Discussions on the project will take place in July.German Chancellor Merz: French President Macron and I have agreed not to proceed with the development of the Joint Fighter Jet.June 10th - U.S. consumer prices rose at their fastest pace in three years in May, as conflict in the Middle East pushed up prices for gasoline and other energy products, providing more justification for the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates unchanged until 2027. Data released Wednesday showed that the CPI rose 4.2% year-over-year in the 12 months ending in May, the largest increase since April 2023. Month-over-month, prices rose 0.5%, following a 0.6% increase in April. The third consecutive month of sharp CPI increases highlights growing pressure on households, as signs emerge that more consumers are drawing on savings to pay for expenses. Furthermore, inflation outpaced wage growth for the second consecutive month, potentially negatively impacting overall economic growth. Meanwhile, the sharp rise in the cost of living is a significant political burden for President Trump and his party as they try to retain control of Congress in the November midterm elections.June 10th - The U.S. Labor Department reported on Wednesday that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 4.2% year-on-year in May, accelerating from 3.8% in the previous month. This is the highest year-on-year increase since April 2023, indicating that high energy costs due to the conflict with Iran continue to exert upward pressure on prices. Americans have been feeling the pain of rising oil prices since the U.S.-Israel attacks on Iran in late February. Rising energy costs have eroded consumer confidence. Currently, there are few signs that oil tankers will receive continued permits to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, meaning that supply pressures in the global energy market are expected to persist.

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.
