Local witnesses say an attack occurred in an area of Tehran, the Iranian capital, near the Assembly of Experts, the body responsible for electing the Supreme Leader.March 3 – The UK government is cutting bond issuance to its lowest level in three years, reflecting an improved fiscal situation. The UK Debt Management Agency announced on Tuesday that it will sell £252.1 billion in bonds in the fiscal year beginning in April. While this figure is slightly higher than the £245 billion expected by banks in a survey, it is significantly lower than the £303.7 billion expected for the current fiscal year. Although the reduced supply is good news for bond investors, UK government bonds were still sold off this week due to inflation concerns fueled by the Middle East conflict, which could prevent the Bank of England from further cutting interest rates. Following the announcement, 10-year government bonds maintained their earlier decline, with the yield rising 15 basis points to 4.52%. This bond sale plan follows Chancellor Reeves economic statement. Although recent fiscal statements have triggered market turmoil, benchmark UK government bond yields fell to their lowest level since 2024 last week due to stronger fiscal conditions and expectations of interest rate cuts.Federal Reserve Governor Bowman: The Federal Reserve should review the effectiveness of its liquidity regulatory rules.Federal Reserve Governor Bowman: The liquidity framework does not adequately address bank stress.Federal Reserve Governor Bowman did not comment on monetary policy or the economic outlook in her prepared remarks for an event related to bank liquidity rules.

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.
