Israel Defense Forces: Initial reports indicate that alarms have been raised regarding enemy aircraft infiltration in the Miskaf-Am area. Further details are under investigation.On May 17th, it was reported that the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier returned to Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia, on May 16th, concluding its 11-month deployment. According to US sources, the USS Gerald R. Fords deployment lasted 326 days, breaking the record for the longest deployment by a US aircraft carrier since the Vietnam War. Since June of last year, the USS Gerald R. Ford has participated in US military operations against Venezuela and Iran. The extended deployment has led to fatigue among the USS Gerald R. Ford and its crew, resulting in numerous ship malfunctions. It is reported that the USS Gerald R. Ford issued 32 requests for wastewater treatment system maintenance by 2025. In March of this year, a fire broke out in the ships stern laundry room, injuring three sailors and requiring treatment for smoke inhalation by more than 200 others. The USS Gerald R. Ford was subsequently forced to withdraw from the Middle East theater of operations, undergoing repairs and maintenance in ports in Greece and Croatia.According to CNBC, Estonias defense minister warned that prices for European defense products have risen by more than 50%, complicating NATOs rearmament efforts and the urgent aid to Ukraine to counter Russia.The South Korean presidential office said on Sunday that South Korean President Lee Jae-myung will hold a summit with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi next Tuesday.On May 17th, Hongqiao Holdings stated at its earnings conference on May 15th that, according to publicly available industry data, aluminum rod inventory has been continuously decreasing since mid-March 2026. This year, due to factors such as the later Spring Festival, the delayed off-season, and the impact of high aluminum prices on downstream restocking, the destocking pace of aluminum ingots has been relatively slow. However, recently, there have been signs of a marginal decline in electrolytic aluminum social inventory. The destocking trend still needs to be continuously observed in conjunction with subsequent downstream production, spot transactions, and delivery status. The relatively high level of aluminum ingot social inventory this year is mainly likely related to the following factors: First, the recovery of demand after the Spring Festival was somewhat delayed, leading to relatively cautious downstream delivery and restocking; second, the relatively high aluminum prices have had a certain impact on downstream procurement, resulting in a temporary accumulation of inventory in the upstream and distribution links; third, the inventory performance of different product forms varies, with the destocking pace of aluminum rods, aluminum ingots, and processed materials not being entirely consistent. Overall, with the continued release of downstream demand, there are signs of marginal improvement in aluminum ingot social inventory, but the specific timing and extent of destocking still depend on market supply and demand, price levels, and delivery schedules.

NZDUSD consolidates near 0.6100, closing below Friday's two-month peak

The NZDUSD pair struggles to capitalize on last week's breakthrough momentum through the 100-day Simple Moving Average, bouncing between moderate gains and slight losses throughout Monday's early European session. The pair is currently trading slightly below the 0.6100 level, practically flat on the day, and remains close to Friday's two-month high.

 

A convergence of variables permits the US Dollar to stabilize at its lowest level since mid-August, acting as a headwind for the NZDUSD pair. In response to Christopher Waller's more hawkish remarks on Sunday, U.S. Treasury bond yields rise. It is expected that this, along with a softer tone on equity markets, will benefit the safe-haven dollar and exert some downward pressure on the risk-averse New Zealand dollar.

 

Waller indicated during a conversation in Sydney, Australia, that the markets had overreacted to October's weaker-than-expected consumer price inflation numbers. Waller stated that the Federal Reserve was not lessening its fight against inflation and that a string of moderate CPI readings would be required for the US central bank to soften its approach. This increases US Treasury bond yields and helps support USD demand, notwithstanding the lack of confidence in the intraday rise.

 

A greater possibility that the Federal Reserve will slow the pace of its policy tightening discourages USD bulls from placing risky trades. Moreover, optimism surrounding a likely rollback of COVID-19 measures in China supports the NZD/USD pair and restricts its downside. Therefore, the subdued intraday price movement can be characterized as a bullish consolidation phase, meaning that any significant pullback is likely to be purchased and remain confined.

 

The United States is not slated to provide any market-moving economic data on Monday, leaving the USD at the mercy of US bond yields. Traders will also consider Lael Brainard's anticipated Fed governor address. Together with the broader risk sentiment, this will be analyzed for short-term trading opportunities in the NZDUSD pair prior to the release of Chinese economic data on Tuesday.
