Group 1: Inflation Overview - December inflation in the U.S. showed a moderate performance, confirming the downward trend in inflation despite concerns over November's data distortion due to government shutdown effects[4] - The overall CPI year-on-year growth remained stable at 2.7%, while the core CPI year-on-year growth was steady at 2.6%, both aligning with expectations[4] - The decline in energy prices, which fell from 4.2% in November to 2.3% in December, significantly contributed to the moderate inflation figures[5] Group 2: Price Dynamics - The prices of used cars, a key indicator, dropped from 3.6% in November to 1.6% in December, indicating a significant easing in core inflation pressures[5] - Food prices increased from 2.6% in November to 3.1% in December, driven by higher dining out costs and seasonal consumption effects[6] - Medical service prices rebounded to 3.5%, reflecting resilience in service consumption despite overall inflation moderation[6] Group 3: Future Inflation Outlook - The inflation trajectory for 2026 is expected to show moderate declines, influenced by tariff costs being passed to end prices, but countered by falling housing prices and energy prices due to oversupply[7] - The impact of tariffs is anticipated to peak in the first half of 2026, with inflation likely to rise initially before declining in the latter half of the year[7] Group 4: Federal Reserve Policy Implications - The moderate inflation data in December is unlikely to prompt the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates in January, as current policy rates are near neutral levels[8] - The labor market remains stable, with no significant deterioration, which does not support the case for further rate cuts[10] - Concerns regarding the independence of the Federal Reserve due to ongoing investigations may also deter premature rate cuts, as this could undermine market confidence[10]

Core Viewpoint - The Swiss Franc (CHF) is experiencing a stable performance against the Euro and slight fluctuations against the US Dollar, supported by the Swiss National Bank's (SNB) zero interest rate policy and its role as a safe-haven currency, despite pressures from export challenges and US policy constraints [1][2]. Group 1: Currency Performance - As of January 14, 2026, the CHF is trading in the range of 0.8750-0.8800 against the USD, influenced by the SNB's zero interest rate policy and safe-haven demand, while facing pressure from exports and US policy [1]. - The CHF is stable against the Euro, anchored in the 1.08-1.09 range, due to the SNB's foreign exchange interventions and zero interest rate policy [1]. - The CHF has appreciated nearly 2% year-to-date against the USD, although its appreciation potential is limited by US trade policies [1]. Group 2: Economic Outlook - The Swiss Economic Association forecasts a slowdown in GDP growth from 1.2% in 2025 to 1.0% in 2026, with declines in sales for technology and watchmaking sectors, and an increase in unemployment from 2.8% to 3.0% [2]. - The SNB's ability to operate is constrained by US policies, as Switzerland has been labeled a currency manipulator and is now subject to tariff considerations, creating political risks for the SNB's market interventions [2]. Group 3: Monetary Policy and Market Sentiment - The zero interest rate policy is a key stabilizing factor for the CHF, with the SNB maintaining this rate since June 2025 to prevent excessive appreciation and support core export industries [1]. - Market participants are closely monitoring SNB policies, US trade developments, and safe-haven sentiment in the short term, while focusing on export and real estate data in the long term [2]. - The average inflation rate for 2026 is projected at 0.4%, which is unlikely to drive policy adjustments [2].

Core Viewpoint - The Indonesian central bank is intervening in the foreign exchange market due to ongoing concerns about the country's fiscal health, which has led the Indonesian rupiah to approach historical lows [1] Group 1: Central Bank Actions - The central bank is actively taking measures in the market to ensure that the exchange rate fluctuates in line with fundamentals and healthy market mechanisms [1] - The central bank's executive director, Erwin Hutahepy, emphasized the commitment to optimizing market-oriented monetary policy tools to enhance the effectiveness of monetary policy transmission and maintain adequate liquidity [1] Group 2: Currency Performance - The Indonesian rupiah is currently only about 0.5% away from the historical low reached in April of the previous year [1] - Concerns regarding Indonesia's fiscal health have resurfaced, contributing to the pressure on the currency [1]

Core Viewpoint - The investigation into Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell by the Washington D.C. federal prosecutor's office is seen as a significant political maneuver that threatens the independence of the Federal Reserve, stemming from a renovation project that has escalated into a broader power conflict in U.S. politics [1][5][10]. Group 1: Investigation Details - The investigation was initiated to determine if there was any misuse of funds related to the renovation of the Federal Reserve's headquarters, which has not been updated since the 1930s [1]. - The initial budget for the renovation was approximately $2 billion, which has now ballooned to between $2.5 billion and $2.6 billion, resulting in a cost overrun of about $700 million [3]. - The investigation is being led by newly appointed federal prosecutor, Jeanne Pirro, a long-time ally of Trump, raising concerns about the political motivations behind the inquiry [5]. Group 2: Political Implications - The investigation is perceived as part of a broader strategy by the Trump administration to undermine the Federal Reserve's independence, with Trump having publicly criticized Powell for not lowering interest rates [9][10]. - There are fears that the investigation could lead to a systematic dismantling of the Federal Reserve's autonomy, as indicated by statements from former Fed chairs and current lawmakers [12][14]. - Potential candidates to replace Powell, such as Kevin Hassett, are viewed as more aligned with Trump's economic policies, which prioritize growth over inflation control [16]. Group 3: Responses and Reactions - Powell has publicly defended the integrity of the Federal Reserve and emphasized the importance of accountability within the rule of law, rejecting any notion that he would yield to political pressure [16]. - The investigation has sparked a significant backlash from both Republican and Democratic former officials, who argue that it represents an unprecedented attack on the Federal Reserve's independence [12].

The weighted index of coking coal was also weak, closing at 1193.9 yuan, a decrease of 30.3 from the previous day [2][3]. - For coke, the supply side shows continuous recovery in coke - making enterprise operations, and the total coke inventory is at a low level compared to the same period. The demand side shows an increase in blast furnace operations and daily hot metal production. Some coke - making enterprises in Inner Mongolia proposed a price increase of 50 yuan/ton. For coking coal, mine production capacity is recovering, Mongolian coal imports are relatively sufficient, and clean coal inventory is accumulating. However, coke - making enterprise profits are in greater deficit [4].

As of January 12, Thailand's cumulative sugar production was 2.1717 million tons, a decrease of 21.18% compared to the same period last year. The Thai Sugar Board expects the country's sugar production to reach 10.3 million tons in the 2025/26 season and may reduce to 10 million tons in the next year. The global sugar supply surplus in the 2025/26 season is expected to reach 4.7 million tons [4]. Rubber - Due to improved weather in Southeast Asian producing areas, increased raw material supply, and reduced spot quotes, Shanghai rubber fluctuated downward on January 13. In December 2025, the retail sales of the national passenger car market were 2.296 million vehicles, a year - on - year decrease of 13% and a month - on - month increase of 3%.

The US Department of Agriculture's January supply - demand report confirmed the loose supply - demand pattern of the US soybean market, lowered the US soybean export forecast, and raised the Brazilian soybean production forecast to 178 million tons. In the domestic market, on January 13, the main soybean meal contract M2505 closed at 2761 yuan/ton, a decrease of 1.04%.

Cotton - On the night of January 13, the main Zhengzhou cotton contract closed at 14745 yuan/ton. The cotton inventory increased by 642 lots compared to the previous trading day, and downstream spinning mills purchase as needed [7]. Iron Ore - On January 13, the main iron ore 2605 contract fluctuated and closed down, with a decline of 0.24% and a closing price of 819.5 yuan.

Steel - On January 13, rb2605 closed at 3158 yuan/ton, and hc2605 closed at 3303 yuan/ton. The rising cost of coking coal supports steel prices, but downstream procurement is becoming more cautious, and the short - term steel price increase may slow down and enter a volatile state [8]. Alumina - On January 13, ao2605 closed at 2780 yuan/ton. The domestic alumina production capacity remains high, the supply is in an oversupply situation, and the price is under pressure. The consumption side shows weak ore transactions and a general trading atmosphere [8]. Shanghai Aluminum - On January 13, al2603 closed at 24375 yuan/ton. The macro - environment is relatively positive for the non - ferrous market. The cancellation of VAT export tax rebates for photovoltaic products may stimulate short - term demand. The supply is normal, the inventory is accumulating, and the demand is shrinking [8][9].

Global Economic Outlook - The World Bank has raised its global economic growth forecast for 2026 to 2.6%, an increase of 0.2 percentage points. The U.S. is expected to grow by 2.2%, while the Eurozone and Japan are projected to slow to 0.9% and 0.8%, respectively [1][8] U.S. Economic Policy and Market Reactions - Former President Trump has called for the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates as the economy improves, denying any plans for another government shutdown and indicating upcoming policies aimed at reducing the cost of living [7][8] - Trump has accused Fed Chair Powell of overspending by billions, labeling him as "incompetent or corrupt," and has indicated plans to nominate a new Fed chair soon. This has drawn support for Powell from former Treasury Secretaries and central bank leaders, who criticized political interference in central bank independence [8] U.S. Fiscal Situation - The U.S. Treasury reported a record budget deficit of $145 billion for December 2025, the highest for that month historically. The deficit for the fiscal year 2026 so far stands at $602 billion, down from $711 billion in the same period last year [8] Labor Market and Inflation - The New York Fed President Williams stated that the current U.S. economic conditions are "quite favorable," with no signs of rapid deterioration in the labor market, and expects stabilization and gradual improvement this year.
