Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: Some Americans say Trump listens to me completely, and some Israelis say I listen to Trump completely—neither of these statements is true. We are leaders of an independent nation. I represent Israels interests.According to Israels i24News, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu stated, "We have stopped Iran from carrying out a plan aimed at completely annihilating us."The China Earthquake Networks Center officially measured a 4.0-magnitude earthquake in Zhaosu County, Ili Prefecture, Xinjiang (43.36 degrees north latitude, 81.10 degrees east longitude) at 1:58 a.m. on June 22, with a focal depth of 20 kilometers.June 22 - According to Iranian sources on June 21, a member of the Iranian negotiating team revealed that the draft of a waiver for Iranian oil sanctions has been finalized, adding that the waiver will be issued soon. Administrative procedures for unfreezing Iranian funds are underway with the participation of a Qatari delegation.June 22 - According to foreign media reports, sources revealed that the ruling coalition led by German Chancellor Merz is preparing to support a proposal for a comprehensive reform of Germanys pension system, including the introduction of a market-based savings mechanism, tightening early retirement rules, and gradually raising the retirement age. These recommendations, drafted by a government-appointed committee, will be submitted on Tuesday. The plan proposes a gradual introduction of supplementary pension contributions equivalent to 2% of total wages, which would be managed through a public fund vehicle and invested in the capital markets. The committee also recommends gradually raising the retirement age in line with increases in life expectancy. Furthermore, the proposal would abolish a popular early retirement pathway that allows workers who have contributed for 45 years to retire early. Pension reform is one of the most divisive issues in the coalition government, which has been in power for 13 months, and continues to test the long-standing policy differences between Merzs conservative wing and Klinkes Social Democratic Party.

NZD/USD Price Analysis: Protects NZ Inflation-Induced Support Break; 0.6140 in Sight

During the mid-Asian session on Thursday, NZD/USD bears maintain control at the lowest levels in five weeks while defending New Zealand (NZ) losses caused by inflation near 0.6160. This justifies not only the weaker-than-anticipated New Zealand inflation, but also the recent break of one-month-old horizontal support, which is now immediate resistance, as well as the bearish MACD signals.

 

As measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) policy purists were unpleasantly surprised by New Zealand's (NZ) first-quarter (Q1) inflation. Despite this, the Quarter-over-Quarter change in the New Zealand Consumer Price Index (CPI) decreases from 1.7% and 1.4%, respectively, to 1.2%.

 

Following the publication of disappointing data, the NZD/USD pair breached a one-month-old horizontal support level, which is now acting as a barrier near 0.6170. The bearish MACD signals are now directing NZD/USD traders toward a horizontal support level that has been in place for 1.5 months and is located near 0.6140.

 

If the NZD/USD bears remain dominant above 0.6140, the 2023 low of 0.6085 cannot be ruled out.

 

The 200-day simple moving average hurdle of 0.6220 becomes crucial for NZD/USD investors to return.

 

If the NZD/USD pair remains above 0.6220, a run up to the previous weekly high around 0.6315 and then to the monthly high of 0.6386 cannot be ruled out.
