Zelenskyy also proposed a quid pro quo: agreeing to Trumps demand to cease attacks on Russian oil refineries in exchange for more Patriot air defense missiles. He stated, "We dont attack Russian diesel, and you give us Patriot missile systems to protect our facilities. But they only want us to stop attacking diesel. If we do that, they will cut us off in some way." Zelenskyy also listed a series of unfriendly actions by Washington towards Kyiv, including deliberately slowing down the Starlink network speed, which is crucial to the Ukrainian military, and delaying the delivery of already scarce Patriot interceptor missiles. "I think they have taken some steps to persuade Ukraine to surrender," Zelenskyy said. "I dont want to believe that our American partners think that the war against Russia can be ended faster at the expense of Ukraine. But it looks like that."Saudi civil defense officials said the danger alert for Abha has been lifted.Saudi Arabia’s civil defense has issued a warning about potential dangers in Abha.

The US dollar/Japanese yen exchange rate is getting closer to last week's 24-year high of 140.80. In the wake of the US dollar index (DXY) hitting a fresh 20-year high of 110.03, the asset is gaining a great deal of momentum. The DXY has been trading at high levels and is expected to continue its upward trend.

 

The DXY has risen to prominence on currency markets as optimism about US employment data (as measured by Nonfarm Payrolls or NFP) has persisted over the previous week. The Fed's satisfaction with the US economy's August job gains is boosting the asset's value (Fed). Even though pricing pressures are having a significant influence on household income, recent depletion signals are not sufficient to persuade consumers to raise their spending habit (quantity-wise). Therefore, higher employment creation will encourage Fed policymakers to sound hawkish without hesitation.

 

Future attention will center on the release of the US ISM Services PMI. As the US economy is recognized for its IT giants and its offering of IT services to emerging nations, the value of the US Services PMI is unusually high. From 56.7, economists expect the economy to slow to 54.9. This may put an end to the DXY's dream rally, and the asset may encounter considerable challenges.

 

Due to the holiday on Monday, the US markets won't be trading, thus the asset's movement will be determined largely by market sentiment.

 

Investors are waiting for Tokyo to release secondary economic statistics on Monday. There is consensus that the Jibun Bank Services PMI will hold steady at 49.2. Although the release of Japan's GDP figures will continue to be a major forthcoming event. The GDP is forecast to increase to 0.7% from 0.5% in the third quarter. The annualized figure, at 2.9%, is much higher than the 2.2% that was previously reported.
