Venezuelan Foreign Minister Prasencia announced on social media on the 11th that Venezuela and Israel have agreed to resume consular services. The announcement stated, "The two countries have agreed to establish a coordination mechanism to provide consular services to their citizens residing in the other country when needed." On January 14, 2009, then-Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez decided to sever all relations with Israel. A week earlier, he expelled the Israeli ambassador to Venezuela in support of the Palestinians.On August 12th, Wall Street Journal reporter Nick Timiraos stated that the market will focus on the month-on-month change in Julys inflation data released on Wednesday, as a growing number of FOMC members indicate that inflation readings in the coming months will determine whether they believe the forecast of "inflation falling back to 2% over the next two years" is still achievable without further interest rate hikes. Newly appointed Fed Chairman Warsh has recently expressed skepticism about this framework that links policy-sensitive forecast revisions to high-frequency data. He previously stated that he does not believe the Feds current "data-dependent" policy has much practical value. Furthermore, Nick noted that the working group established by Warsh appears to be partly aimed at helping to build a framework to replace the old one. However, until the new framework is clearly defined, the old framework seems to continue operating.Ukrainian President Zelensky: Ukraine has submitted a proposal to US negotiators to end the war with Russia.Iraqi Prime Minister: The capabilities of the military must be strengthened to ensure domestic stability.The Bank of France expects the French economy to grow by 0.2% in the third quarter.

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.
