White House official: US President Trump plans to sign a proclamation to establish a "Homecoming Program" to encourage illegal immigrants to leave the United States voluntarily.On May 10, Kevin Warsh, who is considered a potential candidate for next years Federal Reserve Chairman, said that the Feds concerns about "tariff increases that may hinder inflation control" are self-destructive. Warsh said: "When the Fed asserts that inflation will be affected by external changes in price levels, then they are, to some extent, admitting something that is detrimental to their own interests. They are admitting that their credibility has been damaged." Warsh also pointed out that the large and often expanding Federal Reserve balance sheet may conflict with the main policy lever for setting short-term borrowing rates, but "if the printing press can be quiet, we can lower the policy interest rate."On May 10, Atlanta Fed President Bostic said that the uncertainty fog of the Trump administrations tariffs and other policies has brought the economy to a "big pause", and households and businesses have not made major investments. He suggested that the Fed should stay put until the situation becomes clearer. Bostic said: "The specific location of the economy will depend largely on the details of the policy implementation. Because we dont know it yet, this is why I think it would be imprudent to take any policy direction too boldly at this time."On May 10, Israeli Defense Minister Katz said on the 9th that Israel will respond "strongly" to the missile attack by the Houthi armed forces in Yemen. Katz said that the Houthi armed forces continue to launch missiles at Israel. Israel "will respond strongly in Yemen and wherever necessary." Earlier on the 9th, the Israel Defense Forces stated that the Israeli Air Force intercepted a missile fired by the Houthi armed forces at Israel that day.Polish central bank official Litwiniuk: Autumn may be a good time to promote a "robust adjustment" of interest rates. The total change in interest rates this year may reach 125 basis points.

The AUD/USD has dropped from its monthly high at 0.6990 due to poor Australian PMIs and a rebound in the DXY

After retesting the monthly high earlier in the day, the AUD/USD continued to slide in Friday's Asian trading. It drops back down to where it started the day, at 0.6916. Recent declines in the Aussie pair may be attributable to the poor prints of Australia's flash readings of S&P Global PMIs for July. The resurgence of the US dollar in the face of pessimistic attitude also affects the pair.

 

S&P Global Manufacturing PMI for Australia dropped to 55.7 in July from 56.2 in June and the 56.4 forecast. Additionally, the S&P Global Services PMI dropped to 50.4 during the mentioned month, which was below the 55.0 consensus and the 52.6 readings seen previously. Moreover, the S&P Global Composite PMI has dropped from 52.6 in prior readings to 50.6 today.

 

Conversely, as risk aversion returns to the market, the US Dollar Index (DXY) is gaining bids and is on track to revisit its intraday high at 106.70, up 0.12% on the day. It's worth remembering that the DXY dropped the day before because it was pegged to US Treasury rates, and that the benchmark 10-year bond coupons had their worst daily loss since mid-June.

 

The yield drop might be the result of a number of factors, including the European Central Bank's (ECB) surprise rate hike of 50 basis points (bps) and the implementation of a new tool known as the Transmission Protection Instrument (TPI) to manage irrational market dynamics in the area.

 

Additionally, the Nord Stream 1 pipeline from Russia restarting its gas exports to Europe boosted market sentiment and aided AUD/USD purchasers the day before.

 

In light of this, Wall Street benchmarks ended the day stronger and the 10-year Treasury rates for the US Treasury had their greatest daily decline in five weeks. However, as of the time of publication, S&P 500 Futures are down 0.50 percent.

 

The ECB's decision to limit the market's confidence as well as long-standing worries about a recession and COVID are the sources of the most recent dip in mood.

 

Nevertheless, the risk-off attitude may affect the AUD/USD pricing going ahead. However, pessimistic predictions for the US PMIs in July give purchasers reason for optimism.
