Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky lashed out at the U.S. Embassy on April 5, calling its statement "weak" and failing to blame Russia for the missile attack on the Ukrainian city of Krivyh.On April 5, OPEC+ major members reiterated that they must strictly abide by their oil production quotas after the group unexpectedly announced an accelerated pace of production increases, causing crude oil prices to plummet. According to a statement released by the group on its official website on Saturday, the OPEC+ Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee (JMMC) noted that some member countries had failed to fully comply with production restrictions and had not further cut production as promised to make up for excess production. These countries were told to submit compensation plans by April 15. OPEC+ shocked the oil market last week when it announced that it would accelerate production increases. Delegates privately said the move was aimed at urging member countries such as Kazakhstan and Iraq to strengthen enforcement discipline.April 5th news: So far, the strong earthquake in Myanmar has caused 3,455 deaths, 4,840 injuries and 214 missing persons.On April 5, after US President Trump announced the "reciprocal tariff" plan, Apples stock price suffered a heavy blow for two consecutive trading days, and its market value shrank significantly. According to the calculation of investment bank Morgan Stanley, the imposition of tariffs on China will increase Apples costs by about US$8.5 billion each year. Reuters quoted analysts as saying that if Apple passes all tariff costs on to consumers, the retail price of iPhone16 Pro Max in the United States will rise from the current US$1,599 to US$2,300 (about RMB 16,750). During Trumps first term, Apple began to promote the diversification of its supply chain, but the Trump administrations plan to impose high "reciprocal tariffs" on Southeast Asian countries will undoubtedly hit Apples supply chain hard.Ukrainian military: Russian troops used cluster weapons in "brutal" attack on Krivelikh.

The EUR/USD has detected buying activity after trading sideways at 0.9960 throughout the Tokyo session. As the US dollar index (DXY) trades badly at the open, the pair is climbing to reclaim the fabled 1.0000 level. The DXY has fallen to approximately 108.50 after experiencing selling pressure close to 108.50.

 

The contrasting reactions of market players to Federal Reserve (Fed) chair Jerome Powell's remarks on interest rate guidance at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium have perplexed investors. The DXY is volatile due to two schools of thought regarding the Fed's stance on interest rates following a decline in the private sector.

 

As a result of the Fed's aggressive interest rate rises, PMI numbers have decreased dramatically. As a result, one school of thought contends that the Fed should slow down because a decline in economic activity could hurt the confidence of the private sector. In addition, the second school of thought favors maintaining the existing rate of interest rate hikes, as price stability is the primary objective.

 

On the Eurozone front, the probability of a German energy crisis is rising as the energy-supplying Nord Stream 1 pipeline from the Baltic Sea to Germany undergoes unscheduled maintenance over the last three days of August. During a time when the German energy market is already suffering supply difficulties, new supply constraints may cause energy prices to skyrocket.
