Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan: Europe seems unwilling to accept Türkiye into the EU. Joining the EU is not our priority; Europe is the one thats losing out.August 15th - According to the Financial Times, Kyivs air defense forces were almost helpless in the face of a recent round of Russian ballistic missile attacks. The reason is simple: their Patriot missile defense systems ran out of interceptor missiles. This severe shortage of the only weapon capable of intercepting Russian ballistic missiles launched at Ukraine is exposing a critical vulnerability in Ukraines air defense system. As Moscow intensifies its offensive ahead of winter, the pressure on Ukraines air defense is further escalating. Ukrainian officials stated that the limited number of interceptor missiles supplied by the United States has been exhausted in recent weeks. Russia launched a missile attack on Kyiv on August 5th, followed by a second attack three days later. In both attacks, Ukraine failed to intercept any incoming ballistic missiles. Ukrainian officials revealed that due to the increasingly serious shortage of interceptor missiles, the Ukrainian Air Force has stopped routinely publishing the number of missiles launched by Russia to avoid revealing the number of missiles it failed to intercept.August 15th - According to the website of the China Maritime Safety Administration, the Jiangmen Maritime Safety Administration issued a navigation warning stating that military training will be conducted in parts of the South China Sea from 00:00 to 12:00 daily from August 16th to 17th, and entry is prohibited.Russian Foreign Ministry: The potential US and Turkish arms supply plans to Kyiv would weaken Moscow’s relations with Washington and Ankara.Russian Foreign Ministry: A spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry stated that the US and Turkey have been asked to explain their reported plans to provide weapons to Kyiv.

Due to Fed hawks' continued dominance and encouraging US statistics, the US Dollar Index (DXY) is trading around 109.80 during Friday's Asian session. In addition to strengthening the dollar's position against the other six major currencies, economic worries in China and Europe also help the greenback.

 

The FedWatch Tool on the CME predicts that the FOMC will raise interest rates by between 0.75 and 1.00 percent at their meeting next week. DXY bulls have been feeling the squeeze from falling US 10-year Treasury rates of -1.2 bps to 3.447%, after a gain of 1.38 bps the day before.

 

Meanwhile, 0.0% growth was forecasted for US retail sales in August, and -0.4% was revised down for July. And the New York Federal Reserve's Empire State Manufacturing Index rose to -1.5 in September from -31.3 in August and -13 as predicted by the market. The Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index, on the other hand, dropped to -9.9 for the relevant month, well below both the forecasted level of 2.8 and the prior level of 6.2. Additionally, August US Industrial Production was revised down to -0.2% from a previous reading of -0.5% and market expectations of 0.1% growth.

 

Bloomberg also released a story expecting more tougher circumstances for China in 2020. On the same line, we read about the ongoing tensions between China and the United States and the People's Bank of China's (PBOC) inaction. A surge in pessimism can be attributed to a number of factors, including hawkish comments from European Central Bank (ECB) policymakers and worries that the Eurozone would remain in a perilous situation despite a good winter stockpile.

 

As a result of these maneuvers, the stock market ended the day in the negative, US Treasury bond yields increased, and the S&P 500 Futures dropped by at least 0.65% throughout the trading session.

 

Intraday movement will be heavily influenced by the Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index (CSI) preliminary readings, which are expected to be 60 compared to 58.2 previously. Yet, the focus will be on the Federal Open Market Committee meeting next week. Given the recent recessionary issues impacting the world's top industrial actor and second-largest economy, it is worth noting that the DXY may also be affected by the second-tier statistics from China.
