On August 28th, during Meituans Q2 earnings call, CEO Wang Xing shared Meituans internationalization progress: "Keeta began trial operations in the Saudi market in September 2024, and achieved profitability in July of this year, taking only 22 months."

Meanwhile, he remains confident in the long-term potential of the Brazilian market.On August 28th, Allianz Chief Advisor El-Erian stated, "Federal Reserve Chairman Warsh is about to deliver his first Jackson Hole keynote address. At this crucial moment, he faces a delicate challenge: how to respond to the highly diverse expectations of the market and various sectors. On one hand, some hope he will continue the tradition of previous Fed chairs, providing forward-looking guidance while elaborating on the current policy response mechanism—how the Fed will make policy decisions in response to economic data and changing circumstances. On the other hand, others hope he will return to the original long-term strategic positioning of this unique meeting. This means focusing more on the increasing and more complex domestic economic and policy issues in the context of profound structural changes driven by technological innovation and geoeconomics. Balancing these two expectations is no easy task. This balance is not only difficult to maintain but also almost certain to satisfy everyone. Meanwhile, policy factors outside the Fed further increase the difficulty of decision-making. However, Warshs speech will undoubtedly provide an important window for the outside world to gain a deeper understanding of the new Fed chairs policy philosophy and leadership style. Personally, I hope his speech will focus more on long-term structural issues, especially given the significant disagreements within the FOMC."On August 28th, the Securities Association of China and the Asset Management Association of China, based on their previous practical experience and research findings, jointly drafted the "Securities Company Trading Information System Access Management Standards (Trial Implementation)".

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.
