There is no risk of a tsunami from this earthquake.European Mediterranean Seismological Center: A magnitude 5.4 earthquake occurred in western Texas, with a focal depth of 10 kilometers.On May 4, Musks SpaceX headquarters in southern Texas, Starbase, is about to become an official city. On Saturday local time, a vote to officially register the Starship Base as a Texas autonomous city was passed overwhelmingly. Most of the 283 eligible voters in the area are SpaceX employees. The base is the launch base for SpaceXs cooperative project with the U.S. Department of Defense and NASA, aiming to send astronauts to the moon and even Mars. Musk first proposed the idea of a star base in 2021, and there was no suspense about the approval this time. This victory means a lot to Musk. The billionaires reputation has fallen since he became the "spokesperson" of Trumps federal layoffs plan, and Teslas profits have shrunk significantly. SpaceXs employment and investment in the area have generally been widely supported by local officials. But the proposal to build a city has also attracted criticism, who worry that it will expand Musks personal control over the area and may have the power to close a popular beach and state park for launches.

The AUD/NZD Exchange Rate Retests Its Monthly Low Below 1.0850 As Aussie Inflation and GDP Decline

The AUD/NZD pair has been heavily offered by market players after the Australian Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for the prior month experienced a sharp drop. Additional rate increases are anticipated even though RBA Governor Philip Lowe already increased the Official Cash Rate (OCR) to 3.25 percent in an effort to curb sticky inflation. This is because it would be imprudent to proclaim success in the struggle against rising price pressures.

 

Other than the Aussie inflation statistics, the Q4 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) estimates came in below expectations. The Australian Bureau of Statistics published a decrease in GDP (Q4) data from the consensus estimate of 0.8% and the Q3 number of 0.6% to 0.5%. When annualized, the Economy has met forecasts at 2.7%.

 

The New Zealand Dollar and the Australian Dollar will continue to trade despite the release of the Caixin Manufacturing PMI data. IHS Markit is expected to show an increase in economic data to 50.2 from 49.2 in the prior release.

 

While the consensus forecast called for a 1.5% rise, this week's New Zealand Retail Sales (Q4) figures showed a 0.6% decline. Future inflation in New Zealand is likely to be moderated by a decline in household demand because businesses will be compelled to give products and services at reduced rates to maintain present demand levels.
