Hungarian Prime Minister Majol: Hungary is considering several options for introducing a wealth tax.On June 11th, MHA economic advisor Joe Nellis stated that despite widespread concerns about sluggish economic growth, policymakers are making a wise decision to act decisively to curb inflation, given the European Central Banks (ECB) expected interest rate hike on Thursday. He pointed out that the ECB has faced criticism for its slow response in 2022-2023, leading to inflation exceeding 10%. "Although economic growth in the region remains weak, the ECB is demonstrating its readiness to act," Nellis noted. On the positive side, higher interest rates could attract foreign investment, strengthening the euro and putting downward pressure on prices, although this cannot fully offset the costs to economic growth.Tencent Holdings (00700.HK): On June 11, it spent approximately HK$500 million to repurchase shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.On June 11th, JD.com officially released its Agent Autonomous Payment Protocol (A2P2).

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.
