Iraqs Ministry of Oil: Iraqs oil exports reached 4 million barrels per day, with an average daily export volume of 2.6 million barrels in September.Pakistan has held talks with Iran to secure the safe passage of another shipment of liquefied natural gas (LNG) through the Strait of Hormuz, offering some respite to the South Asian nation struggling with energy shortages. Ship tracking data shows the tanker loaded LNG at Qatars Ras Raffan facility in late June and transited the strait over the weekend; signals now indicate it will arrive at Pakistans import facility on Tuesday. Sources say the passage is the result of negotiations between government officials and will mark the second such delivery of Qatari LNG this month. Pakistan had previously considered tendering for the shipment if it could not pass through the Strait of Hormuz. However, a successful delivery is preferable for the government, which wants to avoid purchasing more expensive cargoes from the spot market.On September 21, a spokesperson for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard stated that some people believe, for example, that Yemen and Lebanon are our proxy forces.

USD/CHF Consolidates in a Range of 0.9320-0.9350 on Expectations of Rate Reversion to Neutral

Tips

  • USD/CHF remained stuck around 0.9350 despite a big increase in US Treasury yields.

  • The DXY is aiming for 100.00 as traders increase their expectations for an aggressive rate hike.

  • Russia resigns from the United Nations Human Rights Council.

 

Since Thursday, the USD/CHF pair has been swinging within a narrow band of 0.9318-0.9348 as Federal Reserve (Fed) policymakers have begun prescribing a reversion to neutral rates from ultra-loose monetary policy postures.

 

After commenting on the amount to which the Fed will raise interest rates in future monetary policies, members of the Fed's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) have changed their focus to calling for a return to neutral policy. The ultra-loose monetary policies and helicopter money used to boost growth following the Covid-19 outbreak have served their purpose, and it would be preferable to return to normal rates and a self-sufficient economy. Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic stated on Thursday that while it is quite acceptable for the Fed to move policy closer to neutral, it should go cautiously, according to Reuters.

 

On the Russia-Ukraine front, Russia is expelled from the United Nations (UN) Human Rights Council after its members voted against the Kremlin's war crimes in Bucha, Ukraine. Additionally, US lawmakers have decided to prohibit Moscow from importing oil, gas, and coal. Additionally, the former has opted to revoke its 'Most Favored Nation' trade designation, resulting in higher tariffs for Moscow.

 

Meanwhile, the US dollar index is heading towards the enchanted level of 100.00, fueled by forecasts for better US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data next week. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note has recaptured a three-year high of 2.66 percent as rate rise worries resurface.
