EU regulators say third parties can provide feedback on EU measures by May 13.EU regulators say the measures will allow users to easily activate competing AI services.On April 28, the union representing employees of the soon-to-be-closed Apple (AAPL.O) store in Towson, Maryland, filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board, accusing the company of illegally discriminating against its employees and refusing to allow them easy relocation to other locations. This store made history in 2022 by becoming the first Apple retail store in the U.S. to form a union. Now, it is one of three Apple stores closing. Apple attributes the closure to "the withdrawal of several retailers and the deteriorating conditions of the shopping center," particularly the mall where the Towson store is located. However, union representatives say that Apples treatment of Towson store employees is worse than in previous similar situations, making it even harder for employees to stay with Apple.Market news: The NATO summit was tense due to the presence of the US president. Some member states hope to slow down the pace, and may even cancel the summit in 2028.On April 28th, the Japanese government held its first expert meeting on the evening of the 27th to advance the revision of the "Three Security Documents," including those concerning national security. The expert meeting will compile relevant recommendations before the end of autumn this year, providing a reference for the Japanese government to complete the revision of the "Three Security Documents" within the year. At the meeting, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi stated that the revision work is a crucial task that will determine the fate of the nation. Japan should enhance its capabilities to respond to "new modes of warfare," prepare for protracted war, and continue to improve its maritime security capabilities, advance cybersecurity, and promote economic security. It is understood that increasing defense spending was one of the topics discussed at the meeting. The Japanese government formally adopted the new "Three Security Documents" at the end of 2022. The documents stipulate that Japans total defense spending will increase to approximately 43 trillion yen (approximately 159 yen to 1 US dollar) from fiscal years 2023 to 2027. Since fiscal year 2023, Japans defense budget has successively exceeded 6 trillion yen, 7 trillion yen, 8 trillion yen, and 9 trillion yen. According to previous disclosures by Japanese authorities, Takashi City attempted to revise the principle of not introducing nuclear weapons, one of the "Three Non-Nuclear Principles," when revising the "Three Security Documents." This move, along with continuously rising defense spending, has sparked concern and discontent across various sectors of Japanese society.

Bulls Face a Wall of Resistance Around 1.0960-1.1000 in the AUD/NZD Price Analysis

The AUD/NZD is ready to recoup some of the week's losses, climbing for the third consecutive day, up a modest 0.13 percent as the Asian Pacific session begins. The AUD/NZD currency pair is trading at 1.0943 at the time of writing.

 

The week's lack of New Zealand data left the AUD/NZD exposed to the Australian economic calendar, which revealed that inflation increased by 5.1 percent year on year, above expectations of 4.6 percent and blowing the headline reading of 3.5 percent. Core inflation increased to its highest level since 2009, 3.7 percent, up from a previous reading of 2.6 percent.

 

Apart from that, sentiment improved throughout the day, and the Asian session reflected the tone on Wall Street. Investors were kept on their toes by China's coronavirus outbreak. Meanwhile, market participants shrugged aside the Ukraine-Russian spat and a weaker-than-expected US growth report as desire for risky assets surged.

 

As a result, the AUD/NZD appreciated last week on anticipation of a May rate hike by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA). Nonetheless, an Australian Federal Election could dissuade the RBA from acting despite a strong inflation report.

Forecasting the AUD/NZD Exchange Rate: A Technical Analysis

The AUD/NZD currency pair's bias is bullish. The pair is in an uptrend as shown by the daily moving averages (DMAs) below the exchange rate. However, Thursday's price action hit strong resistance near 1.0962, a zone that is surrounded by resistance levels between 1.0960 and 1.1000.

 

The AUD/initial NZD's resistance level on the upside would be April's 28 daily high of 1.0962. After clearing 1.0975, the next supply zone would be 1.0998.

 

On the other hand, the first demand zone for the AUD/NZD would be 1.0900. If the pair breaks below 1.0880, it will expose April's 28 swing low at 1.0824, followed by April's 25 swing low at 1.0824.
