A Ukrainian drone strike on a warehouse belonging to Russian online retailer Ozon has killed at least 10 people.Israeli Foreign Minister: We prefer to resolve the issue with Türkiye through diplomatic means.August 23 – The trade dispute between the US and Canada has escalated further, with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announcing that Canada will impose retaliatory tariffs on US imports starting September 8. Carney stated on Saturday, “We are reluctantly taking this step because we recognize that it will increase costs for Canadians, reduce purchasing options, hurt innocent American businesses and states, and hinder cooperation between our two countries.” He said the retaliatory tariffs will primarily target steel, dairy products, home appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp, paper products, and electronics, with more details to be released in the coming days. Following the breakdown of trade negotiations on Friday evening, the US imposed 50% tariffs on hundreds of Canadian goods on Saturday, totaling approximately $20 billion, including plywood, alcoholic beverages, electrical equipment, and hockey equipment.On August 23, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated on August 22 that the Ukrainian armed forces had been launching missile and drone attacks against Russia for the past 40 days in an attempt to defeat Russia, but this was "nothing more than a gamble." He claimed that the Ukrainian attacks had not brought about any substantial change in the situation. Putin also stated that in response to the Ukrainian attacks on civilian infrastructure in Russia, the Russian military had intensified its attacks on Ukrainian companies, and that the retaliatory strikes by Russia were "more destructive."Canadian Prime Minister Carney: The government is prepared to provide financial support to affected industries under the new 50% tariff.

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.
