On July 25, Wang Yi stated that President Rahmons successful state visit to China in May, during which President Xi Jinping and President Rahmon made new strategic plans for the development of China-Tajikistan relations, was a significant achievement. The most important outcome of the visit was the signing of the Treaty of Permanent Good-Neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation between China and Tajikistan, setting a precedent in Central Asia. The two sides also issued a Joint Statement on Deepening the Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership for a New Era between the Peoples Republic of China and the Republic of Tajikistan, declaring their determination to jointly promote the building of a China-Tajikistan community with a shared future. The common task of the two foreign ministries is to translate the consensus reached by the two heads of state into concrete actions, plan exchanges at all levels, and promote deeper and more practical cooperation in areas such as energy, connectivity, and counter-terrorism and security, so as to bring more cooperative results to the benefit of the people of both countries.The Federal Reserve accepted a total of $675 million from two counterparties in its fixed-rate reverse repurchase operations.Baker Hughes Oilfield Services: U.S. energy company cuts number of drilling rigs for the first time in six weeks.Meta Platforms (META.O): Thanks to Muse Spark 1.1 technology, MetaAI is now able to create plans, connect email and calendar applications, generate presentations, and handle various tasks on behalf of users.Meta Platforms (META.O): In the coming weeks, new features from Meta AI will be expanded to more countries and platforms (including WhatsApp).

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.
