The market is closely watching the timing of the governments announcement, as it could influence the governments attitude towards further tightening monetary policy by the Bank of Japan. Minami stated that the fundamentals of the Japanese economy are improving, and key indicators such as the inflation rate, output gap, and unit labor costs also suggest that the risk of Japan falling back into persistent deflation is low.Euro Stoxx 50 futures rose 0.32%, German DAX futures rose 0.27%, French CAC40 futures rose 0.24%, and UK FTSE 100 futures rose 0.2%.Market research firm Origo Group: Swedish money market participants expect the five-year CPIF inflation rate to be 2.0% in August, compared with 2.1% in the July survey.August 17th - According to Irans Mehr News Agency, Iranian Revolutionary Guard spokesman Mohbi stated: "In hybrid warfare, the media is an integral part of the operational mechanism, and media professionals play the role of officers on this battlefield.

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.
