On November 24th, Mexican President Jacques Sinbaum stated on the 23rd that the Mexican people must remain vigilant, uphold justice, and resist any attempt at external interference. Sinbaum pointed out that history shows "those who use violence as a means of coercion will not succeed, those who believe that a minority can suppress the people will not succeed," and similarly, "those who use force to stifle reason will not succeed." On November 17th, US President Trump announced his readiness to send troops to combat drug cartels. Sinbaum refuted this the following day, stating that US military intervention on Mexican territory was impossible.On November 24th, international crude oil prices continued their downward trend on Monday, falling further after last weeks largest weekly drop since early October. Traders are assessing the potential impact of a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia—an agreement that, if reached, could flood an already well-supplied market with more crude oil. Oil traders are closely watching three key developments: whether the peace agreement will be implemented, whether sanctions against Russia will be gradually lifted, and whether these developments will inject additional supply into a market already expected to experience a severe oversupply next year. With OPEC+ and other oil-producing countries (particularly in the Americas) continuing to increase production, this market outlook is destined to result in a year-to-date decline for oil prices.On November 24th, Minmetals Resources (01208.HK) announced on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that its obligation to complete the acquisition of Anglo Americans Brazilian nickel business was subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain preconditions.

AUD/NZD strengthens above 1.0800 as focus shifts to RBA Lowe's speech and RBNZ policy

In the early Tokyo session, the AUD/NZD pair is displaying inventory accumulation between 1.0810 and 1.0830. Investors have shifted their focus to Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Governor Philip Lowe's speech, which has caused the asset to swing unpredictably. The primary impetus for the cross will be the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's (RBNZ) interest rate decision on Wednesday.

 

Investors await the RBA policymaker's speech in order to get an informed opinion. The speech will include interest rate suggestions to counteract the exceptional increase in inflationary pressures. Third-quarter inflation hit 7.3%, compelling the Australian central bank to lift its price growth projection to 8%. To preserve healthy economic prospects and achieve price stability, the RBA maintained its rate hike timetable at 25 basis points (bps).

 

On the kiwi front, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's (RBNZ) monetary policy statement will deepen policy divergence between the RBNZ and the RBA. Governor Adrian Orr of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) has already announced five consecutive rate hikes of 50 basis points (bps) to a current level of 3.5 percent and has no plans to pause rate hikes despite rising inflationary pressures.

 

The Official Cash Rate (OCR) will climb by 75 basis points (bps) this time, according to a Reuters survey of the RBNZ's rate hike estimates. A comparable scenario would cause the OCR to increase to 4.25 percent and depart significantly from the RBA's policy structure.

 

The decision may boost the New Zealand Dollar in the future, but reduces the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's room for future rate increases. In addition, additional economic dynamics requirements will be shifted into the future.
