South Koreas unadjusted current account was US$10.14 billion in May, compared with US$5.7017 billion in the previous month.July 4th, the U.S. Congress approved comprehensive tax and budget legislation on Thursday, which means that the $7,500 tax credit for buying or leasing a new electric vehicle will end on September 30, as will the $4,000 credit for used electric vehicles. These tax credits have benefited electric vehicle sales in recent years. The U.S. Congress first approved the $7,500 electric vehicle tax credit in 2008 and phased it out after automakers produced 200,000 electric vehicles. In 2022, the incentive was expanded to leased vehicles and the cap on each manufacturer was removed. Dan Levy, an auto analyst at Barclays Bank, said that phasing out the tax credit in less than three months means that electric vehicle sales will jump sharply through "pre-purchase" and then fall sharply in the following months.On July 4, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of North Korea made a statement on July 3, local time. The statement said that the United States recently took the opportunity of the "Quadrilateral Security Dialogue" Foreign Ministers Meeting to once again carry out serious political provocations, deny North Koreas legitimate sovereignty, and reiterate "denuclearization". The United States hegemonic behavior of relying on a minority of xenophobic groups to interfere in the internal affairs of independent sovereign countries, incite camp confrontation, and cause instability in international relations is a major dangerous factor hindering regional and world peace and security. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of North Korea strongly condemns and opposes the United States brutal infringement on North Koreas dignity and rights, as well as its hostile consciousness towards North Korea, and expresses serious concern about the adverse consequences that this move will lead to.Barclays: We forecast that U.S. oil demand will grow by 130,000 barrels per day this year, 100,000 barrels per day higher than previous estimates.US President Trump: Iran wants dialogue.

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.
