On Semiconductor (ON.O) reported Q2 2026 revenue of $1.6 billion, compared to market expectations of $1.59 billion; it expects Q3 revenue to be between $1.65 billion and $1.75 billion, compared to market estimates of $1.67 billion.Palantir (PLTR.O) reported revenue of $1.93 billion in Q2 2026, compared to market expectations of $1.805 billion and $1.003 billion in the same period last year.On August 4th, Evercore ISI stated that prolonged use of the Federal Reserves foreign and international monetary authorities repurchase facility could prompt the market to test the resolve of the US and Japan to maintain the yens exchange rate. This facility allows overseas institutions to obtain dollars using their holdings of US Treasury bonds as collateral, without having to raise cash by selling bonds in the open market. However, each counterparty has a daily limit of $60 billion. Evercore strategists noted that this limit is only slightly higher than the estimated amount Japan used to intervene in the foreign exchange market last Thursday. "We believe there is a counterproductive risk in the market focusing on the capped repurchase facility; if strengthening the yen requires large-scale sales of US Treasury bonds, this could prompt the market to test the resolve of the US and Japan," they said. They added that the facility is designed to provide short-term liquidity support, not as a persistent source of funding, so any borrowing must be rolled over for continued use. Furthermore, the facility is "relatively expensive," and the Federal Reserve intends to set these rates above the cost of private repurchase financing, indicating that the facility is not intended for daily financing or sustained foreign exchange intervention.The governor of Bushehr province, Iran, said that the South Pars gas field has resumed production of 60 million cubic meters of natural gas.U.S. Democratic Senator Mark Warner: Trump cannot stop his wavering stance.

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.
