Canadian Trade Minister LeBlanc: We will extend the temporary suspension of the federal fuel tax until January 31, 2027.U.S. Central Command: As of September 2, it has forced 86 merchant ships to change course, rendered 3 ships inoperable, and boarded and inspected 2 ships to ensure they comply with relevant requirements.U.S. Energy Secretary Wright: The United States will impose very strict controls on the flow of funds under the NABEP agreement with Venezuela.On September 3, U.S. Treasury Secretary Matt Bessen stated that the Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian energy facilities are one of the reasons for rising global energy prices. When asked about the high cost of living in the U.S., he first mentioned the attacks before addressing the war with Iran. Bessen said on Fox News Wednesday, "We are currently experiencing an energy shock stemming from both the conflict in Ukraine—because Ukraine decided to bomb Russian energy assets and refined petroleum products, which is putting upward pressure on global prices—and the conflict with Iran." These attacks by Ukraine forced Moscow to extend its diesel export ban until the end of the month. This development, coupled with the relatively smaller volume of fuel shipments passing through the Strait of Hormuz compared to crude oil, has led to a tightening of global supply. Bessen had previously stated that oil pipelines would eventually help energy suppliers bypass the Strait of Hormuz, and that the strait would become irrelevant in the coming years as suppliers develop other energy routes.On September 3rd, Meta released the Muse Spark 1.3 model update, claiming significant performance improvements in coding and intelligent agent tasks. Alexandr Wang, head of Meta AI, stated that the new model is "competitive with state-of-the-art models" and will pave the way for future personal AI agent products, helping users create AI assistants that can work on their behalf around the clock. The price of Muse Spark 1.3 remains consistent with the previous version, a pricing strategy Wang described as "aggressive." Meta also stated that its "contributor tier" option has been well-received by developers. This program significantly reduces the cost of coding products by allowing Meta to use developers work to improve the model, and a "meaning double-digit percentage" of developers have already chosen this option. Wang stated that as model capabilities improve, security has become a crucial issue within Meta, and the company is increasing its investment in security and alignment. Muse Spark 1.3 will be available on Muse Code and the Meta API on the same day, with the highest inference version to be released after additional security testing.

Despite a Mixed China PMI and a Strengthening USD, AUD/USD Remains below 0.7200

AUD/USD struggles to rebound from its intraday low of 0.7160, ending a three-day climb above the monthly high, as Australian traders review Chinese activity data and domestic housing data on Tuesday morning. In doing so, the Australian dollar pair splits a three-day uptrend and decreases daily from its highest levels since the beginning of May.

 

China's official activity statistics showed a dip in May, with the headline NBS Manufacturing PMI meeting market forecasts at 49.6 compared to 47.4 earlier, and the Non-Manufacturing PMI falling to 47.8 below the market's 50.7 forecast.

 

In addition, Australia's Building Permits declined by -2.4 percent in April, compared to the anticipated 2.0 percent increase and previous readings of -18.5 percent.

 

Despite bad data from Australia's largest client and lower housing statistics at home, AUD/USD traders can maintain recent gains due to the market's mixed attitude and the US dollar's recovery.

 

As bond buyers take a vacation in the early hours of Tuesday, market excitement wanes, supporting a slide in riskier assets such as stocks and commodities. In addition, developments in Europe and consolidation at the conclusion of the month undermined the earlier risk-on mentality. Futures for the S&P 500 retrace from a three-week high that was reached the previous day in order to retest the 4,155 level. In addition, 10-year US Treasury yields have risen by 8.5 basis points (bps) to 2.835% as of press time.

 

Given the US recovery and a shift in market sentiment, as well as bad data from China and Australia, it is anticipated that the AUD/USD exchange rate will continue to decrease. Nevertheless, risk catalysts and secondary US activity statistics for the month of May must be attentively examined.

Technical Evaluation

A AUD/USD decline remains elusive as of press time till the pair holds above a 13-day-old support line near 0.7135. To satisfy buyers, though, recovery moves must rebuild the monthly high near 0.7270 by the latest.
