A person directly familiar with the operations stated that since March 31st, the authorities have sold approximately $330 million through direct foreign exchange intervention. This resumption of direct intervention (which had been suspended since mid-December last year) highlights the efforts of the Rodriguez interim government to stabilize the exchange rate. Previously, the dollar auction mechanism launched earlier this year had encountered difficulties, with uneven supply putting pressure on the parallel market. According to a report released this week by Ecoanalítica, approximately 80% of dollar demand was rejected by the Venezuelan central bank without explanation. Ecoanalítica analysts noted in the report: "The official foreign exchange supply is highly concentrated in a few entities, coupled with unmet demand from SMEs and individuals, leading to funds flowing into the parallel market. This situation widens the gap between the official exchange rate and the market exchange rate." Consulting firm Síntesis Financiera stated that the government also sold over $1 billion in the official foreign exchange market in March, setting a monthly record since the system was established in 2019.Iranian media reported that the Iranian president, in a phone call with the Pakistani prime minister on Wednesday morning, condemned the breach of the ceasefire agreement in the Iranian islands of Ravan and Siri.

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.
