The World Bank will abandon its previous target of allocating 45% of its lending resources to projects with climate-synergistic benefits. It will extend its Climate Change Action Plan, but simultaneously scrap the previous 35% climate-synergistic lending target. The Climate Change Action Plan helps to better embed "smart development" into the needs and priorities of client countries.Iranian President: The relevant "memorandum of understanding" is a bilateral matter, and if the US abides by the terms of the agreement, Iran will also fulfill its own obligations.Sources say Comcast may build data centers to capitalize on the growth of artificial intelligence.The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 305.97 points, or 0.59%, to close at 52,182.08 on Monday, June 29; the S&P 500 rose 86.34 points, or 1.17%, to close at 7,440.36; and the Nasdaq Composite rose 522.53 points, or 2.07%, to close at 25,820.14.On June 30th, Paul Ziana, head of technical research at Bank of America, stated that investors should hedge against further rallies in the S&P 500 and prepare for a potential "three-wave correction" in the coming months. Ziana wrote that the S&P 500 has risen nearly 17% since its March lows, but the rally has shown signs of fatigue since the benchmark index hit its recent peak on June 2nd. He indicated that the S&P 500 could fall to 6850 points, a drop of approximately 7.6% from current levels. Ziana stated, "The post-Iran ceasefire rally is becoming increasingly volatile as the risk of a correction accumulates." He added that price action appears "overstretched" and momentum is deteriorating, therefore a "defensive stance" should be adopted between July and September.

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.
