Iranian intelligence: Two “terrorist extremist group” action teams were destroyed in southeastern Iran, four terrorists were arrested, and two of them were killed.August 13th - Even after sources indicated that Prime Minister Sanae Takaichis government supported an interest rate hike, the yen remained near a key level against the dollar. The yen held steady on Thursday, trading around 159.36 against the dollar. Historically, when the exchange rate approaches 160, it usually signifies potential government intervention to support the yen. According to sources, the next interest rate adjustment is likely in September or October. They added that the central banks concerns about the weak yen pushing up prices, coupled with the governments desire to enhance the effects of recent US-Japan currency interventions, have led to a consensus on the necessity of an imminent rate hike. Investors said the news had little impact on the yen, as the market had already priced in a rate hike from the Bank of Japan. The yen has continued to weaken recently due to Japans large interest rate differential with the US and its heavy debt burden.A Reuters poll found that 55 out of 69 economists believe the European Central Banks deposit rate will reach 2.50% by the end of 2026.

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.
