On the same day, the Hong Kong Gold Exchange also held its Lunar New Year opening ceremony. Hong Kong Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po stated at the opening ceremony that the Hang Seng Index had risen nearly 6,500 points cumulatively during the Lunar New Year (Year of the Snake), an increase of 32%. IPOs (Initial Public Offerings) and subsequent fundraising both performed strongly, significantly improving stock market liquidity and attracting a highly internationalized source of funds. Chan expressed cautious optimism about the market outlook for the Year of the Horse. He believes that while the external environment remains complex and volatile this year, as long as Hong Kong maintains an open and fair market environment, continuously promotes market reforms, strengthens market infrastructure and development, and effectively manages and addresses various risks, the market will surely overcome obstacles and move forward like a galloping horse.February 20th - The Chinese Embassy in Baikal issued a statement on the 20th, local time, stating that in the car accident on Lake Baikal, the vehicle involved carried one Russian driver and eight Chinese tourists; only one Chinese tourist has been rescued so far.

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.
