Data showed the composite index rose 3.0 points to -13.4, while the economic expectations index rebounded even more strongly, gaining 4.8 points. Sentix noted that "concerns about a sharp economic downturn have clearly eased," and emphasized that global economic conditions, led by the US and Asia, are improving.

Globally, market sentiment improved even more significantly, with the Sentix Global Composite Index rising 4.4 points to 8.0. Despite this improvement, Sentix pointed out that persistently high energy prices continue to drag down inflation expectations, putting ongoing pressure on central banks.The Ukrainian military has attacked a pipeline pumping station in Russias Volgograd region.Indias oil minister said that more and more natural gas is expected to be shipped from Mozambique.

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.
