Goldman Sachs: (Regarding the oil market) It expects effective pipeline capacity to increase by 3.8 million barrels per day by the end of 2027; and by the end of 2028, the cumulative increase will reach 7.3 million barrels per day.July 13th - An article by Nick Timiraos, a vocal critic of the Federal Reserve, states that last month, Warsh, as Fed Chairman, chaired his first meeting as Chairman, where a unanimous decision was made to maintain interest rates. Reaching consensus at that time was easy because there was little desire to take action within the committee. However, maintaining that consensus will become more challenging in the coming weeks. Some of his colleagues have heightened concerns about inflation, and they may push for discussions on rate hikes when the Fed meets on July 28-29. Warsh will have the opportunity to guide this consensus when he testifies before Congress this week. At that time, he will have access to the latest June inflation data—one of the last batch of important data released before the meeting.July 13 (Yonhap) -- South Koreas ruling Democratic Party and the government agreed on Monday to increase support for the governments recently announced large-scale chip cluster and artificial intelligence investment projects, and pledged to expedite related legislation. At the end of last month, the South Korean government announced a plan for "three super projects," envisioning a national transformation driven by semiconductors, physical artificial intelligence, and AI data centers, with a total investment of 4,755 trillion won (approximately US$3.16 trillion). According to the plan, Samsung Electronics envisions building two memory chip manufacturing plants in Gwangju and the surrounding Jeolla Province, while SK Hynix will build two additional wafer fabs. Acting leader of the Democratic Party, Han Byung-do, stated, "Given that the ruling party has established a special committee to support the three super projects, we will actively provide legislative and budgetary support." Han added that the Democratic Party will strive to pass a special law concerning "super special zones" by the end of the year to relax regulations and better support the plan.Basic Semiconductor (09971.HK) rose more than 10% after announcing that it would raise prices for some of its products.Iranian Revolutionary Guard: Retaliation continues.

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.
