On November 10th, Bezoss space company Blue Origin planned to launch its New Glenn rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on Sunday, a key test in the startups path to challenging SpaceXs dominance. The approximately 97.5-meter-tall rocket will carry two spacecraft built by Rocket Lab to Mars. This mission marks New Glenns first mission for NASA. New Glenn successfully completed its maiden flight in January, reaching orbit, but its boosters failed to land. Similar to SpaceXs Falcon series, New Glenn is designed to be partially reusable, with boosters capable of multiple launches, thus reducing costs.On November 10th, New York Federal Reserve President Williams stated that financial pressures faced by low- and middle-income Americans could threaten the resilience of the U.S. economy, even as wealthier families benefit from the stock market boom. In an interview, Williams said the Feds December interest rate decision "will be a balancing act." He noted, "Inflation remains high and shows no signs of declining," but the U.S. economy "still exhibits a degree of resilience." Nevertheless, many Americans are still struggling with housing and living costs. There are signs that "low- and middle-income families are facing some constraints in terms of affordability," posing a risk to consumer confidence and spending. Williams also rejected calls to modify the Feds benchmark interest rate mechanism, stating that expectations of productivity gains driven by artificial intelligence are supporting the market, but he is concerned about potential over-investment and a stock market bubble.On November 10th, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov stated on the 9th that US President Donald Trumps recent announcement of plans to resume nuclear testing gave the impression that the US intended to begin nuclear testing in the near future. Russia needs clarification on this. Peskov said that Russian President Vladimir Putin has not ordered the immediate commencement of preparations for nuclear testing, and if any other country violates the nuclear testing ban, Russia will be forced to take reciprocal measures to maintain strategic balance.On November 10th, it was reported that on November 9th local time, U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune stated that a potential agreement to end the government shutdown was "progressing." However, Thune also noted that an agreement was not guaranteed, as senators needed time to read the proposal and it could take several hours before concrete action could be taken.November 9th - Trump: I am pleased to announce that the great attorney John Coale has been nominated as the U.S. Special Envoy to Belarus. He has successfully facilitated the release of 100 hostages and is working to secure the release of another 50. I would like to express my sincere gratitude in advance to the esteemed President Lukashenko of Belarus for considering the release of these additional hostages.

As the US labor market strengthens and China CPI is anticipated, AUD / USD Appears Vulnerable Near 0.6600

The AUD / USD pair is displaying a back-and-forth pattern during the Asian session below the round-level resistance of 0.6600. The Australian asset appears vulnerable at the same time that the risk-aversion theme has been strengthened by intensifying fears of a U.S. recession and expectations of higher rates from the Federal Reserve (Fed).

 

S&P500 futures are displaying nominal losses following a fragile recovery move. It seems that the dead cat recovery move by the 500-US stocks basket is tapering away. The US Dollar Index (DXY) has turned sideways above 105.20 after a modest correction; however, the upside appears favored amid positive U.S. Employment data.

 

The robust addition of new jobs to the US labor market in February as a result of rising demand has validated Fed policymakers' concerns about persistent inflation. The United States Automatic Data Processing (ADP) reported an increase of 242K positions in February, exceeding both the expected increase of 200K and the previous release of 119K. As a result, Fed Chair Jerome Powell stated, "The Fed is prepared to announce more rates to reduce inflation."

 

The US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data, which will be released on Friday, will provide investors with greater insight into the state of the US labor market. In addition, the dissemination of the Unemployment Rate and Average Hourly Wages will be crucial.

 

The Australian Dollar has been under intensified pressure following the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) fifth consecutive 25 basis point (bps) rate hike and RBA Governor Philip Lowe's consideration of a policy-tightening suspension in response to a one-time blip in the monthly Consumer Price Index (CPI).

 

Investors are currently focused on China's Consumer Price Index (CPI) (February) data. It is anticipated that China's annual CPI will decrease to 1.9% from the previous release of 2.1%. The monthly CPI in China has been reduced to 0.2% from 0.8% previously. If inflation declines, the Chinese government and the People's Bank of China (PBOC) may be forced to infuse more liquidity into the economy.
