AUD/USD, NZD/USD Forecast: Subtle Yuan Gains Drive Upward Break
Yuan Surges to Highest Level Since Early 2023
The Chinese yuan has quietly climbed to its strongest position against the US dollar in over a year, a development that has largely flown under the radar amid global turmoil. However, this trend aligns with underlying economic factors. Unlike many other nations, China has benefited from Iran’s effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Thanks to its close ties with Iran, China continues to secure energy imports from the Gulf and has accumulated significant energy reserves in recent years. While other countries face supply disruptions, China remains relatively insulated from these challenges. This resilience helps shed light on the yuan’s recent strength.

1. The sharp escalation in Middle East tensions pushed Brent crude to multi-year highs of $105–$107 per barrel, reviving inflation expectations. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield surged to 4.94%, its highest level since 2023, while the implied probability of a rate hike at the September 16 policy meeting to the 3.75%–4.00% range rose from 48.4% one month ago to 67.1%. 2. Rising oil prices and rate-hike expectations weighed on most risk assets, but historical data suggest that this is more likely to be a short-term adjustment than a reversal of the broader trend. Bitcoin fell 3.36% this week and the S&P 500 declined 1.64%, while gold slipped just 0.96%. Outside the energy sector, markets are largely repricing ahead of next week's expected rate decision. 3. PoolX has recently introduced a long-term holding bonus, significantly improving effective returns for users who maintain assets on the platform over time. The core participation rules remain unchanged; the update adds an additional boost to the effective locked amount for users with qualifying long-term holdings. In the example provided, a user locking 1000 ETH would see the estimated reward increase from 1666.67 USDT to 2500 USDT, or about 50%, while the reference APR rises from 4.93% to 7.40%. Assets to watch: BTC, ETH, SOL, Brent crude, WTI crude, gold, 10-year U.S. Treasuries, RAY, ZEC, LEN, CCL.
