August 7th - Data released by the Democratic Republic of Congos (DRC) Ministry of Health on August 6th showed that the countrys cumulative confirmed cases of Ebola in this outbreak had reached 4,053. The director of the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC), Kassia, stated that the actual number of infections may be higher than the reported cases. Data released by the DRC Ministry of Health showed that as of August 5th, the country had reported a cumulative total of 4,053 confirmed Ebola cases, including 1,850 deaths and 793 recoveries.On August 7th, the National Energy Administration issued the "15th Five-Year Action Plan for Power Safety Production." The plan emphasizes strengthening safety governance through "artificial intelligence+", innovating high-precision fault prediction and health management methods for equipment, promoting the embedding of artificial intelligence technology into intelligent safety tools, and researching power safety production auxiliary decision-making technologies based on large-scale artificial intelligence models. It also calls for increased independent research and development of key power equipment, enhanced research and development of new protective materials, the establishment of a special plan for tackling key technologies in core components of power equipment, and promoting breakthroughs in key technologies such as power chips and ultra-high voltage (UHV) unit components. Furthermore, it promotes technological innovation in safety and quality control of power construction projects, researches and constructs an intelligent supervision system for power construction projects, and utilizes artificial intelligence, big data, and other means to strengthen off-site supervision and quality control of key power projects.According to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, a 5.8-magnitude earthquake struck near Occidental Mindoro province in the Philippines at approximately 10:38 a.m. on August 7, with a focal depth of 10 kilometers.August 7th - TSMC has achieved a breakthrough in next-generation technology, successfully developing a high-performance monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) top-gate transistor in collaboration with a team from National Chiao Tung University, which could help push the limits of Moores Law. The findings were published in the journal *Nature Electronics*.On August 7th, it was learned from the Anhui Provincial Key Laboratory of Quantum Computing Chips that a joint research team from Origin Quantum and the University of Science and Technology of China has successfully solved the long-standing problem of the trade-off between speed and fidelity in superconducting quantum computing by proposing the innovative "Parameter Space Extended Controlled Phase Gate (PSE-CZ)" scheme. This allows a two-qubit quantum gate to significantly improve accuracy while maintaining high speed. The relevant results have been published in the top international physics journal *Physical Review Letters*, and experimental verification was completed on my countrys independently developed superconducting quantum computer, "Origin Wukong".

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.
