June 29th - Given the Reserve Bank of Australias recent warning that official interest rates could rise further, issues concerning the Middle East conflict and oil prices remain crucial. Matthew Hassan, Head of Macro Forecasting for Australia at Westpac, expects the normalization of oil and gas supplies to be a "slow and tortuous process." He noted that concerns about persistently high domestic inflation will force the RBA to raise interest rates further in August. Hassan added that this decision will be difficult for the committee given the already weak economic growth.Invesco survey: 61% of central banks believe that the level of US debt has a negative impact on the long-term status of the dollar as a reserve asset.June 29 - On June 28 local time, Venezuelan Acting President Rodriguez stated that power services in La Guaira state, the hardest-hit area by the earthquake, have been restored to 75%, water supply to 68%, and road traffic to approximately 90%, with road and vehicle traffic essentially back to normal.Ruwei Technology announced on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that it plans to issue 28.08 million H shares in its Hong Kong listing at a price of HK$21.66 per share, with trading expected to commence on July 8.June 29 - According to Kintetsu Railway Company, a train derailed at Kyoto Station at approximately 5:13 AM local time on June 29.

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.
