Bank of Montreal: Expects the Bank of Canada to cut interest rates in September.The Federal Reserve accepted a total of $20.997 billion from 15 counterparties in fixed-rate reverse repurchase operations.Roblox (RBLX.N) executives: The company has more than 100 experience projects and generates more than $1 million in revenue each year.On September 6th, U.S. Treasury Secretary Jeff Bessant harshly criticized the Federal Reserve for jeopardizing its independence through "mission creep" and called for an independent review of the Federal Reserve, including its monetary policy. In an op-ed published in the Wall Street Journal on Friday, Bessant wrote, "At the heart of independence lies public credibility and political legitimacy, both of which have been undermined by the Feds overreach." The article expanded on Bessants consistent assertion that the Fed engaged in a "gain-of-function monetary policy experiment." He criticized the Fed for injecting excessive stimulus through quantitative easing and overregulating the banking system after the 2007-09 financial crisis. Bessant stated, "Unconventional policies like quantitative easing should only be used in truly urgent situations, coordinated with other parts of the federal government." After repeatedly calling on Fed Chairman Jerome Powell to conduct an internal review of the Feds non-monetary policy functions, Bessant expanded his proposed investigation of the Fed, stating, "An honest, independent, and nonpartisan review of the entire institution is also necessary, including monetary policy, supervision, communications, staffing, and research."Baker Hughes: U.S. drillers increased the number of oil and gas rigs for the first time in seven weeks.

The USD/CHF exchange rate is approaching 0.9860 in anticipation of US ISM Services PMI data

The USD/CHF pair has been steadily climbing since the start of the Tokyo session, and it is currently trading near a six-week high of 0.9860. After a month of uninterrupted control by bulls, the asset is now moving sideways. The major is trading between 0.9783 and 0.9859; a rise is expected.

 

Since the favorable US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report was released on Friday, the asset's value has risen considerably. After the US economy added 315k jobs in August, beating predictions of 300k, the Federal Reserve (Fed) is more likely to raise interest rates by 75 bps for a third consecutive time. The Federal Reserve's policymakers must face the unsettling reality of a sluggish response to rising inflation. However, the Federal Reserve's worries are fading as the US economy posts a series of strong job growth.

 

Meanwhile, despite an increase in the Unemployment Rate, the value of the US dollar index (DXY) reached 110.03, a new 20-year high. The latest unemployment rate report came in at 3.7%, which is higher than both forecasts and the preceding report (3.5%). For the time being, investors will be focusing on the US ISM Services PMI data that will be released on Tuesday. Forecasts indicate a decline in economic indicators, from 56.7 to 54.9. As Monday is the United States' Labor Day, the markets will be closed.

 

As a result, the Swiss franc has fallen in value due to disappointing data on Real Retail Sales. The 2.6% GDP reading was lower than the 3.3% predicted by economists, but it was higher than the 0.7% reading reported in the prior update. Meanwhile, the annual rate of increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) has risen to 3.5%, which is higher than both market forecasts and the prior reading of 3.4%.
