This is President Noboas first state visit to China.August 16th - It was learned on August 15th local time that authorities in Indiana, USA, stated that the powerful storms and floods that swept across the state this week have resulted in at least five deaths. Over the past week, torrential rains have caused record-high water levels in several rivers, forcing residents to evacuate to higher ground. More than a dozen counties have declared a state of emergency, with the latest damage concentrated along river channels stretching from Hamilton County to the northern suburbs of Indianapolis.The head of Irans Energy Optimization Organization stated that in the first option, gasoline prices would remain unchanged, but the total allocation would be capped at 121 million liters, and refueling stations would be closed once the quota was exhausted.

Data to be released on Wednesday is expected to show inflation accelerating for the first time in four months, with a survey of economists showing a median forecast of a 2.9% jump in July. This marks the beginning of an upward trend expected to continue into the second half of the year, ending a period of positive news regarding price pressures. As the impact of the Iran war on prices becomes increasingly apparent – especially given the still strong economic performance – this data could further unsettle Bank of England policymakers. While the inflation outlook is largely dependent on developments in the Middle East, artificial intelligence is emerging as a potential "dark horse." The Bank of England has warned that the rapid expansion of AI computing power is driving up the cost of memory chips used in mobile phones, laptops, and game consoles. Data from the British Retail Consortium in July indicates that rising chip costs are being passed on to the prices of electronic products.

NZD/USD is correcting after hitting a 30-month low at the start of the week; it is currently trading 0.2% higher amid sluggish holiday market conditions. Until now, the NZD/USD exchange rate has fluctuated between 0.5592 and 0.5616.

 

The mixed US Nonfarm Payrolls report was generally positive for the dollar and US rates, but it was difficult for the Federal Reserve to deal with the inflation headwinds ahead of this week's US Consumer Price Index and US Retail Sales data. After the results were released, the bird decreased and moved in on a test below 0.5600. The price has climbed at the start of the week to face opposition in the near term, as shown in the charts below.

 

Also widely anticipated by traders are the minutes from the previous Fed meeting. According to analysts at TD Securities, the September dot plot displays a higher-than-expected Fed Funds terminal rate of 4.625% with a relatively uniform distribution of dots around this level." How much of this was discussed at the September meeting is the question. These conversations were probably more hawkish than the current dovish pivot markets narrative, given the trends in core CPI inflation.

 

In a report published on Monday morning, analysts at ANZ Bank claimed that rising market expectations of Fed rate hikes over the weekend helped the US usd. The New Zealand dollar retraced down below 0.56 as a result.

 

Although the numbers were better than expected and the unemployment rate fell, the rate of job growth slowed and the monthly salary increase was as anticipated. With all eyes now on the US CPI data later this week, the USD/JPY exchange rate is about 2.2% higher than it was late last Tuesday.

 

"Local factors are simply absent, and anecdotally, the current account deficit in New Zealand is attracting more unfavorable attention. The NZD needs positive rather than negative attention, which is now lacking in a world where US interest rates are leading the way higher.
