According to Japans Kyodo News, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichis cabinet approval rating has dropped to 53.7%, the lowest point since the cabinet was formed.On July 26, Saudi Aramco shares fell as much as 1.0% in early trading, dropping to 26.56 riyals. This decline followed attacks by Houthi rebels in Yemen on two Aramco oil facilities in the Saudi cities of Jizan and Yanbu, raising concerns about potential disruptions to the state-owned oil giants operations and infrastructure. However, including todays decline, the stock is still up approximately 11.8% year-to-date. According to data from the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), of the 17 brokerages covering the stock, 10 have a "buy" rating or higher, and 7 have a "hold" rating. The median target price is 30.80 riyals, implying an upside of approximately 16% from the intraday low.The African Development Banks climate chief said African countries need up to $50 billion in additional climate financing this year to help combat climate change.On July 26th, JiKr released a statement regarding overseas self-driving car infotainment system prompts and subsequent optimizations, adjusting its security strategy for outbound vehicles. JiKr stated that the "Cross-border Protection" function was officially launched on the JiKr App in the early hours of July 26th. Car owners can quickly obtain verification codes and unlock their vehicles with a single click, simplifying the process and improving response efficiency. Additionally, a "Cross-border Protection function switch" is under development and will be pushed out via OTA. Once the switch is launched, "Cross-border Protection" will be off by default. Before departure, car owners can manually turn it on or off on their mobile devices according to their needs. JiKr emphasized that if car owners actively enable this function, the vehicle infotainment system will display a prompt and some functions will be restricted after leaving the country. At that time, car owners can still unlock their vehicles themselves through the "Cross-border Protection" entry in the App, achieving a balance between "anti-theft protection" and "free passage."Saudi Aramco shares fell 1% in early trading.

Once the RBA minutes are made public, it is anticipated that AUD/NZD will once again test the day's low near 1.1110

The AUD/NZD pair lost its intraday rally after tumbling to roughly 1.1106 during the early session in Tokyo. The Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) minutes' release has weighed on the cross. According to the monetary policy minutes from October, concerns about domestic and international growth risks led to the announcement of a rate increase of 25 basis points (bps), which was less than expected.

 

Additionally, RBA policymakers think the central bank has raised interest rates quickly, which could have an impact on household expenditure.

 

Australia has had the lowest unemployment rate in its economic history, at 3.5% during the past 50 years, thanks to a healthy labor market. While core inflation has remained high because of rising service prices, the drop in oil prices has put downward pressure on headline inflation.

 

Moving forward, attention will be focused on the employment statistics for Australia. The consensus predicts that the Employment Change will drop from 33.5k to 25k. At 3.5%, the unemployment rate won't change.

 

The cross declined in early Tokyo after the announcement of higher-than-expected inflation data for New Zealand. The annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) came in at 7.2%, which was much higher than expected but marginally lower than the 7.3% reported in the prior report. While the quarterly inflation rate came in at 2.2%, exceeding both the 1.6% estimate and the 1.7% reading from the previous quarter, it was below the 1.7% figure from the previous quarter.

 

Given that price pressures have not abated as anticipated, it is now more likely that the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) will continue to raise interest rates at the current pace. 3.5% is the Official Cash Rate (OCR).
