The House Clerk read their resignation letters.On April 15th, according to AXIOS, the Trump administration eased sanctions on Venezuelas state-owned financial system on Tuesday. Venezuelan state-owned banks and other large financial institutions can now legally use US dollars, directly receive billions of dollars in oil sales revenue, and re-enter the global financial system to support their damaged economy. This move by the US Treasury Department also aims to boost Venezuelas oil industry and stabilize the new government led by acting president Rodriguez. Following the US takeover and detention of former President Maduro on January 3rd, the US seized control of Venezuelas state-owned oil company, PDVSAs, oil revenues. However, subsequent administrative obstacles imposed by US financial sanctions delayed the transfer of billions of dollars to the Venezuelan central bank and slowed the countrys energy development projects. This is not a complete lifting of sanctions, but rather the issuance of licenses through the Treasury Departments Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) to specific financial institutions, enabling them to participate in the US financial system.

In reaction to the dismal market environment, the US dollar index (DXY) has gained, and the USD/CHF pair is swiftly approaching the key level of 0.9600. After defending Monday's low around 0.9480, the pair had a greater reverse on Tuesday, as the risk-aversion theme strengthened the attraction of the DXY.

 

Following US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's travel to Taiwan to support Taiwan's local government despite China's wishes, tensions between the US and China have increased. In reaction to the death threats made against Pelosi during her private travel to Taiwan, the US is anticipated to adopt sanctions against China, which encouraged the gloomy market sentiment.

 

In the meanwhile, the DXY has achieved a three-day high of 106.55, although the gain may wane ahead of Friday's US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data. According to market expectations, the U.S. economy added 250,000 jobs to the labor force in July.

 

During a brief period, a number of significant IT companies in the United States abandoned the hiring process, resulting in payroll statistics that multiplied. If the same thing occurs, the Federal Reserve (Fed) will be compelled to speak less about policy rates.

 

On the Swiss franc front, investors anticipate the release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) numbers. An early estimate of the annual inflation rate places it at 3.5%, little higher than the prior estimate of 3.4%. As a result, the Swiss National Bank (SNB) will be compelled to boost interest rates.
