Ukrainian military: hit Russian Saratov oil refinery in night raid.On September 16, Renisha Chainani, head of research at Augmont, a Mumbai-based refiner, said on the sidelines of the India Gold Conference in New Delhi: "The long-term bull market for gold looks unchanged as demand continues to grow at a faster pace, especially from central banks and ETFs. But gold is currently in an overbought range and may see a 5-6% correction in the short term, followed by consolidation and rising again in 2026 to a new high above $4,200."Governor of the Bank of Thailand: Will support gold transactions in US dollars.German Chancellor Merz: Seeking to strengthen EU cooperation in security, economy, foreign and domestic policy.On September 16, Standard & Poors predicted that the Federal Reserve would cut interest rates by 25 basis points this week, bringing them to a range of 4% to 4.25%, amid cooling employment data and persistently high inflation.

USD/CHF Consolidates in a Range of 0.9320-0.9350 on Expectations of Rate Reversion to Neutral

  • 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.
