On May 9th, Tesla announced a recall of 173 Cybertruck vehicles due to a structural defect in the braking components that could pose a serious safety risk. According to a notification from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the recall covers 2024-2026 Cybertruck models equipped with 18-inch steel wheels. The defect involves brake disc stud holes that are susceptible to mechanical stress and cracking when the vehicle is driven on bumpy roads or during steering maneuvers. With continued vehicle operation, this potential hazard could cause the wheel bolts to eventually break or detach, resulting in a loss of vehicle stability and significantly increasing the risk of collision and injury.On May 9th, the 130,000th China-Europe freight train, X8037, departed from Zhengzhou Putian Station for Hamburg, Germany, with an estimated journey time of approximately 16 days.

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.
