On August 6th, the "15th Five-Year Plan for the Development of the China (Guangdong) Pilot Free Trade Zone (Draft for Public Comment)" was released for public comment. The draft proposes to expand financial opening-up in an orderly manner. It encourages international financial institutions to establish headquarters within the zone, promoting the development of cross-border finance, innovative finance, venture capital, wealth management, futures trading, asset management, specialized finance, and offshore services. It also aims to accelerate the implementation of projects such as the Greater Bay Area International Commercial Bank and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Insurance Service Center. Support will be given to expanding the scale of commodity trading, promoting the linkage between futures and spot markets for key commodities such as iron ore, crude oil, and rubber, and enhancing the pricing power of commodities. The plan also promotes the upgrading of financial technology regulatory pilot programs and expands the application scenarios of the digital RMB. Support will be given to developing cross-border financial innovation businesses such as offshore finance and green finance, and the expansion of pilot programs such as cross-border wealth management and digital RMB cross-border payments will be promoted. Support will be given to financial institutions within the zone to develop specialized products such as cross-border supply chain finance and intellectual property pledge financing, guiding market entities to develop composite financial products. The plan also aims to deepen pilot programs for cross-border credit asset transfer and multi-currency unified accounts, promoting wider mutual recognition and interoperability of cross-border financial products.Court documents show that OpenAI has applied to a U.S. judge to dismiss Apples lawsuit alleging that it violated trade secrets.Germanys manufacturing orders, adjusted for working days, rose 6.5% year-on-year in June, compared with 6.20% in the previous month.Germanys seasonally adjusted manufacturing orders rose 3.1% month-on-month in June, below the expected 0.3% and the previous reading of 1.90%.JPMorgan Chase raised its price target for eBay (EBAY.O) from $100 to $107.

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.
