According to three sources familiar with the matter, executives at the social media company have been exploring "innovative" fundraising methods as the company plans to significantly increase its AI-related capital spending to as much as $145 billion this year, with further increases planned for 2027. The discussions have intensified following Alphabets successful funding round this week—which was driven by strong investor demand and increased by $5 billion from the original plan—sources said. However, Meta has not yet hired investment banks and may ultimately not issue new shares. One source cautioned that it is too early to say how the company has decided on its course of action, as all fundraising options are still under consideration.According to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), in the week ending June 2, speculators increased their net short positions in CBOT U.S. 2-year Treasury futures by 94,942 contracts to 1,350,188 contracts, U.S. 5-year Treasury futures by 46,091 contracts to 1,369,218 contracts, U.S. 10-year Treasury futures by 41,621 contracts to 829,575 contracts, and ultra-long-term Treasury futures by 27,868 contracts to 287,710 contracts.New York silver futures fell below $68 per ounce, down 8.08% on the day.Bank of England Governor Bailey: Artificial intelligence will grow faster than any previous innovation.

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.
