Computing power is becoming a significant source of new electricity consumption. In August, the peak electricity load of a smart computing center in Changshu, Jiangsu Province, increased by over 70% compared to the same period last year. The peak electricity load of the computing power industry reached 200,000 kilowatts, accounting for approximately 4.1% of the citys total electricity load. The State Grid Changshu Power Supply Company stated that the computing power industry contributed nearly half of the citys increased electricity load, accounting for approximately 49%, reflecting that computing power load is gradually replacing seasonal air conditioning load as the core driver of electricity consumption growth this summer.

DISA stated that passenger traffic reached 13 million in the second quarter, bringing the total for the first half of the year to 31.5 million. Despite a rebound in traffic in May and June, first-half traffic was still 31% lower than the record level set in the same period last year. The war in Iran has led to a global readjustment of air routes, repeatedly disrupting DISA. In May, the airport announced it had postponed its target of 100 million annual passengers by one year due to the significant drop in passenger traffic. Major Middle Eastern airlines Emirates, Qatar Airways, and Etihad Airways have all reduced operations and adjusted their international route networks to accommodate increased travel demand during the war. Several European airlines have also suspended flights to multiple destinations in the region and avoided the airspace of several Gulf states.August 26th - According to the Guangdong Branch of the General Administration of Customs, in the first seven months of this year, the import and export volume of comprehensive bonded zones (including cross-border industrial zones and bonded areas) in Guangdong Province reached 1.05 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 32.3%, setting a new record for the same period in history and surpassing the trillion-yuan mark two months earlier than last year.

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.
