On November 8, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson addressed the UN Human Rights Council on November 7. Johnson stated that the US federal governments refusal to accept review by the Human Rights Council was an attempt to evade scrutiny. He argued that the Human Rights Council should apply the same accountability standards to the US federal government as it does elsewhere in the world, and that no country is above international law. Johnson called on the Human Rights Council to send independent experts to Chicago to investigate the challenges facing the city; he also urged the Council to take further accountability measures, including convening a special session to investigate the worsening human rights crisis in the United States. The UN Human Rights Council was scheduled to hold its fourth round of Universal Periodic Review (UPR) on November 7, but the US representative refused to attend, preventing the review from proceeding normally. The Human Rights Council adopted a decision that day urging the United States to resume cooperation with the UPR mechanism.Russian Ministry of Defense: Russian troops have occupied the village of Vovche in the Dnipropetrovsk region of Ukraine.Ukrainian Prime Minister: Russia’s attack on Ukrainian dams damaged several large energy facilities in the Kyiv, Kharkiv and Poltava regions.November 8th - Pfizer has finalized its $10 billion acquisition offer for Metsera, a startup focused on weight-loss drugs, after a bidding war with Novo Nordisk.

Once the RBA minutes are made public, it is anticipated that AUD/NZD will once again test the day's low near 1.1110

The AUD/NZD pair lost its intraday rally after tumbling to roughly 1.1106 during the early session in Tokyo. The Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) minutes' release has weighed on the cross. According to the monetary policy minutes from October, concerns about domestic and international growth risks led to the announcement of a rate increase of 25 basis points (bps), which was less than expected.

 

Additionally, RBA policymakers think the central bank has raised interest rates quickly, which could have an impact on household expenditure.

 

Australia has had the lowest unemployment rate in its economic history, at 3.5% during the past 50 years, thanks to a healthy labor market. While core inflation has remained high because of rising service prices, the drop in oil prices has put downward pressure on headline inflation.

 

Moving forward, attention will be focused on the employment statistics for Australia. The consensus predicts that the Employment Change will drop from 33.5k to 25k. At 3.5%, the unemployment rate won't change.

 

The cross declined in early Tokyo after the announcement of higher-than-expected inflation data for New Zealand. The annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) came in at 7.2%, which was much higher than expected but marginally lower than the 7.3% reported in the prior report. While the quarterly inflation rate came in at 2.2%, exceeding both the 1.6% estimate and the 1.7% reading from the previous quarter, it was below the 1.7% figure from the previous quarter.

 

Given that price pressures have not abated as anticipated, it is now more likely that the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) will continue to raise interest rates at the current pace. 3.5% is the Official Cash Rate (OCR).
