Statoil: The Snøhvit project has been delayed from its original schedule, and the estimated cost of the project has now exceeded 20 billion Norwegian kroner.On December 22nd, Federal Reserve Governor Milan stated that with the recent adjustments to monetary policy, the necessity of his previous advocacy for a 50-basis-point rate cut has diminished. Milan pointed out that some unusual fluctuations in previous inflation data were partly related to the government shutdown. These unusual signals indicate that the Feds policy stance should be adjusted towards a more accommodative direction. He emphasized that he currently sees no risk of the economy falling into recession in the short term, but believes that the neutral interest rate level has clearly shifted downward, and monetary policy must reflect this structural change. If the policy rate fails to continue to decline to approach the new neutral level, it may actually increase the risk of an economic recession. Furthermore, regarding his own term, Milan admitted that he is still uncertain whether he will remain in office. He stated: "If no successor is confirmed by the end of January, I will assume that I will continue to serve."According to CNBC, Trian and General Catalyst will acquire asset management firm Janus Henderson for $49 per share in cash, valuing the latter at approximately $7.4 billion, a 6.5% premium over Fridays closing price.Lockheed Martin (LMT.N) is partnering with ManTech to advance AI-based support for the U.S. combat aircraft fleet.Market news: Mexican President Simbaum will launch a plan to boost public and private investment.

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.
