These satellites will be used to explore low Earth orbit-based satellite navigation, supplementing the European Galileo satellite navigation system located in medium Earth orbit. According to a press release from the ESA, the two satellites were launched from the launch site in New Zealand aboard an Electron rocket from Rocket Lab. The two satellites will conduct tests in the L-band and S-band. Subsequent launches in 2027 are planned to complete the Celeste mission with a full complement of 11 satellites in orbit.On March 29th, it was learned from the Beijing Financial Regulatory Bureau that Beijing has taken the lead nationwide in launching the development and application of commercial insurance products for intelligent connected new energy vehicles. The new products largely follow the existing new energy commercial vehicle insurance system, adhering to the principle of "overall stability with partial optimization." They primarily provide risk protection for specific intelligent driving scenarios and software/hardware losses that are of concern to consumers and automakers, and can be uniformly adapted to all levels of intelligent connected new energy vehicles from L2 to L4. For example, existing car insurance products mainly define drivers based on the basic scenario of "human driving," which is not fully applicable to L3 and L4 level "human-machine co-driving" or "machine driving" scenarios. Furthermore, for L2 level assisted driving vehicles, some consumers upgrade their assisted driving systems at their own expense after purchasing a new car, but existing car insurance products do not cover this portion of the loss, requiring further optimization.

The US Dollar Index is trying to regain 109 ahead of US Durable Goods Orders data from Jackson Hole

As traders wait for the day's significant triggers amid a sluggish opening, the US Dollar Index (DXY) continues its rise toward the multi-year high established in July, adding bids to 108.60 in the Asian session on Wednesday.

 

The dollar index dropped from a multi-year high of 109.27 against the six major currencies the day before yesterday. While the present downturn in US data is driving the quote to retreat, the DXY bulls are supported by concerns of an economic slowdown and the US Federal Reserve's (Fed) quick rate hikes.

 

The president of the Minneapolis Fed, Neel Kashkari, was quoted by Reuters as saying that misreading the underlying inflation dynamics is the biggest worry. If the Fed sees inflation creeping closer to their target of 2%, they may slow their rate of rate hikes, according to the official.

 

However, traders in fed funds futures are pricing in a 52.5% chance of a rate hike of 75 basis points (bps) at the upcoming Fed meeting. On Monday, Reuters reported that a rate hike of 50 basis points in September was somewhat more likely than 50 percent.

 

Preliminary readings released on Tuesday by the US S&P Global Manufacturing PMI for August showed a decline to 51.3 from 52.0 expected and 52.2 earlier, while the Services index plunged to 44.1 from 47.3 compared to 49.2 market expectations. As reported by S&P Global, the Composite PMI has fallen to 45, the lowest level in 27 months, signaling a potential crisis for the US economy.

 

In addition, the number of newly constructed homes sold in the United States dropped to 0.511 million in July, down from 0.585 million the previous month and 0.575 million the market had predicted. The US Richmond Fed Manufacturing Index dropped to -8.0 in August from a reading of 0.0 the month before.

 

At press time, US 10-year Treasury rates were lingering at 3.05%, the highest level in a month, despite small advances for the day on Wall Street. S&P 500 Futures have been declining somewhat as of press time, which is notable.

 

DXY volatility may be constrained in the future by the light schedule preceding the North American session. Next, keep an eye on the US Durable Goods Orders for July, which are predicted to rise 0.6% after rising 2.0% in June. As markets try to predict the Fed's next move, Friday's speech by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell at the Jackson Hole conference hosted by the Kansas City Fed will be crucial.

 

DXY bears are threatened by a rising support line that has been in place for two weeks near 108.00, but the buyers won't be convinced until the uptrend is confirmed above 109.30.
