On the same day, the South African National Assembly decided to initiate impeachment proceedings to reopen the investigation into allegations of misconduct against Ramaphosa. On May 8, the Constitutional Court ruled that the National Assemblys obstruction of further investigation four years ago into the theft of approximately $580,000 in cash from Ramaphosas private farm was unconstitutional. The Constitutional Court ordered the National Assembly to establish an impeachment committee to review the relevant reports and decide whether to initiate formal impeachment proceedings against Ramaphosa.On May 12th, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) officially released five international standards in the natural gas sector, spearheaded by my country. These standards will provide a "Chinese solution" for cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and security assurance in the global energy market through precise quantitative indicators. In shale gas development, the series of international standards led by my country, titled "Determination and Calculation of Shale Brittleness Index," addresses the pain points of difficulty in identifying high-quality reservoirs and high costs of fracturing in shale gas development. For the first time, it standardizes a technical framework for compressibility evaluation at the international level. After applying this standard, the accuracy rate of identifying high-quality shale reservoirs is expected to improve by about 10%, supporting an increase in the success rate of single-well exploration and development from the industry average of 65% to over 85%. The operating cost of a single shale gas well can be reduced by more than 10%.

Breaking below the restricted consolidation zone between 0.9678 and 0.9682, the USD/CHF pair is heading lower. Depletion warnings were seen in the asset before, when it failed to rise beyond the key level of 0.9700. The US dollar index (DXY) has entered a corrective phase following a prolonged upswing, and the major currency has lacked the necessary conviction to rise over the key 0.9700 level.

 

After a rapid gain, investors opted to liquidate their long positions, sending the DXY down to around 108.68 at the open. In spite of Federal Reserve (Fed) chairman Jerome Powell's harsh comments at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium, the asset continued its upward trend. The market was shaken by news that the Fed would prioritize slowing inflation over boosting economic growth.

 

A conservative approach to interest rates to moderate down inflation, which is eroding household earnings in the U.S. economy, is entirely acceptable from the perspective of households. Inflation in the United States is skyrocketing, so Fed policymakers can't afford to rest easy even if they show signs of fatigue.

 

Real Retail Sales is the only piece of data that matters to investors in the Swiss franc right now, and experts estimate that it will rise to 3.3% from 1.2%. Investors are aware of rising price pressures in the Swiss economy, which has a negative impact on retail sales figures. Despite this, there has been a noticeable increase in overall demand, which is reflected in the latest economic figures.
