U.S. Special Envoy for Syria: Met with Jordanian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora Affairs Ayman Safadi. Minister Safadi and I discussed the latest developments in the Syrian Arab Republic in the context of our ongoing cooperation.On January 10th, in response to US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnicks comments that the failure to reach a trade agreement with India was due to Indian Prime Minister Modi not calling US President Trump, India stated on the 9th that Lutnicks statement was "inaccurate." Earlier on the 9th, in an interview with the US podcast "The Roundup," Lutnick blamed the stalled US-India trade agreement negotiations on Indian Prime Minister Modi, saying, "Everything was ready, and I (to the Indian side) said you have to get Modi to call the president (Trump). They were uncomfortable doing that. So, Modi didnt call."January 10th - On January 9th, a provincial financial system work conference was held in Jinan, Shandong Province. The conference emphasized the need for effective and orderly risk prevention, steady progress in the reform of small and medium-sized financial institutions, prevention and crackdown on illegal financial activities, and coordinated resolution of various intertwined risks. It stressed the importance of consolidating and strengthening financial supervision, strictly controlling market access, rigorously enforcing regulations, and holding those responsible accountable. The conference also called for all-out efforts to promote high-quality development, expand and improve the financial sector, fully utilize the moderately loose monetary policy, implement the "Ten-Hundred-Thousand" plan for cultivating listed companies, and strengthen financial support for key areas such as expanding domestic demand, technological innovation, and small and micro enterprises.U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio: The United States supports the courageous Iranian people.On January 10th, a research report from Founder Securities stated that the December non-farm payroll data was mixed, with the US job market generally showing a mild downward trend, but the unemployment rate showed marginal improvement, giving the Federal Reserve more reason to wait and see in January. Combined with the Supreme Courts potential declaration that the IEEPA tariffs are unconstitutional, this may be a short-term positive for US stocks and the US dollar, but a negative for US Treasuries. Data on new jobs, job openings, and hourly wage growth indicate that the US job market remained relatively weak in December, but the marginal decline in the unemployment rate was one of the few bright spots. Looking at interest rate futures and US Treasuries, the market priced in a no-rate-cut by the Fed in January, with a possible rate cut as early as June. Meanwhile, the Supreme Courts potential declaration that the IEEPA tariffs are unconstitutional means that economic expectations may improve marginally, inflationary pressures may weaken, but the fiscal deficit may worsen. With the Fed in no hurry to cut rates and tariffs easing, US Treasuries face many unfavorable factors in the short term and are likely to remain at high levels. US stocks will benefit from the AI boom and reduced tariff disruptions, especially in sectors affected by tariffs such as consumer staples and industry, which are more resilient.

The USD/CHF pair has been steadily climbing since the start of the Tokyo session, and it is currently trading near a six-week high of 0.9860. After a month of uninterrupted control by bulls, the asset is now moving sideways. The major is trading between 0.9783 and 0.9859; a rise is expected.

 

Since the favorable US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report was released on Friday, the asset's value has risen considerably. After the US economy added 315k jobs in August, beating predictions of 300k, the Federal Reserve (Fed) is more likely to raise interest rates by 75 bps for a third consecutive time. The Federal Reserve's policymakers must face the unsettling reality of a sluggish response to rising inflation. However, the Federal Reserve's worries are fading as the US economy posts a series of strong job growth.

 

Meanwhile, despite an increase in the Unemployment Rate, the value of the US dollar index (DXY) reached 110.03, a new 20-year high. The latest unemployment rate report came in at 3.7%, which is higher than both forecasts and the preceding report (3.5%). For the time being, investors will be focusing on the US ISM Services PMI data that will be released on Tuesday. Forecasts indicate a decline in economic indicators, from 56.7 to 54.9. As Monday is the United States' Labor Day, the markets will be closed.

 

As a result, the Swiss franc has fallen in value due to disappointing data on Real Retail Sales. The 2.6% GDP reading was lower than the 3.3% predicted by economists, but it was higher than the 0.7% reading reported in the prior update. Meanwhile, the annual rate of increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) has risen to 3.5%, which is higher than both market forecasts and the prior reading of 3.4%.
