Phil Flynn, senior analyst at Price Futures group: There seems to be some profit-taking in the oil market due to concerns that OPEC will increase production by more than expected.July 5, Swissquote senior market analyst Ipek Ozkardeskaya: The preference for the US dollar is weakening. First, concerns about US debt are rising, and second, the preference for US debt is facing risks. Another reason is that the tariff situation and trade disruptions will have a negative impact on US economic growth, and the Federal Reserve may not be able to support the economy when inflation risks rise.July 5th news: On July 4th local time, a federal judge in the United States briefly halted the Trump administrations plan to deport eight immigrants to South Sudan in order to buy time for their lawyers to state their claims in a Massachusetts court.On July 5, institutional analyst Javier Blas said that OPEC+ representatives are discussing a fourth consecutive increase of 411,000 barrels per day, but there is also the possibility of a "slightly larger" increase. According to the increased UAE quota, OPEC+ will return about 2.5 million barrels per day of production to the market. So far, about 1.4 million barrels per day have been returned (one increase of 138,000 barrels per day and three increases of 411,000 barrels per day). Next, the remaining increase may be divided into three monthly increases (two 411,000 barrels per day and one about 275,000 barrels per day). But it is also possible to accelerate the increase in production and make two increases of about 550,000 barrels per day.French President Emmanuel Macron: Airbus and Malaysia Airlines have reached a "historic" cooperation agreement.

Once the RBA minutes are made public, it is anticipated that AUD/NZD will once again test the day's low near 1.1110

The AUD/NZD pair lost its intraday rally after tumbling to roughly 1.1106 during the early session in Tokyo. The Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) minutes' release has weighed on the cross. According to the monetary policy minutes from October, concerns about domestic and international growth risks led to the announcement of a rate increase of 25 basis points (bps), which was less than expected.

 

Additionally, RBA policymakers think the central bank has raised interest rates quickly, which could have an impact on household expenditure.

 

Australia has had the lowest unemployment rate in its economic history, at 3.5% during the past 50 years, thanks to a healthy labor market. While core inflation has remained high because of rising service prices, the drop in oil prices has put downward pressure on headline inflation.

 

Moving forward, attention will be focused on the employment statistics for Australia. The consensus predicts that the Employment Change will drop from 33.5k to 25k. At 3.5%, the unemployment rate won't change.

 

The cross declined in early Tokyo after the announcement of higher-than-expected inflation data for New Zealand. The annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) came in at 7.2%, which was much higher than expected but marginally lower than the 7.3% reported in the prior report. While the quarterly inflation rate came in at 2.2%, exceeding both the 1.6% estimate and the 1.7% reading from the previous quarter, it was below the 1.7% figure from the previous quarter.

 

Given that price pressures have not abated as anticipated, it is now more likely that the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) will continue to raise interest rates at the current pace. 3.5% is the Official Cash Rate (OCR).
