On July 3, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Novak instructed relevant departments and enterprises to develop specific measures to stabilize fuel supplies in the regions most severely affected by the situation. TASS reported on July 2 that Novak stated Russia has sufficient fuel reserves to meet domestic market demand, but panic buying has led to a 20% to 30% increase in demand. Shortages at some gas stations are due to adjustments in the logistics of refineries distribution to specific oil depots and gas stations, and readjusting the logistics system will take time. He also indicated that Russia may implement a short-term diesel export ban to ensure domestic supply.The China Earthquake Networks Center officially reported that a 6.2-magnitude earthquake occurred at 10:31 a.m. on July 3 in the sea area near Halmahera Island, Indonesia (1.85 degrees north latitude, 127.40 degrees east longitude), with a focal depth of 120 kilometers.July 3rd - On Friday, the dollar was on track for its biggest weekly drop in nearly three months after a weak June jobs report delayed market expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike, giving the weak yen some breathing room. The sharp slowdown in U.S. job growth in June prompted traders to lower their expectations for a near-term Fed rate hike, with the market now pricing in a 52% chance of a rate hike at the September meeting, down from 64% the previous trading day. U.S. Treasury yields also retreated from earlier highs, with the two-year Treasury yield ending a three-day winning streak. "Marginally, this data is dovish, helping to ease concerns about an overheated labor market and the need for more aggressive policy tightening," said Sim Moh Siong, FX strategist at OCBC Bank. However, he added that as long as expectations of Fed tightening remain unchanged, the overall outlook for the dollar remains constructive, especially against lower-yielding currencies.GFZ (German Center for Geosciences): A 6.3-magnitude earthquake has struck Halmahera, Indonesia.Kuaishou (01024.HK) shares fell during trading, after rising more than 6% in early trading.

AUD/USD However, 0.6700 is the key to the upside

In the early hours of Tuesday morning in Asia, the AUD/USD receives bids near 0.6650 to recover recent losses. In doing so, the Aussie pair recovers from the lowest levels in two weeks while reversing course from the horizontal support that has been in place for 12 days around 0.6620.

 

Nonetheless, imminent bearish MACD signals and a stable RSI indicate that the AUD/USD pair will continue to decline.

 

The convergence of the 10-day moving average and the support-turned-resistance line from March 10, close to the round number 0.6700, may also threaten the most recent price recovery.

 

Even if the AUD/USD bulls are able to surpass 0.6700, the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the pair's February-March decline, located around 0.6805, will serve as the final line of defense for the bears.

 

Alternately, a break below 0.6620 could initiate a new decline aiming for the Year-to-Date (YTD) low established in February around 0.6565.

 

Notably, the AUD/USD pair's decline beyond 0.6565 confronts multiple obstacles to the south, including the highs for October 2022 near 0.6545 and 0.6520.

 

After that, a decline to the November 2022 low of approximately 0.6275 cannot be ruled out.

 

Regardless of the recent corrective rally, the AUD/USD remains on the radar of skeptics.
