US President Trump: Americans are paying higher gasoline prices, but its a "very cheap price" relative to what the US has achieved.On September 17, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) announced a 25 basis point increase in its benchmark interest rate to 4.25%. This is the first adjustment to the benchmark interest rate by the HKMA since 2023, ending a period of interest rate stability. This rate hike is a direct response to the Federal Reserves policy change on the same day. The HKMA stated explicitly that following the Feds policy is to maintain the Hong Kong dollars peg to the US dollar. Under this system, the Hong Kong dollar is pegged to the US dollar, and Hong Kongs monetary policy must be linked to the US to ensure exchange rate stability. Despite the increase in the benchmark interest rate, the market remains cautious about the actual changes in local credit costs in Hong Kong. As is customary, major Hong Kong banks typically announce their own interest rate adjustment plans later that day after the HKMAs adjustment, with changes to the prime lending rate being particularly crucial.Multiple explosions were heard in Kyiv, Ukraine, in the early hours of September 17 local time.US President Trump: (Regarding Iran) I predict the war will end soon, and the government has transformed the United States from a “dark age” to a “golden age.”September 17th - US President Trump: "That war? That war will be over soon. Just watch. You just watch. Trump is right about everything. You just watch. They are being destroyed. They (Iran) very much want a deal. They call and say, We want a deal!"

AUD/USD Price Analysis: Bears Struggle with 100-SMA Support Below 0.7000

AUD/USD sellers hit critical short-term support around 0.6960 as traders attempt to reduce the largest daily loss in a week ahead of Australia's important employment report on Thursday.

 

Nevertheless, the AUD/USD pair is currently trading at a confluence of the 100-HMA and a weekly rising trend line at 0.6960.

 

In light of the bearish MACD indications and the lack of a rebound from the aforementioned support line, AUD/USD sellers are expected to maintain control.

 

For the bear to return, however, a convincing downside breach of the 0.6960 support confluence is required. The focus will then go to the 0.6900 mark and the monthly low near 0.6830.

 

Until the AUD/USD crosses a two-week-long horizontal resistance zone between 0.7040 and 0.7060, a rebound will remain elusive.

 

In the event that AUD/USD goes over 0.7060, several May highs near 0.7135-40 may provide support for bulls.
