On Saturday, August 30th, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited a chip factory in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. A day earlier, he and Shigeru Ishiba pledged to strengthen ties as US tariffs hit the global economy. "We hope to work together to strengthen the semiconductor supply chain and enhance economic security," Ishiba said. Modi has consistently emphasized the potential for cooperation in energy, trade, and technology, calling Japan a "technological powerhouse." He also stated that Japanese technology and Indian talent could lead a global technological revolution.Russia shot down 20 Ukrainian drones on Saturday morning, including 18 that flew over Crimea, the Russian Defense Ministry said.Musk: Grok Code Fast 1 beat Claude Sonnet to rank first on the OpenRouter leaderboard.On August 30, the Neue Zürcher Zeitung newspaper reported that Switzerlands gold industry organization opposes relocating some operations to the United States as a way to mitigate the trade imbalance between the two countries and aid tariff negotiations. The 39% tariffs imposed by the United States on Switzerland are harming Swiss businesses and the broader economy, and the Swiss government is seeking to persuade President Donald Trump to lower them. Some have suggested that relocating gold refining capacity to the United States might be a way to appease Trump. Christoph Wild, president of the Swiss Association of Precious Metals Producers and Traders, stated that the government "should not make hasty decisions." He also stated that Switzerlands large gold export surplus in late 2024 and early 2025 was an anomaly, largely due to traders shipping gold to the United States in advance to avoid potential tariffs.Rosneft CEO: Global oil market oversupply is expected to be 2.6 million barrels per day in the fourth quarter and will fall to 2.2 million barrels per day in 2026.

The AUD/NZD exchange rate has shown less conviction in its recent slide after printing a new four-day low below 1.1700. The cross dropped sharply on Tuesday after breaking below the crucial support level of 1.1200. It is expected that the asset will continue to drop after breaking through its immediate support at 1.1170, as investors remain cautious ahead of the Reserve Bank of Australia's interest rate decision (RBA).

 

The Aussie Bulls fell on Tuesday after poor data on Australian Building Permits was made public. As expected, the latest economic data showed a drop to -25.9%, from the prior report's -17.2%. The monthly numbers also fell drastically, from -0.6% to -17.2%.

 

Interest rates are expected to be raised by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) for the fourth time in a row on Tuesday. So far, the Australian economy has not breathed a sigh of relief as a result of falling pricing pressures. Inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in Australia is at 6.1% as of the second quarter, and it is quite expected that additional rate hikes will be necessary to bring it down. Furthermore, the Official Cash Rate (OCR) information from RBZ Governor Philip Lowe will be essential.

 

New Zealand kiwi bulls have been supported by upbeat Building Permits data. This latest economic report shows a significant improvement, with a reading of 5% compared to -2.2% in the prior report. For the market as a whole, investors are still picking themselves up from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's (RBNZ) announcement of two more interest rate hikes for the remainder of the year. In reaction to the soaring inflation, Reserve Bank of New Zealand governor Adrian Orr said last week at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium that the central bank will announce a couple more interest rate increases.
