July 9th - According to China.com, the State Council Information Office will hold a press conference at 10:00 AM on Tuesday, July 14th, 2026, where Wang Jun, Deputy Director of the General Administration of Customs, will introduce the import and export situation in the first half of 2026 and answer questions from reporters.July 9th - Following the second consecutive day of US strikes against Iran, the fragile ceasefire agreement between the two countries is increasingly unstable, bringing traffic in the Strait of Hormuz to a near standstill on Thursday. Ship tracking data shows that observable traffic on this vital global energy corridor is concentrated primarily on the northern side of the waterway, via Iranian-approved routes, while the US-backed Oman corridor is virtually deserted. Among large vessels, only one very large crude carrier (VLCC) sanctioned by the US has left the Persian Gulf, while one container ship flying the Iranian flag was seen in the strait. However, it cannot be ruled out that some vessels may have passed through the strait with their transponders switched off. This contrasts sharply with recent daily activity in the Strait of Hormuz. Kpler data shows that in the three weeks since the US and Iran reached a temporary agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the average daily transit of cargo ships has been 34, peaking at 59 on June 24th, compared to less than 20 on most days during the war.July 9th - According to a press conference held today by the National Forestry and Grassland Administration, as part of the APEC China Year series of events, under the guidance of the Ministry of Natural Resources, the National Forestry and Grassland Administration, the Peoples Government of Guangdong Province, and the Peoples Government of Shenzhen Municipality will convene the APEC Forestry Ministerial Meeting in Shenzhen from July 27th to 28th.

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.
