On August 25, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a statement on the 24th, saying he had approved the formal withdrawal of the US designation of Syria as a "state sponsor of terrorism." The Syrian transitional government welcomed the US decision. Rubio stated that the Syrian transitional government had taken significant steps in counterterrorism, and the US decision "removed the last major obstacle to private sector investment in Syria" and will "promote Syrias economic recovery and its reintegration into the global economy." In the same statement, Rubio also announced the removal of the Liberation Army of Syria (HAL) from the US list of designated terrorist organizations.UK Maritime Trade Organization: Crew reports safety, but related environmental impacts were unclear at the time of reporting.The UK Maritime Trade Organization has received reports of an incident 9 nautical miles northeast of Ash Hisha, Oman, where the tanker captain reported that the vessel was attacked by an unknown projectile, resulting in damage to the engine room and loss of power.On August 25th, former Bank of Japan official Seiji Adachi stated that the Bank of Japan is very likely to raise interest rates next month, confirming widespread market predictions. In an interview, Adachi said, "The Bank of Japan is essentially in a dilemma. The market has largely priced in a rate hike. If the central bank doesnt raise rates, the yen could weaken significantly again." This comes after US Treasury Secretary Bessant indicated that policy action was needed after foreign exchange intervention and expressed hope that Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda would raise interest rates. "Bessant has repeatedly hinted that the Bank of Japan will be the next institution to take action," Adachi said. "Given this, the government cannot tell the Bank of Japan dont do it." Adachi pointed out that Japans inflation momentum is strong, and after the expected rate hike in September, the Bank of Japan is likely to continue raising rates. He stated, "I think the Bank of Japan will act again in January next year, and the rate hike cycle is very likely to continue for some time, even exceeding the previously considered end point of the cycle at 1.25% or 1.5%."Boeing (BA.N) has contracts related to foreign military sales projects, with customers including Japan, Israel, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Singapore, Indonesia, and Poland.

In reaction to the dismal market environment, the US dollar index (DXY) has gained, and the USD/CHF pair is swiftly approaching the key level of 0.9600. After defending Monday's low around 0.9480, the pair had a greater reverse on Tuesday, as the risk-aversion theme strengthened the attraction of the DXY.

 

Following US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's travel to Taiwan to support Taiwan's local government despite China's wishes, tensions between the US and China have increased. In reaction to the death threats made against Pelosi during her private travel to Taiwan, the US is anticipated to adopt sanctions against China, which encouraged the gloomy market sentiment.

 

In the meanwhile, the DXY has achieved a three-day high of 106.55, although the gain may wane ahead of Friday's US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data. According to market expectations, the U.S. economy added 250,000 jobs to the labor force in July.

 

During a brief period, a number of significant IT companies in the United States abandoned the hiring process, resulting in payroll statistics that multiplied. If the same thing occurs, the Federal Reserve (Fed) will be compelled to speak less about policy rates.

 

On the Swiss franc front, investors anticipate the release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) numbers. An early estimate of the annual inflation rate places it at 3.5%, little higher than the prior estimate of 3.4%. As a result, the Swiss National Bank (SNB) will be compelled to boost interest rates.
