British Defense Secretary Healy: We have eight fighter jets in Qatar.On March 10, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy posted on his official social media platform that the priorities and full attention of Ukraines partner countries are currently focused on the situation in the Middle East, therefore the meeting originally scheduled for this week at the suggestion of the United States has been postponed. Zelenskyy stated that he held a meeting with the Ukrainian negotiating team that day and instructed them to communicate with the US negotiating representatives: firstly, to reaffirm Ukraines willingness to engage in strategic cooperation on security issues, particularly in the defense of drones; and secondly, to reaffirm Ukraines willingness to undertake substantive work to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict.California Governor Newsom: Are Americans who tout "historically low" oil prices but call those worried about a war with Iran driving up prices "fools"? Trump is a liar with no plan, and he is letting the American people down.On March 10th, US President Trump stated that the US does not rule out the possibility of obtaining oil from Iran. Meanwhile, US officials stated that the war "is aimed at stripping Iran of its nuclear weapons and weakening its deterrent so that it no longer poses a threat to the United States or its Middle Eastern neighbors." Trump stated that he did not want to discuss whether he wanted the US to seize Iranian oil, but added, "Of course, people have talked about it." He referred to Venezuela, where the US launched a raid in January to capture its leader, Maduro. Since then, the Trump administration has taken steps to acquire and develop Venezuelas oil reserves. In his State of the Union address last month, Trump stated that the US had obtained more than 80 million barrels of oil from Venezuela. "Look at Venezuela," Trump said, "People have been thinking about it, but its too early to talk about it now."Standard & Poors Global Ratings stated that the Middle East wars have exacerbated the pressure on the European chemical industry.

AUDUSD fluctuates near 0.6670 support as higher Treasury yields bolster US Dollar rebound

AUDUSD stalls at 0.6690 following a two-day decline as bears seek fresh signals to end a four-week uptrend. Friday's light economic calendar offers a challenge for sellers of the Australian dollar throughout the Asian trading session. Notwithstanding, the US Dollar's recovery, aided by increased Treasury yields, mixes with the market's pessimistic outlook to keep pair sellers upbeat.

 

US Dollar Index (DXY) appears to be recovering from a three-month low hit earlier in the week, as a result of recent assertive words from US Federal Reserve (Fed) officials and better top-tier data from the United States. The dollar disregards Thursday's conflicting secondary numbers as a result.

 

The solid Retail Sales and Producer Price Index (PPI) numbers for the month of October appeared to favor Fed hawks. However, James Bullard, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, remarked on Thursday that the US Federal Reserve's (Fed) monetary policy is not now deemed restrictive enough to reduce inflation. Neel Kashkari, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, issued his most recent comments along the same vein. The Federal Reserve's Kashkari stated, "With inflation still high and monetary policy tightening already underway, it is unknown how high the US central bank will have to raise its policy rate."

 

In terms of data, the US Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index declined to -19.4, compared to -6.2 market estimates and -8.8 previously. In addition, Housing Starts decreased by 4.2% month-over-month in October, following a 1.3% decline in September, and Building Permits decreased by 2.4%, compared to a 1.4% increase the previous month. In addition, Jobless Claims decreased to 222K for the week ending November 11 compared to the 225K predicted and upwardly revised 226K the previous week.

 

Domestically, Australia's Employment Change increased by 32,2K versus 15K market forecasts and 0.9K previously, while the Unemployment Rate decreased to 3.4% from 3.5% previously and 3.5% forecasts. Especially with the publication of the solid Wage Price Index, the employment data gained a boost in their ability to attract buyers. However, it appears that previous dovish remarks from Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) officials have kept AUDUSD purchasers on the board.

 

In addition, elevated tensions between Russia and Ukraine as a result of missile strikes against Poland and growing Covid counts in China weighed on market sentiment and the risk-barometer pair.

 

Wall Street ended in the red, echoing sentiment, while 10-year Treasury yields rose from a six-week low.

 

A lack of significant data/events could allow bears to catch their breath, but risk-averse sentiment and hawkish Fed concerns could drive the AUDUSD price close to the weekly loss.
