Irans chief negotiator, Qalibaf, stated, "The era of bullying and blackmail is over," and Iran will not "give in."Irans chief negotiator, Qalibaf, stated that the United States violated the "Iranian readjustment plan" regarding the Strait of Hormuz.July 8th - According to media reports, Xiaomi Auto recently launched the brand name "SkyNomad" and the Chinese name "澎程" (Pengcheng), emphasizing a new brand image focused on space and lifestyle, which has attracted considerable attention. According to Tianyancha intellectual property information, Xiaomi Technology Co., Ltd. has applied for registration of multiple "SKYNOMAD" and "澎程" trademarks, covering international classifications such as transportation vehicles, machinery and equipment, and communication services; some of these trademarks have already been successfully registered.The China Earthquake Networks Center officially reported that a magnitude 5.0 earthquake occurred at 10:08 on July 8 in Gao County, Yibin City, Sichuan Province (28.54 degrees north latitude, 104.67 degrees east longitude), with a focal depth of 6 kilometers.July 8 – The Reserve Bank of New Zealands Monetary Policy Committee unanimously agreed today to raise the Official Cash Rate (OCR) by 25 basis points to 2.50%. Global oil prices fell significantly with the partial reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Prices of other petrochemical products also declined. Therefore, short-term inflationary pressures have eased somewhat. However, despite the decline in energy prices, the effects of the energy shock will persist for some time, and the outlook for medium-term inflationary pressures remains uncertain. The current monetary policy stance aims to bring inflation back to the target level while avoiding unnecessary economic instability. The New Zealand economy was on a recovery track before the Middle East conflict, but economic momentum weakened in the June quarter due to the oil price shock. The outlook for medium-term inflationary pressures depends on the extent to which recent cost increases have been passed on to price increases. With inflation still above the target level and economic activity expected to strengthen, further reductions in monetary policy stimulus may be necessary to bring inflation back to the 2% target midpoint. Future interest rate decisions will depend on newly released economic data, price formation behavior, and the impact of the strength of economic activity on medium-term inflationary pressures.

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.
