On April 6, Ali Velayati, foreign affairs advisor to Irans Supreme Leader, warned the United States on April 5 that if it "makes another mistake," the Iranian-led resistance front would retaliate by blocking the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Velayati posted on social media that day: "Today, the unified command of the resistance front views the Bab el-Mandeb Strait as much as the Strait of Hormuz. If the White House makes another foolish mistake, it will soon realize that with just one move, global energy and trade flows can be disrupted."The yield on Japans 20-year government bonds rose to 3.325%.On April 6, a Democratic member of the U.S. House of Representatives warned that U.S. military action in Iran is making the American people "less safe," while also describing Trumps recent profanity-laden rhetoric as "insanity." Jim McGovern, the highest-ranking Democrat on the House Rules Committee, wrote, "When the United States violates international humanitarian law, we are inviting other countries to follow suit. This makes us all unsafe." He noted that international human rights law experts are "raising alarms about U.S. actions in war," including serious violations of the Geneva Conventions and international law, as well as possible "war crimes." In another post, McGovern also described Trumps recent threats as utterly insane and extremely dangerous. "This is simply insanity. The President of the United States needs treatment."On April 6th, following the "Science and Technology Exchange Connect" initiative, the Shenzhen Branch of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange launched another foreign exchange facilitation measure, the "Science and Technology Salary Connect" pilot program. This program focuses on providing convenient two-way foreign exchange services for the salaries of employees of key state-supported units such as high-quality enterprises, universities, and research institutions. This facilitates the cross-border flow of talent in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and supports the construction of Shenzhen as an international science and technology innovation center. It is understood that qualified employees can, through public-private partnerships with their employers, avoid submitting or repeatedly submitting documents when processing salary purchase and settlement transactions at pilot banks. This model integrates relevant foreign exchange facilitation policies, leverages corporate credit enhancement, and significantly improves the efficiency and convenience of cross-border salary processing for employees with foreign work experience, providing high-quality foreign exchange services to support Shenzhens talent attraction efforts.April 6 - Israels Homeland Defense Command announced early this morning that it had detected missiles launched from Iran towards Israel and was attempting to intercept them.

NZD/USD falls further below the 0.5800 level and nears the weekly low in response to USD strength

The 0.5835-0.5840 range attracts sellers on Thursday, as the NZD/USD pair declines for a second consecutive session. During the opening minutes of the European day, spot prices fall below the 0.5800 mark and appear poised to extend the overnight post-FOMC decline from the highest level since September 20.

 

In the preceding hour, the US dollar reversed an intraday fall and soared to a one-and-a-half-week high, which is regarded as the principal factor exerting downward pressure on the NZD/USD pair. Wednesday, the US central bank hinted at a future policy shift, but Fed Chair Jerome Powell dashed dovish hopes. Powell remarked that it was premature to consider a stop in the rate-hiking cycle and that the final rate will exceed expectations.

 

Powell's hawkish remarks indicate that the Fed will continue to raise interest rates to combat inflation. Recent increases in US Treasury bond yields continue to strengthen the dollar. Moreover, a reduced risk tone gives additional support for the safe-haven dollar and weighs on the risk-averse New Zealand dollar. Concerns about economic headwinds stemming from quickly rising borrowing prices and China's zero-COVID policy have a depressing effect on the market sentiment.

 

The underlying environment appears to overwhelmingly favor USD bulls, suggesting that the path of least resistance for the NZD/USD pair is down. Some selling below the weekly low, below 0.5775, will underline the negative outlook and pave the way for fresh near-term decline. Ahead of Friday's NFP report, market experts predict that the US ISM Services PMI will give early North American session impetus.
