August 12 – “This year marks the start of the nation’s 15th Five-Year Plan. The development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is a crucial entry point for Hong Kong to integrate into and serve the overall development of the nation. The Hong Kong SAR government will continue to leverage Hong Kong’s advantages in connecting domestic and international markets under the ‘One Country, Two Systems’ framework, actively serving the high-quality development of the Greater Bay Area, supporting enterprises from mainland cities and other provinces and municipalities in the Greater Bay Area to ‘go global,’ and simultaneously attracting international high-end talent and capital to ‘come in,’ injecting momentum into development,” said Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee on August 11. The public consultation on Hong Kong’s first five-year plan will conclude on August 14, with specific details planned for release next month. Lee stated that Hong Kong is proactively aligning with national development strategies, outlining its vision and goals for the next five years from a macro and forward-looking perspective, seizing the enormous opportunities brought by the nation’s 15th Five-Year Plan, and promoting Hong Kong’s better integration into and service to the overall development of the nation.The yield on Japans 30-year government bonds rose 3.0 basis points to 3.980%.On August 12th, the highest 7-day annualized yield of Tencent Wealth Managements "Current Account +" was 1.0520%, and the lowest was 0.6810%.

USD/CHF Consolidates Around 0.9040 As Attention Shifts To US Inflation

The USD/CHF pair continues to trade lacklusterly above the crucial support level of 0.9036 in the early Tokyo session. Investors are shifting their focus to Wednesday's release of United States Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, making it difficult for the Swiss Franc to gain traction.

 

As tensions between China and Taiwan escalate, S&P500 futures have pared some of their gains. The market's anxiety has been alleviated by the increasing intensity of Chinese military exercises around Taiwan Island. In addition, concerns of a recession are likely to cause volatility in US equities.

 

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, stated in an interview with CNN that the recent banking turmoil caused by the dissolution of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Signature Bank has increased the likelihood of a recession in the United States.  Despite the robustness and security of the banking system, the recent turmoil in the financial system is "another weight on the scale" toward recession, he added.

 

The US Dollar Index (DXY) is protecting the 102.00 support level ahead of US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data. According to the consensus, headline inflation will fall from 6.0% to 5.2%. In addition, the headline monthly CPI would decelerate to 0.3% from 0.4% previously reported. As a consequence of oil prices remaining low in March, inflationary pressures are anticipated to become evident.

 

In contrast, the core CPI, which excludes crude and food prices, is anticipated to increase to 5.6% from 5.5%. The tenacity of inflationary pressures is maintained by the resiliency of demand for essential products, as a result of a higher labor cost index. A similar event could compel the Federal Reserve (Fed) to raise rates again at its May monetary policy meeting.

 

Regarding the Swiss Franc, Swiss markets are suspended on Easter Monday. This week, the Producer Price Index (PPI) data will have an impact on the Swiss Franc.
