A one-off, non-cash impairment charge of DKK 6.3 billion was incurred in the second quarter of 2026 due to matters related to intangible asset pipeline assets.On August 5th, Nick Timiraos, a vocal advocate for the Federal Reserve, wrote that Treasury Secretary Bessants policy response function has become less dovish. His comments this year suggested the Fed should maintain its current interest rates. Earlier this year, Bessant cited models suggesting the Feds interest rate could be more than 25 to 100 basis points above the neutral rate. Today (August 4th), he raised two points. First, he defended Warshs decision last week not to elaborate on any policy response function: "I think every meeting should be open, and market participants should make their own judgments… I think Warsh wanted to preserve options to achieve the best outcome." Second, he did propose a policy response function that could be considered dovish, arguing that recent shocks should be ignored: "What will be the impact of rising short-term interest rates? Well see." He raised this question but then responded by noting that underlying inflation was "very modest… very stable." "Core inflation, after removing the energy-dependent volatility component, has been very stable. I think this will continue."

USD/CHF Steady at 1.0020 as DXY Pauses, Powell and US Retail Sales Take Center Stage

The USD/CHF pair is bouncing within a small range between 1.0020 and 1.0030 in early Tokyo, as the US dollar index (DXY) is not gaining much traction due to Monday's light economic calendar. Although broad-based fundamentals continue to favor the dollar bulls, the Federal Reserve (Fed) is projected to raise interest rates by another significant number in June in an effort to limit the inflation issue.

 

Last week, Fed's Powell's interview with the national radio show Marketplace revealed the ongoing conversations among Fed policymakers regarding anticipated rate hikes in monetary policies. Fed Powell indicated that the Fed could declare two additional rate hikes in the next two consecutive monetary policy sessions in order to tame the soaring inflation.

 

In the meantime, the US dollar index (DXY) is poised between 104.46 and 104.60 after reaching a new 19-year high of 105.00 on Friday. The DXY appreciates the broader gains but requires further triggers to maintain strong. In the future, two significant events on Tuesday will keep investors occupied. First will be Fed Chairman Powell's speech, which will likely influence monetary policy action in June. The second significant event is the monthly US Retail Sales report, which is anticipated to increase by 0.7% from the previous reading of 0.5%.

 

In terms of the Swiss franc, Friday's Industrial Production data will be the focal point. The catalyst reached 7.3% the previous time. A greater-than-anticipated number will strengthen the Swiss franc against the U.S. dollar.
