On August 26, Ukraine reported that its armed forces attacked a large oil refinery in Russias Volga region. This is the latest in a series of attacks by Ukraine on Russias oil refining industry. The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces issued a statement saying that the attack caused a fire at the refinery near Nizhny Novgorod. The statement also said, "Operations against key enemy targets are ongoing." The Norsi refinery, with a designed capacity of approximately 340,000 barrels per day, is one of Russias largest refineries. Located about 440 kilometers from Moscow, it primarily supplies fuel to the Russian capital and surrounding areas, which is also Russias largest fuel-consuming region.German Interior Minister: We want to develop genuine intelligence services, and those who attack us must be prepared to retaliate.On August 26, a severe flash flood struck Rasuwa district in Bagmati province, northern Nepal, inundating villages, markets, and infrastructure. According to data released by the Nepal Tourism Board on the 26th, preliminary statistics indicate that the flood has caused at least 16 deaths and left 384 tourists missing, including 93 Nepalese tourists and the remainder foreign tourists. Currently, the main preliminary explanation offered by scientists for the sudden event is that an ice avalanche blocked the Runde River, forming a temporary dam that suddenly collapsed after water accumulated. However, the specific cause still requires further investigation. Due to damage to some roads, bridges, communication and power facilities, coupled with still high water levels in the mountains, the full extent of casualties and property damage caused by this major disaster is yet to be determined. Saloni Muralka, a Nepalese national, said, "From what we understand, this flash flood in the China-Nepal border region may be the largest in decades. We have been told that the flood may be related to the melting of high-altitude glaciers."German Finance Minister: Income tax reform will be proposed at the next cabinet meeting.German Finance Minister: After a year, €50 billion of the €500 billion special budget has been allocated.

As the Fed Minutes weigh on the U.S. Dollar, AUD/USD bulls seek acceptance over 0.6700

Despite quiet around 0.6730-40 during Thursday's Asian session, the AUD/USD remained on buyers' radar. Possible causes include the massive selling of the US currency and the cautious optimism of the market.

 

The US Dollar Index (DXY) dropped the most in two weeks the day before the release of the minutes from the most recent meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), which revealed that policymakers addressed the need to delay rate hikes. According to the Federal Reserve Minutes, reports about the Federal Reserve's (Fed) "sufficiently restrictive" interest rate level also weighed on the dollar.

 

Significant bearish drivers for the AUD/USD pair in November were the worse US PMIs and the high Jobless Claims data. The US S&P Global Manufacturing PMI for November declined to 47.6 from 50.0 expected and 50.4 previously, while the Services PMI decreased to 46.1 from 47.9 anticipated and 47.4 previously. The S&P Global Composite PMI fell to 46.3 in November from 47.7 expected and 48.8 prior readings.

 

Despite this, the United States Weekly Jobless Claims jumped by the most since June, at 240K compared to 225K expected and 220K prior, boosting sentiment and weakening the US Dollar.

 

Alternately, robust prints of the US Durable Goods Orders, up 1.0% in October compared to 0.4% indicated estimates and a downwardly revised 0.3% previously, combined China's covid difficulties and negative prints of Australia's S&P Global PMI for November to challenge the AUD/USD bulls. The market's attention on the Fed Minutes and the likelihood of a Coronavirus recovery appears to have bolstered Aussie pair buyers.

 

Despite these wagers, Wall Street closed in positive territory, while US Treasury yields decreased and devalued the US Dollar.

 

A lack of noteworthy data/events and a US holiday may allow the AUD/USD pair to retain a portion of its recent gains. China's COVID-19 concerns and the Reserve Bank of Australia's dovish inclination may be on the same line (RBA). Bulls are poised to keep dominance despite diminishing prospects for quick Fed rate hikes.

 

A convincing upward breach of the 100-day simple moving average and a one-week-old declining trend line near 0.6695 and 0.6590, respectively, has buyers of the AUD/USD pair eyeing the monthly high above 0.6800.
