Look at your list of priority of operations on page 26 of the User’s Guide. ^ comes before unary minus. Only operations that are at the same level are evaluated left to right.

Algebraic precedence
The HP Prime calculator calculates according to the following order of precedence. Functions at the
same level of precedence are evaluated in order from left to right.
1. Expressions within parentheses. Nested parentheses are evaluated from inner to outer.
2. !, √, reciprocal, square
3. nth root
4. Power, 10n
⋮

One wrinkle with the “left to right” rule the guide lays out is that the power operation is evaluated from right to left.
