LATAM Airlines: Some flights may be affected by the power outage in Chile.U.S. White House official: The new administrator of the "Department of Government Effectiveness" is Amy Gleason.On February 26, Fed Chairman Logan said that in the medium term, it is appropriate for the Fed to buy more short-term securities rather than long-term securities so that the portfolio can reflect the composition of U.S. Treasury issuance more quickly. The Fed is currently gradually reducing its holdings of U.S. Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities. Logan said that when the Fed needs to start expanding its balance sheet again, policymakers should consider actively purchasing more short-term assets to bring the central banks balance sheet to a neutral level faster.Market news: A U.S. judge extended the deadline to prevent the Trump administration from completely suspending federal funding.On February 26, according to NBC News, the White House said that the large bruise on the back of US President Trumps right hand was caused by shaking hands. The bruise was visible when Trump met with French President Macron at the White House on Monday. White House Press Secretary Levitt said: "President Trump has bruises on his hands because he works and shakes hands all day long." Photos show that Trumps right hand had obvious bruises or redness and swelling on at least two other occasions in August and November last year. The situation was also reported by multiple news media in 2024.

AUD/USD struggles to maintain a price over 0.6720 due to risk aversion ahead of FOMC minutes

The AUD/USD pair is under pressure throughout the Asian session to maintain above the immediate resistance level of 0.6720. As the risk-aversion theme influences the Australian Dollar, it is projected that the Aussie asset will retest the round-level support at 0.6700.

 

The negative close of the S&P500 on Tuesday and the dismal performance of the 500-stock U.S. index on a larger scale highlight market participants' pessimism. On Tuesday, the US Dollar Index (DXY) turned positive after tenaciously defending the 103.00 support. In contrast, demand for US government bonds soared, leading in a decline to 3.76 percent for 10-year Treasury yields.

 

Prior to the release of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes, there has been a significant spike in demand for the US Dollar Index. Investors eagerly await monetary policy outlook indicators for CY2023.

 

The current tight labor market and low unemployment rate in the United States present the Federal Reserve (Fed) with a considerable challenge in its pursuit of a 2% inflation rate. A continuation of the labor market's greater monthly job gains is attracting higher employment expenses to compensate for the labor shortage, which may encourage future retail demand.

 

The Australian Dollar is failing to capitalize on Caixin Manufacturing PMI data that exceeded expectations. IHS Markit reported economic data of 49.0, which is higher than the consensus estimate of 48.8 but lower than the prior release of 49.4. The market anticipated a decline in PMI figures after detecting negative signals in China's official Manufacturing PMI data and the precarious condition of Covid-19 in China.
