June 12th - Data released by the Federal Reserve on Thursday showed that the size of U.S. commercial paper increased in the week ending June 10th. In the latest week, seasonally adjusted outstanding U.S. commercial paper increased by $11.4 billion to $1.413 trillion. Unadjusted outstanding commercial paper decreased by $6.9 billion to $1.466 trillion. Some analysts believe that the unadjusted data is more reliable than the seasonally adjusted data because the latter is distorted by the financial crisis. Unadjusted outstanding commercial paper from foreign financial institutions decreased by $7.2 billion to $356 billion.S&P Global Ratings: Assigns Google an AA+ credit rating with a stable outlook.On June 12, the commander of the Hatem Anbia Central Headquarters of the Iranian Armed Forces stated that the United States, while talking about agreements and negotiations, is simultaneously taking malicious actions with ulterior motives.

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.
