Li Ning (02331.HK): The company will hold a board meeting on August 21 to approve the interim results.Goldman Sachs has re-positioned its preference for Asian investment-grade dollar bonds over Asian high-yield bonds, citing concerns about the US economy and expectations that the Federal Reserve will take steps to support growth. "With renewed concerns about US growth and valuations at elevated levels relative to end-2024, we believe its time to re-position to overweight Asian investment-grade bonds over high-yield," strategists Kenneth Ho and Sandra Yeung wrote in a Friday report. The return to a more cautious view reflects broader concerns about US growth momentum following recent unexpectedly weak jobs data. Among Asian investment-grade bonds, Goldman Sachs sees the best value in BBB-rated bonds.On August 11th, Goldman Sachs research showed that while US businesses have borne most of the costs of Trumps tariffs so far, the burden will increasingly shift to consumers. Goldman Sachs analysts, including Jan Hatzius, wrote in a report that US consumers had borne approximately 22% of the tariff costs as of June, but if the recent tariffs follow the pattern of previous tariffs, their share will rise to 67%. US businesses have borne approximately 64% of the tariff costs so far, but their share will fall below 10% going forward. Foreign exporters have borne approximately 14% of the tariff costs as of June, and their share could rise to 25% going forward. Overall, US inflation will rise for the remainder of the year. Goldman Sachs forecasts that, assuming an underlying inflation rate of 2.4% after excluding the impact of tariffs, core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) will grow by 3.2% year-on-year in December.Australian Prime Minister Albanese: Tell Netanyahu we need a political solution, not a military solution.Australian Prime Minister Albanese: Discussions with Netanyahu were civilized.

Price Analysis: NZD/USD Symmetrical Triangle Indicates Decreasing Volatility, US NFP Awaited

The NZD/USD pair is drifting sideways below the immediate resistance level of 0.6480 during the Asian session. The New Zealand dollar has traded sideways as investors await the publication of Caixin Services PMI and United States Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) statistics for fresh impetus.

 

Weak earnings have broken the three-day winning streak of S&P500 futures, which are now displaying significant losses and a risk aversion trend. After a corrective dip, the US Dollar Index (DXY) is aiming to recapture Thursday's high above 101.55 as investors' risk appetite has reduced dramatically.

 

The NZD/USD pair is displaying a chart pattern known as a Symmetrical Triangle, which indicates a significant compression of volatility. The upward-sloping trendline of the chart pattern is taken from the low on January 19 at 0.6365, while the downward-sloping trendline is derived from the high on January 18 at 0.6531. The New Zealand asset saw a dramatic loss on Thursday after failing to find buying support following a breakout, which resulted in a fakeout that kept investors at unsustainable levels.

 

The Relative Strength Index (14) has moved from the bullish region of 60.00-80.00 to the neutral region of 40.00-60.00, indicating that a consolidation is imminent.

 

A decline below the January 31 low of 0.6412 will cause the New Zealand dollar to decline toward the January 17 low of 0.6366 and ultimately the January 12 low of 0.6300.

 

In contrast, for the asset to resume its upward trend, it must surpass Thursday's high of 0.6538, which would catapult it to June 3's high of 0.6576. A breach of this level will expose the asset to the 0.6600 level of resistance.
