U.S. House Speaker Boris Johnson: The House will approve legislation on Tuesday to end the brief government shutdown.February 3 - According to foreign media reports, the US government is preparing to issue a general license allowing companies to drill for oil in Venezuela, as part of the Trump administrations plan to ease sanctions and revitalize the countrys stagnant energy industry. Sources familiar with the matter revealed that the US Treasury Department could issue the license as early as this week. This move is a key step in attracting US-affiliated companies to participate and restoring Venezuelan crude oil production. Last week, the US issued another general license allowing companies to buy and sell Venezuelan crude oil. This license covers several downstream operations, including loading, exporting, transporting, and refining crude oil, but only if carried out by "a registered US entity."The United States plans to issue licenses to companies that can exploit Venezuelan oil.U.S. stock indexes extended their losses, with the Nasdaq down 1% and the S&P 500 down 0.48%.Walmart (WMT.N) shares rose on Tuesday, pushing its market capitalization past the $1 trillion mark for the first time, joining the ranks of companies typically represented by large tech giants.

Analysis of the NZD/USD Price indicates a continuation of gains towards 0.65

The NZD/USD pair is oscillating within a narrow range near 0.6430 in the early Asian session. Despite the market's risk aversion, the New Zealand dollar has traded sideways after reclaiming the monthly high of 0.6437. In reaction to Tom Barkin's hawkish comments about the Richmond Federal Reserve (Fed) Bank, S&P500 futures are exhibiting greater losses, indicating investors' diminishing appetite for risk.

 

Following a V-shaped recovery, the US Dollar Index (DXY) has turned sideways at 102,000 and is expected to extend gains on a risk aversion theme. In addition, higher 10-year US Treasury yields would certainly provide safe-haven investments a new lease of life.

 

After one hour of consolidation, the NZD/USD pair has broken out of the Bullish Pennant chart pattern, indicating that the rising trend will continue. Participants typically initiate long positions during the consolidation period of a chart pattern, preferring to enter an auction once a bullish bias has been established.

 

Adding to the upward filters, the 20-period and 50-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) have resumed their upward trend at 0.6415 and 0.6401, respectively.

 

Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (14) continues to struggle to enter the positive zone between 60.00 and 80.00. The occurrence of a similar event will produce bullish momentum.

 

For greater gains, the Kiwi asset must beat Tuesday's high of 0.6439, which will rocket it to December 15's high of 0.6470, then December 13's high of 0.6514.

 

Alternately, a breach below Monday's low of 0.6361 will weaken the New Zealand Dollar and push the Kiwi asset towards January 12's low of 0.6304. A breach below this level will expose the asset to more losses approaching the low of 0.6263 on December 28.
