On September 6th, U.S. Energy Secretary Frank Wright stated on Sunday that U.S. Navy escort ships are assisting oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, which is crucial for maintaining crude oil transport in the waterway, and hinted that the escort operation will not end anytime soon. Wright stated, "We are ensuring a large number of ships pass through, but this certainly requires the involvement of the U.S. military. Iran is still causing trouble, but the U.S. Navy is winning this battle." Wright claimed that more than 9 million barrels of oil are currently being transported daily through the Strait of Hormuz, and with more crude oil and refined products being transported via pipelines and other means, oil transport in the region has recovered to "two-thirds or more of pre-conflict levels." Last week, Wright stated that approximately 17 million barrels of oil passed through the Strait of Hormuz on Monday. Wright believes that with the end of the summer driving season and adjustments to the governments federal blending policy to increase supply, the price of unleaded gasoline may decline.SpaceX (SPCX.O): Confirmed that 27 Starlink satellites have been deployed in orbit.According to the Lebanese National News Agency, an Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon has injured several people.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: If Iran attacks us, we will suffer unimaginable damage.

NZD/USD Price Analysis: Protects NZ Inflation-Induced Support Break; 0.6140 in Sight

During the mid-Asian session on Thursday, NZD/USD bears maintain control at the lowest levels in five weeks while defending New Zealand (NZ) losses caused by inflation near 0.6160. This justifies not only the weaker-than-anticipated New Zealand inflation, but also the recent break of one-month-old horizontal support, which is now immediate resistance, as well as the bearish MACD signals.

 

As measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) policy purists were unpleasantly surprised by New Zealand's (NZ) first-quarter (Q1) inflation. Despite this, the Quarter-over-Quarter change in the New Zealand Consumer Price Index (CPI) decreases from 1.7% and 1.4%, respectively, to 1.2%.

 

Following the publication of disappointing data, the NZD/USD pair breached a one-month-old horizontal support level, which is now acting as a barrier near 0.6170. The bearish MACD signals are now directing NZD/USD traders toward a horizontal support level that has been in place for 1.5 months and is located near 0.6140.

 

If the NZD/USD bears remain dominant above 0.6140, the 2023 low of 0.6085 cannot be ruled out.

 

The 200-day simple moving average hurdle of 0.6220 becomes crucial for NZD/USD investors to return.

 

If the NZD/USD pair remains above 0.6220, a run up to the previous weekly high around 0.6315 and then to the monthly high of 0.6386 cannot be ruled out.
