agency, a missile attack occurred in northern Tehran, resulting in one casualty.On April 4th, it was reported that TrueEV, XPengs exclusive distributor in Australia, entered administration (bankruptcy management) proceedings, drawing attention. XPeng responded that during the past two years of cooperation, it learned through various channels that TrueEV had experienced a broken cash flow and was under the control of its financing party, and had not purchased any vehicles for over a year, failing to fulfill order obligations including 454 cars. TrueEV also had a public business conflict with local dealers, severely damaging the foundation of trust between the two parties. Therefore, in accordance with the cooperation agreement, XPeng formally issued a breach of contract notice to TrueEV, terminating its exclusive distributorship, but retaining its distributorship status. However, TrueEV denied the aforementioned operational problems and instead pursued legal action against XPeng. The Australian court rejected its injunction application on April 1st. XPengs goal going forward is to establish itself in Australia within the next three years as a technology brand that is not only technologically advanced but also trustworthy in terms of user experience.On April 4th, it was reported that the international standard proposal for "DC Filter Capacitors for High Voltage Direct Current Transmission Systems," initiated by my country, was recently approved by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). This standard is the first international standard specifically addressing DC filter capacitors in the field of high voltage direct current transmission, filling a gap in related professional standards. The standard was led by Chinese experts, with participation from experts from Italy, France, Germany, and other countries. The development of this standard will facilitate the sharing of advanced technological concepts of Chinas core high voltage direct current transmission equipment with the world, contributing more Chinese strength to global energy transition and power system upgrading.April 4th - Data released by the General Statistics Office of Vietnam shows that Vietnams economy slowed compared to the previous quarter due to heavy reliance on Middle Eastern oil imports. Vietnams GDP grew by 7.83% in the first quarter, lower than the 8.46% in the fourth quarter of last year. The Vietnamese governments growth target for this year is no less than 10%, but this target is currently under pressure. Vietnam imports over 80% of its crude oil from the Middle East, and oil shipments from the region have been disrupted due to the conflict with Iran. Rising fuel prices have forced Vietnamese airlines to scale back operations and prompted authorities to introduce cost-control measures, including reducing fuel taxes, subsidizing prices through government-controlled funds, and encouraging remote work to reduce consumption.

In the early European session, the Gold price (XAU / USD) is exhibiting erratic movements near $1,994.00. The precious metal is in a state of indecision as investors await the release of preliminary S&P PMI data for the United States on Friday.

 

After violent swings influenced by the Federal Reserve's (Fed) Beige Book, the US Dollar Index (DXY) is showing signs of volatility contraction below 102.00. The declining trend of advances to consumer and business loans by U.S. commercial banks has intensified concerns of a recession in the U.S. economy, despite the fact that economic activity in 12 Fed districts remained virtually unchanged. To prevent a decline in asset quality, banks have tightened credit disbursement requirements.

 

In the meantime, S&P futures have recorded sizeable losses during the Asian session, as investors are wary of firms' comments regarding revenue guidance. The market anticipates that constrained credit conditions will impact the working capital management of cash-reliant companies, thereby affecting their output.

 

The market expects preliminary US S&P PMI data to reveal a Manufacturing PMI reading of 49.0, a decrease from the previous reading of 49.9. The Services PMI is anticipated to decrease to 51.5 from 52.6 previously reported.
