Polish Armed Forces: Poland suspended fighter jet flights due to Russias attack on Ukraine; no airspace violations were recorded.The China Earthquake Networks Center officially reported that a magnitude 2.8 earthquake occurred at 10:38 on July 2 in Kangding City, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province (29.91 degrees north latitude, 101.95 degrees east longitude), with a focal depth of 7 kilometers.On July 2nd, at a regular press conference held by the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, a reporter asked: Regarding the DPP authorities rejection of applications from tourism operators in Shanghai and Fujian to conduct field research trips to Taiwan, tourism groups and operators on the island have voiced their opposition, urging the DPP authorities to reduce political manipulation and prioritize tourism, thus leaving room for easing tensions in cross-strait relations. Spokesperson Zhu Fenglian stated that promoting the resumption of tourism to Taiwan for residents of Shanghai and Fujian is a positive measure that conforms to the mainstream public opinion in Taiwan and promotes the peaceful development of cross-strait relations. The industrys call for less political manipulation and prioritizing tourism fully reflects the tourism industrys dissatisfaction and opposition to the DPP authorities deliberate politicization of cross-strait tourism, disregard for the survival difficulties of tourism operators on the island, and the livelihood demands of ordinary people. We have always adhered to the concept of "both sides of the strait are one family" in promoting the resumption of mainland residents tourism to Taiwan and have continued to show goodwill. If the DPP authorities truly care about the livelihoods of the industry, they should lift the restrictions on mainland residents tourism to Taiwan as soon as possible.July 2nd - Three mandatory national standards for the photovoltaic (PV) industry were officially approved and released today. These standards establish rigid energy consumption and efficiency constraints across the entire PV industry chain, from silicon materials and wafers to PV modules and inverters. By standardizing these standards, the green management system of the PV industry chain is improved, providing institutional support for the high-quality development of the new energy industry. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, in conjunction with the National Development and Reform Commission and the State Administration for Market Regulation, released three mandatory national standards for PV energy consumption and efficiency: "Energy Consumption Limits per Unit Product of Monocrystalline Silicon," "Energy Efficiency Limits and Energy Efficiency Grades for Crystalline Silicon PV Modules and Inverters," and "Energy Consumption Limits per Unit Product of Polycrystalline Silicon and Germanium." These standards cover key links in the PV industry chain, including polycrystalline silicon, wafers, modules, and inverters. They set energy consumption and efficiency indicators for relevant products at different levels, strictly controlling high-energy-consuming and inefficient production capacity at each stage. For modules, the standards innovatively incorporate the coupling environment stress attenuation rate evaluation index. Next, relevant industry organizations will accelerate the dissemination, interpretation, and implementation of these standards to solidify my countrys global competitiveness in the PV industry and support the green and low-carbon transformation of energy and the achievement of "dual-carbon" goals.SK Hynix announced on Thursday that it plans to invest 80 trillion won (approximately US$51.46 billion) to build a new NAND flash memory chip factory, expected to begin operations in 2029, to address the memory chip shortage driven by the AI boom.

During the Tokyo session, the USD/CHF pair is oscillating near the round-level barrier of 0.9400 as investors await the release of the United States' five-year consumer inflation forecasts for more direction. The Swiss franc is attempting to surpass the immediate resistance level of 0.9410, but the risk-on mentality stops the US Dollar from advancing further.

 

In the framework of the risk appetite theme, the US Dollar Index (DXY) is hitting resistance close to the significant level of 105.20. In the meantime, 10-year US Treasury yields have attempted to recover after falling to approximately 3.40 percent on Wednesday. The yield on long-term US Treasury bonds has rebounded to approximately 3.45%.

 

The growing unpredictability around the Federal Reserve's (Fed) policy outlook has caused market participants to feel anxious. As a result of favorable U.S. economic data, investors anticipate future rate hikes from the Federal Reserve to combat rising inflationary pressures. Moreover, it will compel a recession, as businesses will lower or maintain their current level of economic activity in response to rising interest liabilities.

 

At a Goldman Sachs financial conference, Bank of America (BoA) CEO Brian Moynihan informed investors that the United States economy will see "moderate contraction" in the first quarter of 2023.

 

Friday's release of US Consumer Inflation Expectations for the Next Five Years will continue to be closely monitored by investors.

 

Regarding the Swiss franc, investors are shifting their focus to the Swiss National Bank's (SNB) interest rate announcement scheduled for next week. As inflationary pressures are moderately over the target rate, it is predicted that SNB Chairman Thomas J. Jordan would continue to loosen monetary policy. This week, the Swiss Unemployment Rate fell to 2.1%, which is lower than the previous data of 2.0% and the consensus estimate of 2.2%.
