Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan: Europe seems unwilling to accept Türkiye into the EU. Joining the EU is not our priority; Europe is the one thats losing out.August 15th - According to the Financial Times, Kyivs air defense forces were almost helpless in the face of a recent round of Russian ballistic missile attacks. The reason is simple: their Patriot missile defense systems ran out of interceptor missiles. This severe shortage of the only weapon capable of intercepting Russian ballistic missiles launched at Ukraine is exposing a critical vulnerability in Ukraines air defense system. As Moscow intensifies its offensive ahead of winter, the pressure on Ukraines air defense is further escalating. Ukrainian officials stated that the limited number of interceptor missiles supplied by the United States has been exhausted in recent weeks. Russia launched a missile attack on Kyiv on August 5th, followed by a second attack three days later. In both attacks, Ukraine failed to intercept any incoming ballistic missiles. Ukrainian officials revealed that due to the increasingly serious shortage of interceptor missiles, the Ukrainian Air Force has stopped routinely publishing the number of missiles launched by Russia to avoid revealing the number of missiles it failed to intercept.August 15th - According to the website of the China Maritime Safety Administration, the Jiangmen Maritime Safety Administration issued a navigation warning stating that military training will be conducted in parts of the South China Sea from 00:00 to 12:00 daily from August 16th to 17th, and entry is prohibited.Russian Foreign Ministry: The potential US and Turkish arms supply plans to Kyiv would weaken Moscow’s relations with Washington and Ankara.Russian Foreign Ministry: A spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry stated that the US and Turkey have been asked to explain their reported plans to provide weapons to Kyiv.

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.
