Multiple industry insiders revealed that this revision is not a simple adjustment, but rather closely aligns with the new requirements for the financial industry put forward by economic and social development during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period. The core purpose of the revision is to better adapt to the actual needs of differentiated operation and characteristic development of the industry, continuously improve the quality and efficiency of serving the "five major tasks" of finance, and promote the high-quality development of the industry. Based on summarizing the experience of the previous trial evaluation, the SAC has further revised and improved the "Evaluation Method." The draft for comments shows that the revision maintains the stability of the overall framework and does not make major adjustments to the existing evaluation indicator system, but focuses on strengthening overall coordination and deleting some duplicate bonus indicators. The revision direction is clear and focused on goal orientation, closely aligning with the strategic needs of high-quality economic and social development during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period. It aims to promote the concentration of industry resources towards major strategies, key areas, and weak links such as technological innovation, advanced manufacturing, green and low-carbon development, and inclusive livelihood, thereby more effectively leveraging the incentive and guiding role of the evaluation.

AUDUSD fluctuates near 0.6670 support as higher Treasury yields bolster US Dollar rebound

AUDUSD stalls at 0.6690 following a two-day decline as bears seek fresh signals to end a four-week uptrend. Friday's light economic calendar offers a challenge for sellers of the Australian dollar throughout the Asian trading session. Notwithstanding, the US Dollar's recovery, aided by increased Treasury yields, mixes with the market's pessimistic outlook to keep pair sellers upbeat.

 

US Dollar Index (DXY) appears to be recovering from a three-month low hit earlier in the week, as a result of recent assertive words from US Federal Reserve (Fed) officials and better top-tier data from the United States. The dollar disregards Thursday's conflicting secondary numbers as a result.

 

The solid Retail Sales and Producer Price Index (PPI) numbers for the month of October appeared to favor Fed hawks. However, James Bullard, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, remarked on Thursday that the US Federal Reserve's (Fed) monetary policy is not now deemed restrictive enough to reduce inflation. Neel Kashkari, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, issued his most recent comments along the same vein. The Federal Reserve's Kashkari stated, "With inflation still high and monetary policy tightening already underway, it is unknown how high the US central bank will have to raise its policy rate."

 

In terms of data, the US Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index declined to -19.4, compared to -6.2 market estimates and -8.8 previously. In addition, Housing Starts decreased by 4.2% month-over-month in October, following a 1.3% decline in September, and Building Permits decreased by 2.4%, compared to a 1.4% increase the previous month. In addition, Jobless Claims decreased to 222K for the week ending November 11 compared to the 225K predicted and upwardly revised 226K the previous week.

 

Domestically, Australia's Employment Change increased by 32,2K versus 15K market forecasts and 0.9K previously, while the Unemployment Rate decreased to 3.4% from 3.5% previously and 3.5% forecasts. Especially with the publication of the solid Wage Price Index, the employment data gained a boost in their ability to attract buyers. However, it appears that previous dovish remarks from Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) officials have kept AUDUSD purchasers on the board.

 

In addition, elevated tensions between Russia and Ukraine as a result of missile strikes against Poland and growing Covid counts in China weighed on market sentiment and the risk-barometer pair.

 

Wall Street ended in the red, echoing sentiment, while 10-year Treasury yields rose from a six-week low.

 

A lack of significant data/events could allow bears to catch their breath, but risk-averse sentiment and hawkish Fed concerns could drive the AUDUSD price close to the weekly loss.
