Liu Haoling, Vice Chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), stated in his address that China is a major contributor to and a stabilizing force for global economic growth, and a fertile ground for foreign investment. Since the beginning of this year, foreign capital has steadily flowed into the Chinese stock market through various channels. As of now, overseas investors hold over 4 trillion yuan in A-share market capitalization, becoming significant participants in Chinas capital market.On May 28th, European Central Bank Chief Economist Lane stated on Thursday that even if the Middle East conflict is resolved quickly, the resulting energy shock could still have a lasting impact on inflation. While historically, oil prices tend to fall back to their original levels after a surge, the current situation may be different as countries replenish their inventories or adjust their energy mix, potentially keeping energy costs high. Lane stated, "Global oil supply experienced a fairly rapid and significant drop overnight, a situation previously masked by inventories. Even as the initial energy shock begins to subside, the second wave of effects will continue for some time." Lane indicated that some policy lessons can be learned from past energy shocks, such as how rising energy costs can suddenly push up inflation and trigger "various non-linear" mechanisms, thus broadening the scope of price increases. "But this is different from the non-linear situation four years ago," when supply disruptions caused by the war in Ukraine and strong demand from the economic reopening following the COVID-19 pandemic jointly pushed up inflation. Lane stated that central banks must face any major shocks and their potential impact on inflation, but should avoid overreacting when formulating monetary policy.

  • 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.
