September 2nd - US President Trump: Now that we Americans control it, should we rename the Strait of Hormuz to "Trump Strait"? Like the US itself, it will be "hotter" than ever before!On September 2nd, Bank of Canada Governor Macklem stated at a press conference that Canadas current inflation level remains too high, primarily concentrated in gasoline and energy prices. Macklem pointed out that the greater risk to current inflation lies in the evolution of the situation in the Middle East, how long oil prices will remain high, and how high they will ultimately rise. The central bank will closely monitor inflation data and make policy decisions accordingly. He stated that the central bank has limited tolerance for high inflation, and if inflation is deemed a persistent problem, multiple interest rate hikes may be necessary, but rate hikes are definitely not the only outcome. The central bank is prepared to adjust monetary policy as needed. Meanwhile, the Canadian economy is progressing steadily through a new phase in the trade dispute, but new US tariffs will put pressure on fourth-quarter economic growth. Macklem also noted that some spillover effects from global bond yields on Canada have been observed, which the central bank will take into account; if monetary policy fails to achieve its objectives, the market will repric.Delta Air Lines (DAL.N): This year it will invest approximately $18 billion in its employees through a “comprehensive incentive” program.Market news: Venezuelan interim president Rodriguez met with Eni CEO Descalzi.Delta Air Lines: It will match the donations made by eligible employees’ children with the same amount as the $1,000 that the federal government has paid into Trump’s related accounts.

AUD/USD Recovers from 0.6900 as Australian Retail Sales Decline Less than Expected

As the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported a smaller-than-expected fall in Retail Sales for the fourth quarter of CY2022, the AUD/USD pair has attempted to recover to approximately 0.6900. The economic figures have decreased by 0.2%, when the market anticipated a 0.6% decline.

 

The Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) anticipated release of its interest rate decision on Tuesday will be the most significant event that will generate volatility in the Australian Dollar. As the Australian Consumer Price Index (CPI) has not yet reached its peak, the outlook for the policy stance is quite pessimistic. The rate of inflation in Australia reached a new high of 7.8 percent in the fourth quarter of CY2022.

 

Deutsche Bank Australia analysts believe that the RBA will likely hike the Official Cash Rate (OCR) to 4.1%, citing the most recent inflation update, which revealed a slightly higher-than-anticipated 7.8% increase in the CPI. According to Forbes Advisor, "while the RBA will likely move more slowly in 2023 than in 2022, we now estimate four additional 25 basis point increases this year: 25 basis points in February and March, and 25 basis points at the May and August meetings."

 

Following a significant surge in Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data in the United States, the risk profile is currently favoring safe-haven assets. The US Dollar Index (DXY) intends to raise its auction profile over 102.50. S&P500 futures maintained their downward trend during the Asian session, signaling a further decline in market participants' risk appetite. The yield on 10-year Treasury notes has risen to approximately 3.57 percent.
