On September 14th, US media reported on the 13th that FBI Director Kash Patel was questioned for mistakenly announcing a "suspect in custody" in the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a political ally of US President Trump. Following the shooting on the 10th, local police in Utah quickly arrested one person, and Patel announced the arrest on social media. However, it was later confirmed that police had arrested the wrong person, with the shooter still at large. Patel will face questioning from lawmakers about this case and broader issues at a congressional hearing next week.On September 14th, five US F-35 fighter jets were spotted landing in Puerto Rico on Saturday, just as Trump ordered an additional 10 stealth fighter jets to the Caribbean last week to combat drug cartels and address tensions with Venezuela.

The NZD/USD pair has encountered selling pressure while attempting to surpass the immediate resistance level of 0.6260. The asset has seen bids after the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) announced inflation estimates at 3.07 percent, down from 3.29 percent previously. It could be an indication of waning price pressure, but additional evidence is still needed to support the argument.

 

Price pressures in the New Zealand economy are increasing and have not yet shown signs of weariness. A June report indicates that an inflation rate of 7.3% is adequate to generate headwinds for families. The RBNZ is consistently escalating its policy tightening measures to combat the same. RBNZ Governor Adrian Orr has already increased the Official Cash Rate by 2.50 percentage points.

 

On the front of the US dollar, the US dollar index (DXY) has returned all intraday gains and is currently trading near the day's open at 106.60. While attempting to break over the crucial resistance level of 106.80, the DXY has encountered selling pressure. This week, investors' attention is centered on Wednesday's release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI).

 

The annual inflation rate is projected to continue at 8.7 percent, down from 9.1 percent in the previous report. Oil prices have been on a downward trend in July, which may be the determining factor for a significant decline in the price increase index. While the US CPI excluding volatile food and oil prices may increase from 5.9 percent to 6.1 percent, the previous reading was 5.9 percent.
