Yemeni diplomatic missions: The Saudi-US attack on Iraq is a blatant violation of international law. Iraq and its people have the right to legitimately retaliate against this crime.Russian Defense Ministry: Russian troops have taken control of Svetly and Novasich in eastern Ukraine.July 29th, Futures News: 1. According to feedback from cotton regulatory warehouses/delivery warehouses in Aksu, Kashgar, and Kuitun, the transfer of Xinjiang cotton to inland areas has slowed since mid-to-late July, and the pressure on loading and shipping at storage warehouses has decreased. This is particularly evident at warehouses in Shihezi, Changji, and Kuitun in northern Xinjiang. Industry insiders believe that in addition to the start of sales of central reserve cotton, this is also related to factors such as the increasingly obvious off-season trend for domestic sales in June and July, the continued increase in the proportion of production restrictions and reductions by small and medium-sized textile mills in inland areas, and the continuous weakening supply of high-quality, high-grade cotton ("double 29/double 30/double 31") in Xinjiang warehouses. 2. According to surveys/estimations of some cotton-related enterprises in Xinjiang, as of July 20, the commercial cotton inventory in Xinjiang may have dropped to around 1.45 million tons. Moreover, the resources from Kashgar, Kizilsu, Hotan and Aksu in southern Xinjiang account for a relatively high proportion. Meanwhile, the inventory of bonded warehouses in Xinjiang, such as Western Pearl Bonded Logistics, is mainly cotton from Kazakhstan, Afghanistan and Turkey. Therefore, it is expected that more Xinjiang textile enterprises will participate in the auction of the 2026 central reserve cotton in August and September, and increase the replenishment of high-index and high-spinnability cotton such as "double 29/double 30" to safely get through the "supply gap period".ECB Governing Council member Patsalides: On the issue of inflation, the passage of time is undoubtedly at our disadvantage.On July 29th, the "Implementation Plan for Artificial Intelligence Empowering the Digital Transformation of Manufacturing in Zhejiang Province (2026-2030)" was issued, proposing to promote data governance and the construction of high-quality datasets. It supports enterprises in registering industrial data assets and industrial data intellectual property rights. It encourages enterprises with a digital transformation level of 2.0 or higher to build unified data management platforms and promote multi-source heterogeneous data modeling, analysis, classification, and hierarchical management. Focusing on key industry scenarios such as integrated circuits, apparel and textiles, consumer electronics, and modern home furnishings, it promotes collaborative data collection, processing, labeling, testing, and application across the industrial chain to build high-quality, reusable industry datasets. It also advances the pilot construction of product master data standards and high-quality industry datasets to accelerate the creation of a trusted industrial data space.

Positive China PMI and IMF growth forecasts pressure mid-0.7000s bears

Due to risk-positive data from China and the International Monetary Fund, AUD/USD challenges the two-day downtrend while gaining bids off the intraday low (IMF). Despite this, purchasers appear to be having difficulty regaining control ahead of this week's high-level central bank summit. Despite this, the AUD/USD pair rose to 0.7055 in the early morning hours of Tuesday, following a recent comeback from the intraday low of 0.7038.

 

Recently, the IMF increased its global growth forecasts and predicted that the growth slowdown in developing markets bottomed out in 2022. The global lender also noted a slight improvement in the global GDP forecast for 2023, citing "particularly resilient" demand in the United States and Europe, a reduction in energy prices, and the reopening of China's economy after Beijing abandoned its stringent COVID-19 laws.

 

Prior to that, China's NBS Manufacturing PMI rose to 50.1, compared to 49.7 market expectations and 47.0 previously, while China's Non-Manufacturing PMI rose to 54.4, compared to 51.0 market forecasts and 41.6 previously.

 

The recent risk-on profile may have been bolstered by the declaration that the administration of US President Joe Biden is prepared to withdraw the Covid-led emergencies beginning on May 11. Monday, Reuters reported that China's Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) claimed, "China's current wave of COVID-19 infections is nearing a conclusion, and there was no significant increase in cases during the Lunar New Year holiday."

 

Earlier in the day, the AUD/USD exchange rate was impacted by dismal Australian Retail Sales for December and a cautious stance ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) monetary policy meeting. The fact that Australian Retail Sales declined 3.9% in December, as opposed to the projected -0.3% decline and the previous figure of 1.9%, is noteworthy.

 

S&P 500 Futures exhibit small increases despite Wall Street's lackluster performance, while 10-year Treasury yields decline to 3.54% after three consecutive days of gains.

 

The US Employment Cost Index (ECI) for the fourth quarter (Q4) and the Conference Board's Consumer Confidence index for January will be widely monitored for direction in the near future. According to the market consensus, the US Consumer Mood Index may rise, but a forecast lower print of the US ECI, to 1.1% from 1.2%, might bolster the Fed's dovish stance and bring back AUD/USD buyers.
