The Associated Press, citing a State Department official, reported that this move was a reciprocal response to Brazils actions. The US government had repeatedly delayed taking action, giving Brazilian President Lula room to maneuver, but Lula did not change his position. If Brazil takes appropriate action and accepts the US ambassador nominee, the US can quickly withdraw the measure.The documents show that Berkshire Hathaway sold 182,980 shares of DeWitt stock at an average price of $199.55 per share, and still holds approximately 28.7 million shares of DeWitt stock.August 5th - According to the Financial Times, the Trump administration has paid out approximately $100 billion in tariff refunds since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that its use of emergency powers to impose tariffs on trading partners was invalid.

NZD/USD finds support near 0.6220; a decline appears more probable due to China's Covid concerns

China's anti-Covid shutdown protests have weakened commodity-linked currencies, resulting in a gap-down start of roughly 0.6220 for the NZD/USD pair. During the previous week, the New Zealand dollar dropped after failing to surpass the round-level barrier of 0.6300.

 

Individuals have taken to the streets in China to demonstrate their opposition against the zero-tolerance policy, leading to a rise in civil unrest. Due to Chinese leader Xi Jinping's conservative posture and authoritarian framework, global markets have become more risk-averse. This has created an economic expansion risk and may worsen the already shaky housing market. Increasing apprehensions about societal risks may also result in political instability, which may have long-lasting detrimental effects on economic structure.

 

Notably, New Zealand is one of China's most important trading partners, and instability in China could damage the New Zealand Dollar.

 

In the meantime, the US Dollar Index (DXY) is profiting from investors' liquidity as the demand for safe-haven assets surges. The USD Index is hovering around 106.20 and attempting to reduce volatility as China's anti-locking protests restrict the upside and predictions of a slowdown in the Federal Reserve's larger rate hike cycle limit the downside (Fed).

 

S&P500 futures are under heavy pressure from market players due to a risk-averse market mentality. In anticipation of Fed chief Jerome Powell's address on Wednesday, yields on 10-year US Treasuries have decreased to approximately 3.68 percent. The Fed Chair's speech could dispel suspicions about a pause to the Fed's current rate-hiking program.
