The consumer confidence index, as a behavioral indicator, has certain flaws.Bank of England Governor Bailey: Banks have remained resilient.Federal Reserves Goolsby: As long as consumers remain strong, economic growth will also be strong.April 14th - According to a new report released by White House economists, the United States faces a shortage of at least 10 million single-family homes, a figure higher than previous estimates by the government and private sector. According to the latest annual "Presidents Economic Report" from the White House Council of Economic Advisers, "If single-family home construction and the growth in the stock of such homes had not declined significantly since 2008, but had continued at their historical pace, there would be 10 million or more single-family homes available today." Freddie Mac, a government-controlled company, stated in November 2024 that based on demand driven by population growth, the U.S. housing supply gap is 3.7 million units. The National Association of Realtors, in June 2021, estimated the housing gap at 5.5 million units based on trends over the past 20 years compared to the construction rate between 1968 and 2000. This report comes as policymakers in Washington are trying to demonstrate to voters that they are taking action on high housing prices. High housing costs are a key issue in the upcoming midterm elections, with affordability expected to be a central theme.

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.
