Samsung Electronics shares rose more than 4%.March 17 (Futures News) – According to foreign media reports, soybean oil futures on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) closed sharply lower on Monday, with the benchmark contract hitting its daily limit down. This mainly reflected the decline in international crude oil futures and higher-than-expected US soybean oil inventory data. The monthly crush report released Monday by the National Oilseed Processors Association (NOPA) showed that as of February 28, 2026, member companies soybean oil inventories reached 2.08 billion pounds, a 13-year high, higher than the 1.9 billion pounds at the end of January and the 1.503 billion pounds in the same period last year, and also higher than the 1.93 billion pounds expected by analysts before the reports release.On March 17th, according to the Wall Street Journal, OpenAI executives are finalizing a major strategic shift, refocusing the company on programming and enterprise users, as management believes its previous "do-everything" strategy has put the company in a passive position. OpenAI Applications CEO Fidji Simo announced these changes to employees at an all-hands meeting, stating that executives, including CEO Sam Altman, are actively evaluating which business areas need to be de-prioritized. The company expects to inform employees of the adjustments in the coming weeks. Current and former employees say that last years "do-everything" strategy sometimes led to a lack of focus and made it difficult for outsiders to understand OpenAIs strategic direction. Computing resources were often moved from one team to another at the last minute, and the companys organizational structure became increasingly complex. OpenAI is facing increasing pressure from competitor Anthropic. Compared to OpenAI, Anthropic has fewer product bets, focusing primarily on the enterprise and programming markets. Both companies are moving towards IPOs, potentially as early as this year.Japanese Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama: I am aware of the high volatility in the financial markets.Japanese Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama: We will be ready to respond to fluctuations in the financial markets, including foreign exchange, at any time.

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.
