One ruling allows the Trump administration to revoke the temporary protected status of hundreds of thousands of Haitian and Syrian immigrants, depriving them of legal protection against deportation.

Freddie Mac said in a statement Thursday that the average rate for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rose to 6.49% from 6.47% a week earlier. A year ago, the rate was 6.77%. High borrowing costs have been weighing on the housing market; previously, Middle East conflict pushed up energy prices and inflation, leading to higher borrowing costs. This situation, occurring during the peak sales season, has exacerbated anxiety for both buyers and sellers. According to Redfin data, in the week ending June 21, the number of new listings fell 1.7% from the previous week, reaching its lowest level since February. Zillow senior economist Kara Ng said, “Rate rates around 6.5% are still better than a year ago, which continues to provide some support for homebuyers. But this is not enough to make a major breakthrough in improving home affordability.” Zillow expects rates to remain between 6.4% and 6.5% throughout the summer, before gradually falling back to around 6.2% by the end of the year.The United States and Gulf states reiterated that no one will be forced to leave Gaza, and those who wish to leave will be free to return.Market news: Persian Gulf crude oil exports have rebounded to 75% of pre-war levels; the region exported 13 million barrels of crude oil in the three days ending Wednesday.

Price Analysis: NZD/USD Symmetrical Triangle Indicates Decreasing Volatility, US NFP Awaited

The NZD/USD pair is drifting sideways below the immediate resistance level of 0.6480 during the Asian session. The New Zealand dollar has traded sideways as investors await the publication of Caixin Services PMI and United States Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) statistics for fresh impetus.

 

Weak earnings have broken the three-day winning streak of S&P500 futures, which are now displaying significant losses and a risk aversion trend. After a corrective dip, the US Dollar Index (DXY) is aiming to recapture Thursday's high above 101.55 as investors' risk appetite has reduced dramatically.

 

The NZD/USD pair is displaying a chart pattern known as a Symmetrical Triangle, which indicates a significant compression of volatility. The upward-sloping trendline of the chart pattern is taken from the low on January 19 at 0.6365, while the downward-sloping trendline is derived from the high on January 18 at 0.6531. The New Zealand asset saw a dramatic loss on Thursday after failing to find buying support following a breakout, which resulted in a fakeout that kept investors at unsustainable levels.

 

The Relative Strength Index (14) has moved from the bullish region of 60.00-80.00 to the neutral region of 40.00-60.00, indicating that a consolidation is imminent.

 

A decline below the January 31 low of 0.6412 will cause the New Zealand dollar to decline toward the January 17 low of 0.6366 and ultimately the January 12 low of 0.6300.

 

In contrast, for the asset to resume its upward trend, it must surpass Thursday's high of 0.6538, which would catapult it to June 3's high of 0.6576. A breach of this level will expose the asset to the 0.6600 level of resistance.
