Ukrainian President Zelensky: Russian satellite monitoring shows that Moscow is assisting Tehran in its strike operations in the Middle East.The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office advises against traveling to any area within 10 kilometers of the Saudi border with Yemen; except where necessary, avoid areas between 10 and 80 kilometers from the Saudi border with Yemen.On July 26, local time, US President Trump ordered the US military not to launch new airstrikes against Iran that day, ending nearly two weeks and 13 days of daily strikes. It is understood that Trump had previously approved daily strike plans submitted by the military, but after receiving a new operational plan on the 25th, he did not approve its implementation and instead directly ordered a halt to airstrikes for the day. It is unclear whether this decision is merely a one-day temporary measure or signifies a pause in military operations. Reportedly, hours before Trump ordered the suspension of airstrikes, an Omani delegation arrived in Tehran to negotiate new arrangements for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Two regional sources familiar with the negotiations stated that progress had been made, and Oman and Iran are expected to reach an agreement by the end of the week, at which time Trump will decide whether to accept the proposed solution.A spokesperson for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard stated: "In 15 days of fighting, we destroyed 11 U.S. fighter jets and helicopters."Irans Ministry of Oil: Despite facing war and sanctions, more than 60% of the annual oil revenue budget target has been achieved.

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.
