On May 23, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghae stated that the core purpose of Pakistani Army Chief of Staff Munirs visit to Iran was to convey and exchange specific information between Iran and the United States. He said, "At this stage, all our core focus is on ending this war of imposition." Baghae indicated that the two sides have held several rounds of intensive exchanges of views on different clauses in the proposal. They have also conducted in-depth discussions on issues where they have serious disagreements. Given the consistently contradictory stance of the United States, Iran cannot currently assert that this negotiation process will undergo a fundamental change. He said, "Our views have indeed converged somewhat, but this does not mean an agreement has been reached; it merely allows us to explore a possible solution."On May 23, an Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson stated that the current mediation process with the United States is "time-consuming and laborious" because the USs hostility dates back decades.

The USD/CHF pair has detected buying activity after dropping close to the round-level support of 0.9200 to begin the Asian session. In spite of the upbeat market sentiment, the Swiss franc extended its rebound above the immediate resistance level of 0.9200.

 

After a corrective move on Monday, S&P500 futures are displaying a mediocre performance as the markets fail to sustain a recovery. Long liquidation was the result of stocks' extended uptrend. The US Dollar Index (DXY) has reestablished its seven-month low at about 102.50, pushed by increased recession fears following a major dip in economic activity and less hawkish monetary policy predictions following a strong drop in wage inflation.

 

As investors' appetite for risk decreases once more, the demand for U.S. government bonds continues to decline. This has contributed to 10-year US Treasury yields exceeding 3.53 percent.

 

Tuesday's highlight will be Federal Reserve (Fed) chairman Jerome Powell's address, which will clarify the monetary policy decision for February. The remarks of Atlanta Fed bank president Raphael Bostic provide investors with a wealth of actionable information. A Fed policymaker forecasts that there will be no recession in CY2023, but has severely reduced GDP projections to 1%. He anticipates that interest rates will have to remain elevated until at least 2024.

 

On the subject of the Swiss currency, the Swiss National Bank (SNB) will be compelled to maintain a modest monetary policy if the Real Retail Sales (Nov) data declines annually. The economic data decreased by 1.3%, when the consensus forecast predicted a 3.0% expansion.
