According to disclosures by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Goldman Sachs increased its long position in XPeng Motors (09868.HK) from 4.58% to 5.33% on March 10, 2026.Jefferies raised its price target for ExxonMobil (XOM.N) from $149 to $178.March 16th - We expect the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) to raise interest rates by 25 basis points at its meeting on Tuesday, followed by another 25 basis point hike in May. We then expect the RBA to pause rate hikes to assess whether the increase in the cash rate is sufficient to curb inflation risks. We believe the risks to the 4.35% terminal interest rate forecast are skewed to the upside. The Middle East conflict has now moved beyond a short-term geopolitical shock and entered a phase where oil supply shortages may be more prolonged. The most definite and immediate impact of the Middle East conflict on Australia is rising inflation. Demand will also be somewhat damaged by affecting disposable income, but the timing and extent of this impact are uncertain. Given that inflation is above target and the labor market is considered strained, inflation risks are likely more central to the Committee than risks to economic activity. Escalating inflation risks will exacerbate these concerns, thus increasing the urgency to curb inflation expectations.March 16th - According to the Financial Times, restaurants in India have stopped using frying as a cooking method due to the natural gas crisis. The war between the US and Israel against Iran has disrupted global energy supplies, and South Asia, heavily reliant on natural gas from Gulf states, is among the hardest-hit regions. Indian Prime Minister Modi told the Indian people "there is no need to panic," but reports of hoarding, theft, and price gouging are rampant in the worlds most populous country as people rush to buy increasingly scarce liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders (primarily used for cooking). Pakistani Prime Minister Sharif, in a national address, stated, "If this situation continues to worsen, these prices will certainly get out of control."The Philippine House of Representatives has authorized President Marcos to suspend the fuel tax.

AUD/USD RBA Continuation of the upswing is predicated upon breaching the 0.7045-50 resistance area

The MACD and RSI indicators favor purchasers, but the RBA controls the market. AUD/USD trades between 0.7025 and 0.7030 during the midday Asian session on Tuesday. Traders anticipate the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) Interest Rate Decision as the Aussie pair flirts with a significant northward resistance level.

 

In addition to the confluence of the 100-day exponential moving average (EMA) and the downward sloping trend line from April 20, AUD/USD bulls face the risk that the RBA may refrain from making too aggressive statements due to widespread recession concerns.

 

Notably, the early MACD signals and the RSI (14), which are not overbought, encourage AUD/USD buyers. Continuous trading above April's downward-sloping resistance line, which is currently 0.6910 support, is on the same line.

 

Should the downward swings push the quote below 0.6910, the mid-June and May lows of 0.6850 and 0.6830, respectively, will test the pair's further slide before reversing to the yearly low of 0.6680.

 

In contrast, a successful break over the 0.7050 resistance level requires confirmation from the June 16 swing high around 0.7070 prior to driving AUD/USD prices towards the 50 percent and 61.8 percent Fibonacci retracement levels of the April-July drop, near 0.7175 and 0.7300, respectively.
