NASA: Artemis program astronauts have completed half of their lunar mission.According to Irans Mehr News Agency, a missile attack occurred in northern Tehran, resulting in one casualty.On April 4th, it was reported that TrueEV, XPengs exclusive distributor in Australia, entered administration (bankruptcy management) proceedings, drawing attention. XPeng responded that during the past two years of cooperation, it learned through various channels that TrueEV had experienced a broken cash flow and was under the control of its financing party, and had not purchased any vehicles for over a year, failing to fulfill order obligations including 454 cars. TrueEV also had a public business conflict with local dealers, severely damaging the foundation of trust between the two parties. Therefore, in accordance with the cooperation agreement, XPeng formally issued a breach of contract notice to TrueEV, terminating its exclusive distributorship, but retaining its distributorship status. However, TrueEV denied the aforementioned operational problems and instead pursued legal action against XPeng. The Australian court rejected its injunction application on April 1st. XPengs goal going forward is to establish itself in Australia within the next three years as a technology brand that is not only technologically advanced but also trustworthy in terms of user experience.On April 4th, it was reported that the international standard proposal for "DC Filter Capacitors for High Voltage Direct Current Transmission Systems," initiated by my country, was recently approved by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). This standard is the first international standard specifically addressing DC filter capacitors in the field of high voltage direct current transmission, filling a gap in related professional standards. The standard was led by Chinese experts, with participation from experts from Italy, France, Germany, and other countries. The development of this standard will facilitate the sharing of advanced technological concepts of Chinas core high voltage direct current transmission equipment with the world, contributing more Chinese strength to global energy transition and power system upgrading.April 4th - Data released by the General Statistics Office of Vietnam shows that Vietnams economy slowed compared to the previous quarter due to heavy reliance on Middle Eastern oil imports. Vietnams GDP grew by 7.83% in the first quarter, lower than the 8.46% in the fourth quarter of last year. The Vietnamese governments growth target for this year is no less than 10%, but this target is currently under pressure. Vietnam imports over 80% of its crude oil from the Middle East, and oil shipments from the region have been disrupted due to the conflict with Iran. Rising fuel prices have forced Vietnamese airlines to scale back operations and prompted authorities to introduce cost-control measures, including reducing fuel taxes, subsidizing prices through government-controlled funds, and encouraging remote work to reduce consumption.

Sellers in GBP/USD reached 1.0800 in anticipation of BOE speakers and US GDP

Following a two-day recovery from the record low, the pound to dollar exchange rate has accepted offers to re-establish the intraday low near 1.0800. The cable pair is currently consolidating its highest daily gains since the middle of June during Thursday's Asian session.

 

GBP/USD values have taken a hit as of late due to a combination of factors, including a rise in US Treasury bond yields and skepticism about the Bank of England's (BOE) ability to strengthen the British pound. There may be parallels between China's current pessimism and Europe's persistent energy crisis.

 

Vehicle manufacturing in the United Kingdom rose for the fourth consecutive month in August, according to a data from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) distributed by Reuters. However, statistics show that a majority of SMMT members are worried about the future of their company.

 

The People's Bank of China (PBOC) is yet another central bank that protects the local currency, in this case the yuan, alongside the Bank of Japan (BOJ) and the Bank of England (BOE). To protect the yuan from a possible economic downturn brought on by covid-led lockdowns, the PBOC has recently intervened in the market multiple times, and is likely to do so again today.

 

A difficulty for GBP/USD traders is the UK government's refusal to replace UK Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng and its maintenance of his heavily criticized budget proposal.

 

To protect the value of the pound, the Bank of England (BOE) announced a bond-buying program on Wednesday (GBP). According to the provided information, the BOE will first purchase bonds with maturities of over 20 years and up to 5 billion pounds per auction. However, the BOE has said that it will begin purchasing on September 28, meaning that the predefined procedure for selling bonds has been postponed until October 31. Even though the Bank of England had planned to spend $5 billion on its emergency QE program, it later revealed that it had been able to spend only £1.02 billion.

 

The U.S. trade deficit with the rest of the world fell from $90.2 billion in July to $87.3 billion in August, a decline of $2.9 billion. The data shows that March marks the first monthly drop in exports since January, while March also marks the fifth consecutive month of falling imports. According to Reuters, Atlanta Fed president Raphael Bostic said on Wednesday that a rate hike of 75 basis points (bps) in November and a rate hike of 50 bps in December constitute the current baseline assumption. Charles Evans, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, has emphasized the importance of addressing inflation and has tried to resume dollar purchases, but has been unable to do so because of falling yields.

 

The final readings of the US GDP for the second quarter, which are expected to confirm a -0.6% annualized figure, and several speakers from the BOE are forthcoming. To that end, if the US data provides strong results and BOE policymakers delay to convince investors, the GBP/USD could fall even more.
