On June 13, European Central Bank Governing Council member and Bundesbank President Jean-Claude Nagel stated in an interview with German radio that even if the war with Iran ends quickly, prices may remain high for a longer period. Nagel said, "We may not even be able to return to the data levels we were based on before the conflict, because supply chains have clearly changed, and risk premiums may have increased." He was referring to the premiums that might be required for transporting goods through the Strait of Hormuz. Nagel stated, "I almost doubt we will ever return to the state before this regional conflict." The world "may continue to be affected by uncertainties and changes beyond the conflict." He indicated that interest rate hikes in the short term would make "refinancing" more expensive. "But in the long run, by clearly defining price stability as part of (economic health), we are making the greatest contribution to the economy."On June 13, the Argentine Ministry of Health announced that no rodents carrying the hantavirus had been found in Mendoza Province in western Argentina.

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.
