According to the Financial Times on September 14, Tesla Chairwoman Robyn Denholm defended her decision to award Musk $1 trillion in stock options, calling him a "unique" CEO who must have exerted extraordinary effort and achieved "seemingly impossible goals" to earn this historic award. Denholm said in an interview: "To achieve the vision and goals weve set, hes going to have to invest an extraordinary amount of time, energy, and effort. This is by no means a walk in the park. This is an extremely ambitious project... If he can pull it off, hes entitled to an unprecedented reward." Denholm also defended the boards "hands-off" approach to Musks controversial political stances, emphasizing that he enjoys freedom of speech and possesses the unique qualities Tesla needs.On September 14th, Martin Kocher, the new president of the Austrian National Bank and a member of the ECBs governing council, said in an interview that the ECB could temporarily maintain interest rates at 2% unless there were major shocks. "At this point, this interest rate cycle is over, or very close to it," Kocher said. This Thursday, the ECB held interest rates at 2% for the second consecutive meeting. Kocher said that "if there are no major changes in the data," the rationale for this months decision will to some extent "continue to hold true in future ECB meetings." When asked about his personal stance, Kocher said that he currently "inclined to remain cautious on monetary policy" and advised against taking excessive risks on inflation.Romanias Ministry of Defense said on September 14 that a drone intruded into Romanian airspace on Saturday during a Russian attack on Ukrainian infrastructure near the border, forcing the country to scramble fighter jets. Defense Minister Ionut Mosteanu said an F-16 fighter pilot narrowly missed shooting down the drone, which was flying very low and then left Romanian airspace toward Ukraine. Romania, a member of the European Union and NATO, shares a 650-kilometer (400-mile) border with Ukraine. The Romanian Ministry of Defense said in a statement that two F-16 fighter jets, and later two Eurofighter jets, were scrambled on Saturday, and warned residents of Tulcea County in the southeast, near the Danube River and the Ukrainian border, to take cover.On September 14, Penske Media, the owner of Rolling Stone and Billboard, sued Google in a federal court in Washington, D.C. on Friday, accusing the latter of using its AI summary feature without permission and cutting website traffic. This is the first time that a major American publisher has filed a lawsuit against Googles AI-generated summaries. For months, several news organizations have said that these new features will divert users and erode advertising and subscription revenue. The lawsuit stated that AI summaries are currently displayed in about 20% of Google search results linking to its website, and the proportion is expected to continue to rise. As search traffic declines, the companys associated revenue will have fallen by more than a third from its peak by the end of 2024. Google responded on Saturday that AI summaries can provide users with a better experience and bring traffic to more different types of websites.According to the local governor: A fire broke out at the Kirish oil refinery in Russia after the wreckage of a drone fell, and the fire has now been extinguished.

The EUR/USD moves in the 1.0200 range during Tuesday's Asian session after falling from 1.0221 as traders look for fresh data. The major currency pair gained over the first part of the week but lost some of those gains by Monday's close. Recent price fluctuations, however, seem to be constrained by a lack of noteworthy data or events and a cautious attitude ahead of Wednesday's release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for July.

 

Gains in the EUR/USD the day before are shown by higher readings of the Eurozone Sentix Investor Confidence Index and a drop in US Treasury yields. The primary sentiment indicator Index, however, increased in August from -26.4 to -25.2, which was projected to be the value. According to specifics, the eurozone's present state has improved from this month's lowest position since March 2021, when it was -16.5, to -16.3. The expectations index is at its lowest level since December 2008, despite a little increase to -33.8. It is still very close to that level. The US Dollar Index (DXY), in contrast, saw a daily decrease of 0.19 percent to 106.37.

 

The moderate Azione's resignation from the newly formed alliance ahead of the September elections looks to have put negative pressure on the Euro elsewhere due to Italian political worries.

 

The moderate Azione has backed out of its coalition with the Democratic Party and the +Europe party after only agreeing to do so last week. According to party leader Carlo Calendar, "the parts didn't fit." According to Reuters and Market News Publishing US, the alliance was formed in an effort to stop a more conservative government from taking office after the election on September 25.

 

Notably, gains in the EUR/USD the day before appeared to have been constrained by US President Joe Biden's displeasure of China's efforts to retake Taiwan and his censure of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trip to Taipei.

 

These actions caused the 10-year US Treasury rates, which had increased by 14 basis points (bps) the day before, to fall by around seven basis points (bps) to 2.75 percent. Wall Street also started Monday's trading day on a positive one before ending on a mixed note, albeit as of press time, S&P 500 Futures are showing minor gains.

 

Participants in the EUR/USD market may be interested in the second quarter's (Q2) US Nonfarm Productivity and Unit Labor Costs data. Forecasts suggest that US Nonfarm Productivity may rise to -4.6% from -7.3%, while Unit Labor Costs may decrease to 9.5% from 12.6%. The news regarding Taiwan and Russia will also be important for determining direction.
