The post Aussie lower ahead of September PMI data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
The Australian Dollar (AUD) is trading slightly lower against the US Dollar (USD) on Friday, with the AUD/USD pair at 0.6595. But with the flash S&P Global Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) figures for September due on Monday at 23:00 GMT, caution could be the order of the day for traders. These releases will shed new light on Australia’s economic dynamics at a crucial time when the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) appears to have reached a turning point in its monetary policy. Strong PMIs in August: A basis for AUD support The latest PMI figures released by S&P Global highlighted a significant acceleration in business activity in August, with the Composite PMI climbing to 55.5, its highest level since April 2022, confirming a stable growth dynamic for over 11 months. At that time, the Manufacturing PMI reached 53.0, marking its strongest rise in three years. This figure testifies to an improvement in order books, a modest return to external demand, but above all to renewed confidence among manufacturers. As S&P Global pointed out, “manufacturing activity has returned to a pace of expansion not seen since September 2022”, thanks in particular to new orders from the USA, Europe and Asia-Pacific. In services, the picture is even more encouraging. The index jumped to 55.8, buoyed by the strongest rise in exports since June 2022, as well as an upturn in employment not seen since April. S&P Global points out that service companies benefited from robust demand and increased confidence, prompting them to step up their promotional efforts and broaden their customer base. A continuation or improvement of these levels in September would reinforce the perception of a robust Australian economy, further supporting the Australian Dollar against its peers. Conversely, a bearish surprise, particularly on services or exports, could reopen the debate on…
The post US Senate votes against both of Trump’s funding bill, risking government shutdown appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
The Senate just rejected both short-term funding bills Friday, one from each party, with no new plan in sight. The government is now hurtling straight toward a shutdown at midnight on September 30. Lawmakers are skipping town for over a week while the clock keeps ticking. There’s no plan to meet again until hours before the deadline. Republicans in the Senate shut down a Democratic bill in a 47–45 vote. That bill would’ve kept the government running through October 31 and added limits on Trump’s power to hold back money already approved by Congress. It also included health care provisions, which Republicans wanted no part of. Democrats kill GOP bill after House passes it earlier in the day Democrats, in return, blocked the Republican plan in a 48–44 vote, even after it had passed in the House that same morning. Only one Democrat, Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, supported the GOP version. That wasn’t close to the 10 Democrats who crossed party lines in March to avoid the last shutdown. This time, they stood their ground. Two Republicans, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Rand Paul of Kentucky, also voted against the GOP bill. Chuck Schumer made it clear Friday that Democrats won’t back a funding bill that ignores Medicaid cuts or skips health insurance subsidies. He said: “They’re voting like they think the status quo is good enough, even though they’ve heard from so many of their constituents the fear of hospitals closing, of health care being diminished, of premiums going way up.” The Democratic plan tried to reverse those cuts from the July bill and protect coverage before subsidies expire later this year. Democrats also slammed Republicans for refusing to meet. Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries had pushed for a bipartisan summit to work out a deal.…
