On May 29th, a draft plan revealed that the European Union is attempting to revitalize its struggling semiconductor industry by reviving the "Chip Makers Act," a move expected to require €120 billion (approximately $140 billion) in public-private partnerships by 2035. The upcoming Chip Makers Act 2.0 will focus on practical measures to boost domestic demand for chips within the EU, as the original 2023 act failed in its efforts to expand EU market share. One major project under consideration is a €30 billion investment in a new factory to produce artificial intelligence semiconductors and advanced 3-nanometer chips. Funding for this project will be provided jointly by the European Commission, the EUs executive body, member states, and private companies. The European Commission will also facilitate connections between companies in the telecommunications, defense, and automotive sectors and chip suppliers, with the suppliers developing technologies to meet these companies needs. The draft is scheduled to be submitted to legislators next week, but changes are still possible.Federal Reserve Chairman Mussalem: Warsh will raise profound questions about how the Fed operates.

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.
