Market Impact Analysis

• China Caixin Services PMI:
  A reading above 50 would indicate expansion in China’s service sector, supporting risk sentiment and potentially commodities. A decline would signal slower growth, possibly impacting risk-sensitive assets.
• RBA Interest Rate Decision and Statements:
  Any deviation from the expected rate could significantly impact the AUD. A hawkish tone in the statements would support the AUD, while dovish commentary could weaken it.
• US Presidential Election:
  Election outcomes often lead to market volatility, with effects on the USD, US equities, and global market sentiment, as investors adjust positions based on expected policy directions.
• US Trade Balance:
  A widening deficit would suggest higher imports relative to exports, which may weigh on the USD. A narrower deficit would support the dollar.
• ECB President Lagarde Speech:
  Hawkish commentary on inflation would support the EUR, while dovish remarks might weaken it.
• US ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI and 10-Year Note Auction:
  A strong PMI would signal service sector resilience, supporting the USD. Higher yields in the auction would also support the USD by reflecting inflation expectations.
• RBNZ Financial Stability Report:
  Any signs of economic vulnerability or financial risk could weigh on the NZD, while a stable outlook would support it.

Overall Impact

Volatility:
High, with key focus on the RBA’s rate decision, US presidential election, and ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI. Market reactions to ECB and RBNZ commentary will also influence currency and bond markets.

Impact Score: 8/10, driven by significant events, including the US election, central bank decisions, and key economic indicators across major economies that will shape sentiment on global economic stability and policy direction.
