On January 27th, European Central Bank (ECB) Governing Council member Kocher stated that given the unstable global situation, particularly regarding trade, the ECB needs to retain all feasible options regarding interest rates. While officials believe they are currently in a "good position," they still face "very high" uncertainty. He emphasized the importance of having sufficient options in both directions. Monetary policy must be able to respond quickly and decisively to any emerging risks. Kocher expressed a desire to be able to react swiftly to any unforeseen circumstances. "We saw this last week when there was an additional threat of tariffs. So we must be cautious. This could have some consequences and could also impact European economic development."SMIC: The company will disclose its fourth quarter 2025 results after the trading session on February 10, 2026.EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Karas: I have asked my Indian counterparts to engage in dialogue with Russia and to pressure Russia on the peace process in Ukraine.January 27th - Nick Timiraos, the "Federal Reserve mouthpiece," reports that Federal Reserve officials are expected to keep interest rates unchanged this week for the first time since three consecutive rate cuts in September. The question is, what would prompt the Fed to cut rates again? The answer depends on which risk materializes first: a collapse in the labor market, or a significant drop in inflation towards the 2% target. Neither has occurred since the last meeting in December. As a result, the committee remains on the sidelines despite significant political pressure from the White House. Most officials still believe a rate cut is possible later this year, but there is disagreement on when data will support it.January 27th - With only six months remaining until July 1st, 2026, the implementation of Article 75 of the National Medical Products Administrations "Special Provisions on the Registration Management of Traditional Chinese Medicines" is entering its final window. This provision, known in the industry as the "life-or-death clause" for traditional Chinese medicines, clearly states that after three years from July 1st, 2023, any traditional Chinese medicine whose instructions still indicate "not yet clear" will not be approved for re-registration. This means that over 70% of the approximately 57,000 valid approval numbers for traditional Chinese medicines currently in use in China, due to safety information labeling issues, will face elimination. A regulatory-driven, in-depth cleanup of the traditional Chinese medicine industry has officially entered its crucial stage. The core of this new regulatory policy is to completely end the long-standing era of "not yet clear" instructions for traditional Chinese medicines, forcing drug holders to address the shortcomings in post-market safety data.

The AUD/USD has dropped from its monthly high at 0.6990 due to poor Australian PMIs and a rebound in the DXY

After retesting the monthly high earlier in the day, the AUD/USD continued to slide in Friday's Asian trading. It drops back down to where it started the day, at 0.6916. Recent declines in the Aussie pair may be attributable to the poor prints of Australia's flash readings of S&P Global PMIs for July. The resurgence of the US dollar in the face of pessimistic attitude also affects the pair.

 

S&P Global Manufacturing PMI for Australia dropped to 55.7 in July from 56.2 in June and the 56.4 forecast. Additionally, the S&P Global Services PMI dropped to 50.4 during the mentioned month, which was below the 55.0 consensus and the 52.6 readings seen previously. Moreover, the S&P Global Composite PMI has dropped from 52.6 in prior readings to 50.6 today.

 

Conversely, as risk aversion returns to the market, the US Dollar Index (DXY) is gaining bids and is on track to revisit its intraday high at 106.70, up 0.12% on the day. It's worth remembering that the DXY dropped the day before because it was pegged to US Treasury rates, and that the benchmark 10-year bond coupons had their worst daily loss since mid-June.

 

The yield drop might be the result of a number of factors, including the European Central Bank's (ECB) surprise rate hike of 50 basis points (bps) and the implementation of a new tool known as the Transmission Protection Instrument (TPI) to manage irrational market dynamics in the area.

 

Additionally, the Nord Stream 1 pipeline from Russia restarting its gas exports to Europe boosted market sentiment and aided AUD/USD purchasers the day before.

 

In light of this, Wall Street benchmarks ended the day stronger and the 10-year Treasury rates for the US Treasury had their greatest daily decline in five weeks. However, as of the time of publication, S&P 500 Futures are down 0.50 percent.

 

The ECB's decision to limit the market's confidence as well as long-standing worries about a recession and COVID are the sources of the most recent dip in mood.

 

Nevertheless, the risk-off attitude may affect the AUD/USD pricing going ahead. However, pessimistic predictions for the US PMIs in July give purchasers reason for optimism.
