July 12th - The clearing out of securities brokers may be accelerating. Industry sources indicate varying degrees of enforcement regarding broker elimination. Some local bureaus emphasize standardized elimination processes but lack a unified timetable; regulators will subsequently review the compliance of these processes. Data shows that the number of brokers in the securities industry has decreased by nearly 12,000 since 2025. As early as 2024, regulators conveyed that securities firms should adapt to the transformation towards wealth management and gradually eliminate brokers. Currently, some leading securities firms have largely completed this process, while smaller firms still have a significant number of brokers. Some securities firms have stated that they will accelerate the elimination process by combining leading practices, regulatory guidance, and industry trends, but will adopt a stable approach, such as not renewing contracts upon expiration and performance-based layoffs. They will also simultaneously adjust traditional commission-dependent models to align with the wealth management transformation. During the elimination process, qualified brokers can be transferred to formal positions such as wealth managers or investment advisors. Regarding potential customer attrition, industry insiders believe that given the overall industry is in a broker elimination phase, the overall impact of customer loss will be minimal, with only some regions potentially experiencing minor disruptions.Iraqi government spokesperson: The Iraqi prime minister will sign several oil and gas memorandums of understanding during his visit to Washington.Iraqi government spokesperson: The Iraqi prime minister will travel to Washington on Monday.According to a Wall Street Journal survey, the probability of a U.S. recession has fallen to 25%, down from 33% in April.According to a Wall Street Journal survey, economists expect U.S. GDP to grow by 2.1% this year, up from 2% in the April survey.

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.
