This came hours after the U.S. and Iran exchanged military strikes.

The price per minute for producing AI short dramas has plummeted from 5,000 yuan to a few hundred yuan, nearing cost; however, customized short drama services can still fetch 10,000-20,000 yuan per minute. As production skills are no longer scarce, competition in the AI short drama industry is shifting from quantity and price to content and market share. Data shows that the domestic AI drama and animation market is expected to exceed 40 billion yuan by 2026, a year-on-year growth rate of 138%. The overseas market is also performing exceptionally well, with its size projected to surpass 4 billion US dollars, accounting for nearly 70% of the overall overseas micro-drama market.

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.
