The draft resolution received 152 votes in favor, 3 against, and 4 abstentions; China voted in favor.

Sources say the talks may take place during the UN General Assembly in New York. Trump plans to discuss the situation in Iran with Gulf leaders concurrently and hopes to arrange a meeting with Rodriguez. A Trump advisor stated that Venezuela is one of the Trump administrations key achievements, and Rodriguez is a key figure in promoting US-Venezuela relations. A senior US government official said the meeting is not yet finalized and the final arrangements depend on Trump himself. Trump previously responded "maybe" when asked if he would meet with Rodriguez. Rodriguez assumed power after the capture of former leader Nicolás al-Nimadro in a US military operation and has worked with the Trump administration and Secretary of State Marco Rubio to normalize US-Venezuela relations, including a previously reported major Venezuelan oil deal. The report points out that Trumps side is more focused on domestic political issues such as energy prices and immigration policy than on promoting democratic elections in Venezuela.

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.
