Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Sunday, ahead of a meeting with the U.S. peace envoy in Kyiv, that Ukraine wants an end to the war and needs security guarantees.September 6th - According to the emergency rescue command center for the "8.26" mudslide disaster in Gyirong County, Tibet Autonomous Region, as of 6 p.m. on September 5th, the disaster has resulted in 43 deaths and 519 missing persons.September 6th - Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Ghalibaf stated in an open parliamentary session today (September 6th) that the recent attacks by Iranian armed forces on US bases "are just the beginning," and that the US should recognize that "the rules of the game have changed." Any future actions against Iranian interests and security will be met with a "faster, fiercer, and more painful" response.On September 6th, special commentator Su Xiaohui stated that Russia and Ukraines agreement to halt attacks on each others capitals for three days, ostensibly to technically ensure the safety of the US delegations trip, actually reflects the ongoing intense power struggle between the two sides. Both are trying to shift the pressure from the US onto their adversaries. Overall, with the Middle East deadlock unresolved, the USs current European diplomatic trip aims to demonstrate its continued diplomatic capability to advance major agendas. Ukraines earlier proposal to halt attacks on the Russian capital was essentially passing the buck to Russia, accusing Russia of undermining the negotiation process; Russias swift response, returning the buck, reflects that both Russia and Ukraine value the USs role, wanting to respond to US diplomatic considerations while simultaneously seeking US support for their own positions.On September 6, the foreign ministers of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, the Republic of Indonesia, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the Republic of Turkey, the State of Qatar, and the Arab Republic of Egypt issued a joint statement strongly condemning the remarks made by Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gwell and Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz regarding the expulsion of the Palestinian people from the Gaza Strip, including proposals for plans and mechanisms aimed at forcibly removing Palestinians from their homes. Such inflammatory rhetoric and proposals blatantly violate principles of international law, including international humanitarian law, and pose a direct threat to the legitimate and inalienable rights of the Palestinian people. The Gaza Strip is an integral part of the occupied Palestinian territory, and the unity of the Palestinian land must be maintained.

Despite a stable DXY and a hawkish RBNZ stance, NZD/USD bulls tinker around 0.5700

On Wednesday morning, NZD/USD bulls struggle to keep control during the three-day uptrend, making minor gains above 0.5700. The market's sluggish performance in light of the dormant US Dollar Index (DXY) and the risk-on stance is reflected in this. However, buyers remain upbeat due to the hawkish view for the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's (RBNZ) upcoming action.

 

Following the announcement of New Zealand's (NZ) Q3 Consumer Price Index, several banks increased their favorable forecasts for the RBNZ's upcoming action (CPI).

 

However, against the market's expectation of 1.6% and the prior data of 1.6%, New Zealand's Q3 CPI jumped to 2.2%. The data also showed that the YoY CPI increased to 7.2% from 7.2% earlier and 6.6% as was predicted. The Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ) said, based on the information: "The RBNZ will need to take action as core inflation continues to remain entrenched and shows no signs of turning the corner. We expect the OCR to rise by 75 basis points to 5% in November and February."

 

The risk-on attitude is also helping the NZD/ascent elsewhere. In keeping with Wall Street's second straight day of gains, USD's S&P 500 Futures rise 0.80% intraday, while the US Dollar Index (DXY) holds steady near 112.00 and US 10-year Treasury yields fluctuate around the 4.00% level.

 

News reports about the battle of Russian forces in Ukraine and UK Chancellor Jeremy Hunt's ability to fend off the impacts of the recession appear to be the main drivers of the recent market optimism.

 

It should be noted that despite risk-on attitude and sluggish Treasury rates, the DXY does not increase in response to improved industrial production and aggressive Fed statements. Neel Kashkari, president of the Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank, recently said: "Until I see persuasive evidence that core inflation has at least peaked, I am not willing to pause rate hikes."

 

Future Fed speakers will join housing-related secondary US data to thrill NZD/USD speculators. However, barring any risk-averse surprises or unexpected RBNZ pronouncements, the Kiwi-Dollar pair is likely to continue strengthening.
