DJI stated today (February 24th) that this move aims to protect DJIs legitimate rights and interests, as well as the interests of American consumers and agricultural users who rely on DJI products but are affected by the ban. In its complaint, DJI stated that the FCCs decision has serious procedural and substantive flaws. The FCC placed DJI on the "Controlled List" without providing any substantial evidence that DJI products pose a threat to U.S. national security, which not only violates due process principles but also potentially violates the U.S. Constitution and relevant federal laws.On February 24th, the British Foreign Office issued a statement imposing sanctions on 175 entities within the "2Rivers" network on the fourth anniversary of the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The action also targets Transneft, one of the worlds largest oil pipeline companies, which the UK claims handles over 80% of Russias oil exports. The British Foreign Secretary stated that the UKs decisive action today cuts off key funding, military equipment, and revenue sources supporting Russias aggression, representing the largest sanctions measure since the early stages of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The "2Rivers" network, linked to Azerbaijani traders Aitibar Eyub and Tahir Garayev, continued to transport hundreds of millions of barrels of Russian crude oil despite international sanctions imposed due to the conflict. This offshore network, formerly known as "Coral," expanded rapidly before EU and UK sanctions weakened its operations in 2024. At the time, Garayevs lawyer denied any connection to Transneft or Eyub, stating that he had not been involved in any oil-related business since the end of 2022.

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.
