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 US dollar fell against the Japanese yen by less than 0.1 percent to 138.50 after upbeat economic data was released. Retail sales in Japan rose by 2.4% last year, beating both analysts' estimates of 1.9% growth and the prior report of 1.5% growth. Furthermore, retail sales have climbed to 0.8% on a monthly basis. Meanwhile, the report on Industrial Production is 1.8% higher than expected and 2.6% higher than the previous release.

 

Because the US dollar index (DXY) has done so well, bulls have been able to keep a firm grip on the asset. The DXY is aiming for a return to its two-decade high of 109.29 after encouraging data on consumer confidence and hawkish remarks from Fed governors.

 

When compared to July's 95.3 score, August's 103.2 reading on the Conference Board's (CB) Consumer Confidence survey is a significant gain. Improved faith in the economy boosts retail spending, which in turn supports the domestic currency. The DXY was also helped along by John Williams, president of the New York Fed Bank.

 

Fed Williams believes that interest rates will need to increase by more than 3.5 percent by the end of the year in order to slow the rate of inflation. He predicted that by the next year, inflation might drop to between 2.5% and 3%.

 

The release of US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data on Friday remains the focal point of investors' attention this week. It is expected that employment growth numbers would remain satisfactory notwithstanding a halt in recruiting by a number of tech companies and the effects of dwindling liquidity. Reduced from 528k in the prior publication, the anticipated economic data is 300k.
