U.S. federal judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers previously ruled that Apple violated a 2021 court order by failing to open up external payment options for the App Store.May 3, Apple (AAPL.O) was downgraded by at least two institutions on May 2 after the companys quarterly results heightened investors concerns about tariffs and its growth potential. Jefferies downgraded the stock to "underperform," becoming one of the rare institutions that is bearish on the iPhone maker. Analyst Edison Lee wrote that while the results were in line with expectations, "the impact of tariffs will expand over time, further depressing corporate earnings expectations." In addition, Rosenblatt Securities analyst Barton Crockett downgraded the stock from "buy" to "neutral."May 3, KCNA published a military commentators article titled "The U.S. troop surge will be an unwise choice to further increase domestic security uncertainty." The article said that the simulated interception of enemy intercontinental ballistic missiles at the Fort Greely military base in Alaska was recently made public with the U.S. Army Secretary in attendance. This training is essentially an offensive military action that treats a nuclear war with North Korea as a fait accompli. If the United States does not pursue a nuclear war with North Korea, North Koreas strategic nuclear forces will not be aimed at the U.S. mainland, let alone the so-called "interception."On May 3, the cross-regional flow of people in the whole society was about 290 million on May 2, a year-on-year increase of 3%. Among them, the railway passenger flow continued to remain above 19 million after setting a new single-day high on May 1, and the proportion of medium and short-distance passenger flow increased. The cross-border passenger flow of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong High-Speed Railway increased by more than 10% year-on-year, and the Beijing-Tianjin Intercity Railway sent more than 180,000 passengers per day, with 6 additional double-unit and peak-time trains.On May 3, the Federal Aviation Administration said it was investigating the incident in which two planes were asked to go around due to a military helicopter flying near Reagan Washington Airport on May 1.

Previously, the two planes were forced to abort their landing on May 1 due to the appearance of a US Army helicopter heading to the Pentagon.

AUD/USD falls to approximately 0.67 as a result of less hawkish RBA minutes

As a result of the publication of minutes from the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) that were less hawkish, the AUD/USD pair has declined to near 0.6705. Given that inflation was still too high, the labor market was constrained, and business surveys indicated robust activity, the Board reaffirmed that additional policy tightening would likely be required. The RBA policymakers viewed a 25 basis point (bps) rate increase as the only viable option for March's monetary policy.

 

Investors should be aware that RBA Governor Philip Lowe raised the Official Cash Rate by 25 basis points to 3.60 percent for the fifth consecutive time. In addition, it was the RBA's eleventh consecutive increase in interest rates to combat persistent inflation.

 

Recent optimistic Australian employment data indicate that the fight against persistent inflation is extremely complicated and that RBA policymakers are still required to make challenging decisions in times of inflation uncertainty and global banking collapse concerns.

 

In the Asian session, S&P500 futures have extended Monday's gains as investors disregard concerns over the Federal Reserve's (Fed) impending monetary policy, indicating a further improvement in market participants' risk appetite.

 

The US Dollar Index (DXY) has remained relatively stable around 103.30 as investors anticipate a less hawkish monetary policy and interest rate guidance. Fed Chair Jerome Powell is required to restore investor confidence following the failure of three midsize commercial banks in the United States. This could be accomplished through minor adjustments to interest rate policy.

 

In the interim, the demand for U.S. government bonds has weakened further as inflation expectations have risen as a result of the collaborative effort of various central banks to support commercial banks by providing liquidity assistance in the form of US dollars. This has led to higher yields on US Treasury bonds. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note has risen to 3.5%.
