The President of the Council of the European Union: The Council of the European Union and the European Parliament have just reached a provisional agreement on the implementation of two regulations on EU tariff reductions as outlined in the EU-US Joint Declaration.Futures News, May 20th: Domestic supply remains at a low level, and inventories at major ports are expected to continue to decline. However, downstream orders are weak, demand is insufficient, and there are many unstable factors in the Middle East. Oil prices have weakened from their high levels, and the diethylene glycol market may continue to be under pressure in the short term, with downstream buyers remaining cautious.On May 20th, according to foreign media reports, most soybean meal futures contracts on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) fell on Tuesday, with the benchmark contract closing down 0.7%, mainly pressured by profit-taking by long positions. The most actively traded July contract traded between $330.7 and $338.2. Last week, soybean meal futures surged, reaching their highest level since October 2024, and the technical pattern is now severely overbought, indicating a potential correction. EU data shows that as of May 17th, EU soybean imports for the 2025/26 marketing year totaled 11.6 million tons, down 8% year-on-year; soybean meal imports totaled 15.7 million tons, down 7% year-on-year.The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre reports a magnitude 5 earthquake in southern Iran.On May 20th, according to Axios News, a White House official stated that Trump will attend the G7 leaders meeting in France in June to discuss issues such as artificial intelligence, trade, and combating crime. It is customary for US leaders to attend the annual summit, but his attendance was not previously certain due to Trumps growing dissatisfaction with the failure of G7 members such as the UK, France, Germany, and Italy to align with him on the Iran war. The White House official stated that the G7 meeting will not produce any actual signed agreements, but rather seek to lay a foundation for future agreements. Trumps birthday falls on June 14th, during the G7 meeting, when he will turn 80. While the Iran issue is likely to be on the agenda, Trump hopes to discuss business issues. French President Macron, who has repeatedly been the target of Trumps criticisms, is reportedly trying to appease the US president by hosting a lavish post-meeting dinner at Versailles. It remains unclear whether Trump plans to attend the dinner.

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.
