July 3 – Under revised disclosure requirements, European asset management companies are no longer required to report ESG data for all assets they hold. The European Commission stated that asset management companies with a “fiduciary duty” to clients and managing portfolios under a “mandate with clients” are exempt from providing such information. This is part of the revised EU sustainability reporting standards published on Friday. These requirements, officially known as the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), detail how companies should comply with the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. The Commission conducted a public consultation on its proposed “authorization bill,” the initial draft of which was published in May and received over 400 responses. EU authorities have spent months revising the ESRS as part of a broader EU initiative to simplify reporting requirements and enhance competitiveness. In a statement, the European Commission said the revised standards reduce the number of data points companies must report by more than 60%.German Chancellor Merz: I cannot criticize Lithuanias move to end the nuclear weapons ban.Indias Trade Minister: Merchandise exports are expected to grow by 16% to 17% this year.German Chancellor Merz: (Regarding Trumps remarks) will raise the issue of Germany and Europe increasing their contributions to NATO at next weeks NATO summit.According to the Shanghai Stock Exchanges official website, the IPO application status of Duality Biotherapeutics Inc. on the Science and Technology Innovation Board has changed to "under inquiry".

NZD/USD finds support near 0.6220; a decline appears more probable due to China's Covid concerns

China's anti-Covid shutdown protests have weakened commodity-linked currencies, resulting in a gap-down start of roughly 0.6220 for the NZD/USD pair. During the previous week, the New Zealand dollar dropped after failing to surpass the round-level barrier of 0.6300.

 

Individuals have taken to the streets in China to demonstrate their opposition against the zero-tolerance policy, leading to a rise in civil unrest. Due to Chinese leader Xi Jinping's conservative posture and authoritarian framework, global markets have become more risk-averse. This has created an economic expansion risk and may worsen the already shaky housing market. Increasing apprehensions about societal risks may also result in political instability, which may have long-lasting detrimental effects on economic structure.

 

Notably, New Zealand is one of China's most important trading partners, and instability in China could damage the New Zealand Dollar.

 

In the meantime, the US Dollar Index (DXY) is profiting from investors' liquidity as the demand for safe-haven assets surges. The USD Index is hovering around 106.20 and attempting to reduce volatility as China's anti-locking protests restrict the upside and predictions of a slowdown in the Federal Reserve's larger rate hike cycle limit the downside (Fed).

 

S&P500 futures are under heavy pressure from market players due to a risk-averse market mentality. In anticipation of Fed chief Jerome Powell's address on Wednesday, yields on 10-year US Treasuries have decreased to approximately 3.68 percent. The Fed Chair's speech could dispel suspicions about a pause to the Fed's current rate-hiking program.
