This marks the first time CDB has used online book-building to issue green financial bonds, effectively improving issuance efficiency and transparency. The projects involved in this green financial bond issuance were strictly selected according to the "Green Finance Supported Project Catalogue (2025 Edition)," with a green rating of G1 (the highest level). The funds raised will be primarily used for key areas such as green infrastructure upgrades, energy-saving and carbon-reducing industries, green and low-carbon energy transformation, and ecological protection, restoration, and utilization. This issuance represents a new attempt by CDB to optimize its bond issuance pricing mechanism and narrow the price gap between the primary and secondary markets, as well as a new exploration of empowering green and low-carbon financing through market-oriented methods.On September 4th, BNP Paribas economists stated in a report that the persistent energy price shock, coupled with the resilience of the Eurozone economy, suggests the European Central Bank (ECB) may raise interest rates once in September and once in December. Economists expect the ECB to raise rates next week, while potentially raising its economic growth and inflation forecasts, further supporting the case for tightening monetary policy. Continued high energy prices and a strong economy make a second round of effects more likely, although current signs are still limited. Economists indicated that policymakers will continue to view the risks to the inflation outlook as skewed to the upside.According to The Times, British Prime Minister Burnham will approve the new Jack Road gas field project in the North Sea in late September.

NZD/USD falls rapidly from 0.6260 when the RBNZ announces a decline in inflation projections to 3.07 percent

The NZD/USD pair has encountered selling pressure while attempting to surpass the immediate resistance level of 0.6260. The asset has seen bids after the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) announced inflation estimates at 3.07 percent, down from 3.29 percent previously. It could be an indication of waning price pressure, but additional evidence is still needed to support the argument.

 

Price pressures in the New Zealand economy are increasing and have not yet shown signs of weariness. A June report indicates that an inflation rate of 7.3% is adequate to generate headwinds for families. The RBNZ is consistently escalating its policy tightening measures to combat the same. RBNZ Governor Adrian Orr has already increased the Official Cash Rate by 2.50 percentage points.

 

On the front of the US dollar, the US dollar index (DXY) has returned all intraday gains and is currently trading near the day's open at 106.60. While attempting to break over the crucial resistance level of 106.80, the DXY has encountered selling pressure. This week, investors' attention is centered on Wednesday's release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI).

 

The annual inflation rate is projected to continue at 8.7 percent, down from 9.1 percent in the previous report. Oil prices have been on a downward trend in July, which may be the determining factor for a significant decline in the price increase index. While the US CPI excluding volatile food and oil prices may increase from 5.9 percent to 6.1 percent, the previous reading was 5.9 percent.
