Berenberg: Raised Oracle (ORCL.N) target price to $306 from $202.September 15th news: In the early morning of September 15th local time, Yemeni Houthi armed spokesman Yahya Saraya issued a video statement on the social platform saying that the Houthi armed forces launched a total of 4 drones to attack 2 Israeli targets, of which 3 drones attacked Israel’s second largest airport-Ramon Airport, and another drone attacked Israeli military targets in the Negev region.On September 15th, if the Bank of England halts its active sales of gilts at a key decision this week, British Chancellor of the Exchequer Reeves will need to raise an additional £4 billion (US$5.4 billion) to keep his budget on track. In addition to Thursdays interest rate decision, the Bank of England will also announce the pace of reduction in its crisis-era quantitative easing bond portfolio over the next 12 months—a potentially daunting challenge for Reeves as he prepares to deliver the budget on November 26th. Since the Bank of Englands gilt holdings are currently losing money, a decision to slow the pace of reduction would increase the burden on British taxpayers. This would be a significant blow to Reeves, who already needs to raise £35 billion after rising borrowing costs, a weak growth outlook, and a series of sharp policy shifts that have depleted fiscal buffers. The Bank of England faces a dilemma: balancing the fiscal costs of slowing gilt sales with the risk of exacerbating financial market instability by continuing to ask investors for large-scale bond purchases. This month, the yield on 30-year gilts hit its highest level since 1998.Hong Kong-listed Yaojie Ankang-B (02617.HK) rose more than 50% in the afternoon and is now trading at HK$284 per share, having plummeted 18% in early trading.On September 15th, a policy document to further promote the development of private investment was being prepared for release. Several measures will further expand the space for private investment and break down various hidden barriers that restrict private investment. Among them, minimum requirements for private investment participation will be set for major projects in areas such as railways, nuclear power, and oil and gas pipelines. This will be a key measure to break down industry barriers to entry and hidden monopolies.

Market Internals (FTSE)


Our research did not fare well in yesterday's price movement. All of Tuesday's gains were reversed as prices pulled back to (and fell under) the 7575 support level. Nonetheless, it maintained above Tuesday's low and recouped around two-thirds of the day's losses, forming a hammer candle at the closing. A break of the low confirms the formation as a 1-bar bearish reversal (hanging man), whilst a break of the high confirms the formation as a bullish hammer.

The Fed's weight continues to bear down on commodity currencies.


At the moment, we appear to be witnessing a lot of countertrend movements in the currency markets. Commodity FX has continued to retreat from highs as it becomes clear that the RBA and RBNZ are following the Fed's hawkish path, with the AUD and NZD among the weakest majors today.


AUD/USD has reversed all of this week's gains and is on the verge of forming a bearish pinbar at present levels. The week's high failed to break through the upper Keltner channel, and a quick look at lower timeframe momentum implies the week might be closed at present levels. But it doesn't rule out the possibility of a rally ahead of a lower-level breach.
