On August 22, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghae said that the United States announcement of new economic sanctions against Iran goes far beyond an ongoing illegal "economic war" against a single country and has no basis in international law. Baghae posted on social media early on August 22 that such sanctions violate the principle of sovereign equality in the UN Charter. This "economic coercion that forces a sovereign state to change its legitimate policy choices" constitutes a completely illegal act.On August 22, it was reported that on August 21, the foreign ministers of eight countries—Egypt, Jordan, the UAE, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar—issued a joint statement condemning Israels continued illegal settlement policy in the occupied Palestinian territories and firmly opposing the "E1 Block" settlement plan and related settlement activities in East Jerusalem. Israel occupied East Jerusalem and parts of the West Bank during the 1967 Six-Day War and has been building Jewish settlements there. On August 18, the Israeli government issued a tender notice for 1,234 housing units in the "E1 Block" settlement project. In August 2025, Israeli Finance Minister and far-right politician Smothrich claimed he planned to approve the construction of 3,401 housing units in the "E1 Block," aiming to "destroy the Palestinian state concept."U.S. Energy Secretary: Oil flows smoothly through the Strait of Hormuz thanks to the protection of the U.S. Navy.US President Trump: We will never let Americans fall behind, because we prioritize America.On August 22, a U.S. federal district judge overturned the Trump administrations policy of suspending the issuance of immigrant visas to applicants from 75 countries, stating that the policy exceeded Secretary of State Rubios legal authority. District Judge Janet Vargas stated that the policy announced by the State Department in January was "clearly illegal" and violated federal immigration law. The Trump administration may appeal, and the policy remains in effect.

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.
