June 17, Harvey Bradley, co-head of global interest rates at Insight Investment, said in a report that the Federal Reserves economic forecasts are likely to remain largely unchanged. The basic forecast is that the Fed will cut interest rates twice this year and then further cut the policy rate in 2026, with the final interest rate reaching 3%. This should be driven by economic growth that is still below trend, and the Fed may describe this landing area as "roughly neutral." However, as the first signs of tariff-related inflation begin to emerge, some officials may take a cautious approach. This is especially true as tensions in the Middle East have the potential to further threaten the inflation situation. It cannot be ruled out that the forecast will change to reflect a rate cut this year.Norwegian Labor Party: A revised budget agreement was reached in parliament, with overall oil fund spending remaining unchanged.Frontline, one of the worlds largest tanker operators: Currently responding to an incident involving its own tanker Front Eagle, which is managed by Anglo Eastern and collided with the Adalynn vessel in Fujairah.

As China's monthly activity data disappoints offshore Chinese yuan (CNH) investors, the USD/CNH continues to draw buyers for a third consecutive day on Monday, advancing 0.23 percent intraday to 7.2850 as of press time. Concerns regarding covid difficulties in the dragon kingdom and apprehensions regarding a hawkish move by the Federal Reserve also encourage buyers to remain positive.

 

As a result, China's official NBS Manufacturing PMI for October dropped to 49.2, compared to the expected 50.0 and the previous 50.1. In addition, the Non-Manufacturing PMI fell to 48.7, below market estimates of 51.9 and previous readings of 50.6. Following the publication of the data, Reuters produced an article "In October, China's factory activity unexpectedly dropped, according to a survey released by the government on Monday. Global demand decline and strict COVID-19 regulations impeded manufacturing."

 

Due to the US dollar's status as a safe haven, the shutdown of a casino resort in Macau and Russian concerns also add to the USD/appreciation. Russia, which invaded Ukraine on February 24, halted its participation in the Black Sea agreement for a "indefinite period" on Saturday because it could not "guarantee the protection of civilian ships" traveling under the treaty after its Black Sea naval was attacked.

 

The fact that US Treasury yields are directionless after a bad economic report is notable, as is the fact that US stocks futures are seeing modest losses as the Dow Jones prepares for its highest monthly gain since 1976. In addition, the US Dollar Index (DXY) demonstrates a three-day increase near 110.80, with an intraday increase of 0.1% as of press time.

 

In conclusion, the USD/CNH bulls may maintain control because China's fundamentals are weaker than those of the United States. Concerns that the Fed may suggest slowing the pace of rate hikes beginning in December have recently appeared to test buyers of currency pairs.
