The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that Russia launched strikes against airports in Dnipropetrovsk and Poltava, Ukraine.The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that Russia launched attacks on military and energy facilities in Kyiv, Ukraine, in retaliation for Ukraines strikes.A report jointly released by the European Union Institute for Security Studies and the French think tank Institut Montaigne shows that Europe is facing a "gloomy future" due to factors such as dependence on US technology and structural weaknesses in Europes domestic chip industry.July 2nd - Two sources familiar with the matter revealed that Japan is gradually reducing its practice of issuing early warnings of intervention risks, instead taking more targeted actions to combat speculators and increase the cost of shorting the yen. The sources stated that, unlike previous cautious verbal warnings before intervention, the Ministry of Finance may suddenly intervene to clear speculative yen positions. Officials are also avoiding mentioning any specific "bottom line" exchange rate levels that might trigger intervention. This shift reflects a more aggressive strategy from the Ministry of Finance, using silence as a policy tool to make the market unpredictable. The sources indicated that this increases the risk of sudden intervention, and the driving factor for this intervention may be the accumulation of speculative short yen positions, rather than the yen exchange rate breaking through a publicly recognized threshold. Two other sources said that this move by the Ministry of Finance, along with the Bank of Japans continued hawkish rhetoric, indicates that both sides are taking coordinated action to curb yen shorting.The yield on Japans 30-year government bonds rose 4.5 basis points to 4.000%, the highest level since May 22.

USD/CHF Consolidates Around 0.9040 As Attention Shifts To US Inflation

The USD/CHF pair continues to trade lacklusterly above the crucial support level of 0.9036 in the early Tokyo session. Investors are shifting their focus to Wednesday's release of United States Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, making it difficult for the Swiss Franc to gain traction.

 

As tensions between China and Taiwan escalate, S&P500 futures have pared some of their gains. The market's anxiety has been alleviated by the increasing intensity of Chinese military exercises around Taiwan Island. In addition, concerns of a recession are likely to cause volatility in US equities.

 

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, stated in an interview with CNN that the recent banking turmoil caused by the dissolution of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Signature Bank has increased the likelihood of a recession in the United States.  Despite the robustness and security of the banking system, the recent turmoil in the financial system is "another weight on the scale" toward recession, he added.

 

The US Dollar Index (DXY) is protecting the 102.00 support level ahead of US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data. According to the consensus, headline inflation will fall from 6.0% to 5.2%. In addition, the headline monthly CPI would decelerate to 0.3% from 0.4% previously reported. As a consequence of oil prices remaining low in March, inflationary pressures are anticipated to become evident.

 

In contrast, the core CPI, which excludes crude and food prices, is anticipated to increase to 5.6% from 5.5%. The tenacity of inflationary pressures is maintained by the resiliency of demand for essential products, as a result of a higher labor cost index. A similar event could compel the Federal Reserve (Fed) to raise rates again at its May monetary policy meeting.

 

Regarding the Swiss Franc, Swiss markets are suspended on Easter Monday. This week, the Producer Price Index (PPI) data will have an impact on the Swiss Franc.
