September 10th - The European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to raise interest rates for the second time since the energy price surge caused by the Iran war, as inflation continues to exceed its target while the regions economy remains surprisingly strong. In a survey, all but one analyst expected the deposit rate to rise 25 basis points to 2.5% on Thursday. New quarterly forecasts will reinforce the case for a rate hike, pointing to rising inflationary pressures and faster economic growth in the eurozone. Policymakers are dealing with consumer price increases that surpassed 3% last month, a level near a three-year high, and unlikely to fall significantly in the coming months. Unlike the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England, the ECB raised rates in June and there is little disagreement about taking action again this week.Market news: The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating whether the $20 billion licensing deal between Nvidia (NVDA.O) and AI chip startup Groq was deliberately designed to circumvent antitrust scrutiny.September 10th - According to reports, TSMCs (TSM.N) Phase II expansion of its 1.4nm fab in the Central Taiwan Science Park is accelerating, with the first (P1) fab expected to begin trial operations in April next year.

The report, citing unnamed sources, states that TSMC is building two temporary offices at the site, expected to be completed simultaneously in April next year. Initially, over 5,400 operations and outsourced personnel will be stationed there.On September 10th, the Copernicus Climate Change Service, the EUs climate monitoring agency, released a statement saying that August 2026 will be the hottest month since records began in 1940. Data shows that the global average surface temperature in August this year was approximately 16.96 degrees Celsius, slightly higher than the record of approximately 16.95 degrees Celsius set in July 2023, making it the hottest month globally. The global average surface temperature in August was 0.85 degrees Celsius higher than the average for the same period from 1991 to 2020, and 1.65 degrees Celsius higher than the pre-industrial average (1850 to 1900).

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.
