On September 7th, Unitree Robotics released the worlds first video of a fully autonomous humanoid robot fighting in real-time, driven by a world model. The UnifoLM-X2-1.0 overcomes bottlenecks in instantaneous planning, decision-making, and dynamic interactive execution within the world-action model, achieving highly dynamic, highly interactive, and real-time prediction and planning for the future, enabling fully autonomous combat for the humanoid robot. This verifies the fundamental feasibility of large-scale deployment of world model-driven humanoid robots.September 7th - According to AXIOS, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated that the current era is witnessing the "revenge of creatives"—those aspiring entrepreneurs who were once considered tiresome, possessing only entrepreneurial ideas but lacking the technical skills to realize them. Its like saying, "I have a great song idea, I just need the guitarist to make it." "I used to think that was ridiculous," Altman said in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, "but now were seeing an entire generation iterating on ideas at an unprecedented pace. The economic logic of starting small or large businesses has been redefined." Polls show that most Americans believe the risks of AI outweigh the benefits, and the data center issue has become a shared point of contention between the two parties in the midterm elections. Altman, who is trying to promote AI amidst strong opposition, wants to remind Americans that amidst the many real risks, AI also represents opportunity. "This is going to be the best time in the world to start a startup," Altman recently stated. Altman said that with OpenAIs powerful new model, GPT-6 Astra, you can effectively start and run a small business…anyone who wants to own a company now has a team of geniuses in every professional field.On September 7, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova issued a statement saying that the US deployment of a medium-range missile launch system in Norway is yet another serious destabilizing move by NATO countries. Zakharova said the MK-41 launch system deployed in Norway can launch multi-purpose missiles to strike land and sea targets. The system can launch Tomahawk long-range cruise missiles, and its deployment in the Nordic countries can cover large swathes of Russian territory, including Moscow. Zakharova stated that the US deployment of land-based medium-range missiles in Europe, which threaten Russia, "undermines the foundation for constructive dialogue between Russia and the US on strategic issues."On September 7, local time, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia does not rule out resuming trilateral talks with the United States and Ukraine, but the location and timing are still uncertain. Peskov also stated that it is possible that Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump may hold a telephone conversation after the US presidential envoys visit to Moscow and Kyiv. Furthermore, Peskov emphasized that the Kremlin currently has no information regarding the outcome of negotiations between US presidential envoy Sergei Witkov, US President Trumps son-in-law Jared Kushner, and the Ukrainian leadership. When asked about the extent of the differences between the new US proposal and the consensus reached by Russian and US leaders Anchorage, Peskov did not answer.September 7th - Research from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York indicates that the decline in the dollars share of foreign exchange reserves does not reflect a widespread reallocation of dollar holdings, but rather the actions of a few reserve managers. Last year, the dollar accounted for 56% of official currency reserves, down from 64% a decade ago. While this change is often cited as evidence of widespread de-dollarization, Fed researchers say their research shows that the number of countries increasing and decreasing their dollar holdings has been roughly equal over two distinct periods since 2015. Linda S. Goldberg and Sneha Parthasarathy wrote in a blog post last week, "There is little evidence of a widespread trend of official diversification and dollar reduction."

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.
