August 30th - A press conference on the "8.26" mudslide disaster in Gyirong, Tibet, was held today (August 30th) in Gyirong Town. On the morning of August 26th, a mudslide on the Nepalese side caused significant casualties and missing persons at the Gyirong Port in Gyirong County, Shigatse City, Tibet. Analysis indicates that the most prominent risk hindering the disaster response was the landslide dam located above the core area of the border crossing. The dam has already overflowed and is currently in stable condition, with a low probability of a complete collapse.On August 30th, a press conference was held in Gyirong Town, Tibet, regarding the "8.26" mudslide disaster. On the morning of August 26th, a mudslide occurred on the Nepalese side, causing significant casualties and missing persons at the Gyirong Port in Gyirong County, Shigatse City, Tibet. The conference explained that this disaster was caused by glacial instability due to long-term climate warming. The disaster was sudden, with a large peak flow, rapid movement, strong destructive power, and a wide impact area, representing a new and significant characteristic of cryosphere disasters in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and surrounding areas. Monitoring revealed that the ice avalanche took only about 6 to 7 minutes from its occurrence to its impact on the Gyirong Port in my country.On August 30, it was learned from a press conference held by the Information Office of the Peoples Government of Tibet Autonomous Region that, through a joint comprehensive search and comparison of clues conducted by multiple departments including foreign affairs, public security, culture and tourism, and emergency response, 261 missing foreign nationals have been identified in the investigation of the Gyirong landslide disaster in Tibet. These individuals come from 23 countries: Kazakhstan (1), Malaysia (3), Nepal (104), India (49), South Africa (4), Ireland (2), Estonia (2), Germany (3), Russia (3), France (2), Finland (1), Netherlands (2), Latvia (33), Lithuania (1), Portugal (1), Ukraine (1), Spain (1), Hungary (1), United Kingdom (15), Canada (6), United States (18), Australia (6), and New Zealand (2). The Chinese side has notified the relevant embassies and consulates in China.On August 30th, it was learned from a press conference held by the Information Office of the Peoples Government of Tibet Autonomous Region that the cause of the mudslide disaster in Tibet has been determined. The Cryosphere Emergency Disaster Reduction Team of the Chengdu Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment, Chinese Academy of Sciences, through analysis of remote sensing monitoring data and on-site feedback data, combined with field surveys and visits, concluded that: at approximately 10:52 AM Beijing time on August 26th, a glacier on the southern slope of Mount Lamtang in Nepal broke off at an altitude of approximately 5200 meters, causing an ice-rock collapse. The debris flow rapidly fell from a high altitude to approximately 4000 meters, eroding the mountain and forming a giant mudslide. After traveling at high speed for approximately 22 kilometers, it reached the Gyirong Port in China at an altitude of approximately 1800 meters, resulting in the razing of approximately 0.7 square kilometers and 27 buildings and related facilities in the area.August 30th - A press conference regarding the "8.26" mudslide disaster in Gyirong, Tibet, was held today (August 30th) in Gyirong Town.

The EUR/USD rise is getting close to 1.0200 as investors await US inflation data

The EUR/USD moves in the 1.0200 range during Tuesday's Asian session after falling from 1.0221 as traders look for fresh data. The major currency pair gained over the first part of the week but lost some of those gains by Monday's close. Recent price fluctuations, however, seem to be constrained by a lack of noteworthy data or events and a cautious attitude ahead of Wednesday's release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for July.

 

Gains in the EUR/USD the day before are shown by higher readings of the Eurozone Sentix Investor Confidence Index and a drop in US Treasury yields. The primary sentiment indicator Index, however, increased in August from -26.4 to -25.2, which was projected to be the value. According to specifics, the eurozone's present state has improved from this month's lowest position since March 2021, when it was -16.5, to -16.3. The expectations index is at its lowest level since December 2008, despite a little increase to -33.8. It is still very close to that level. The US Dollar Index (DXY), in contrast, saw a daily decrease of 0.19 percent to 106.37.

 

The moderate Azione's resignation from the newly formed alliance ahead of the September elections looks to have put negative pressure on the Euro elsewhere due to Italian political worries.

 

The moderate Azione has backed out of its coalition with the Democratic Party and the +Europe party after only agreeing to do so last week. According to party leader Carlo Calendar, "the parts didn't fit." According to Reuters and Market News Publishing US, the alliance was formed in an effort to stop a more conservative government from taking office after the election on September 25.

 

Notably, gains in the EUR/USD the day before appeared to have been constrained by US President Joe Biden's displeasure of China's efforts to retake Taiwan and his censure of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trip to Taipei.

 

These actions caused the 10-year US Treasury rates, which had increased by 14 basis points (bps) the day before, to fall by around seven basis points (bps) to 2.75 percent. Wall Street also started Monday's trading day on a positive one before ending on a mixed note, albeit as of press time, S&P 500 Futures are showing minor gains.

 

Participants in the EUR/USD market may be interested in the second quarter's (Q2) US Nonfarm Productivity and Unit Labor Costs data. Forecasts suggest that US Nonfarm Productivity may rise to -4.6% from -7.3%, while Unit Labor Costs may decrease to 9.5% from 12.6%. The news regarding Taiwan and Russia will also be important for determining direction.
