The Swiss National Bank (SNB) warns that economic growth may fall short of expectations, while inflation may rise higher. Currently, inflation is unlikely to rise rapidly above 2% or fall into negative territory. Uncertainty remains high, and current labor market signals are weak. The risk of a significant appreciation of the Swiss franc remains due to geopolitical uncertainties. Employment growth is currently moderate and below the long-term average. Surveys indicate that wage growth expectations for 2027 are moderate.

15:36:13

The Swiss National Bank (SNB) reports that medium-term inflationary pressures are virtually unchanged from the March monetary policy assessment. Assuming the SNB policy rate remains unchanged, inflation should rise further in the coming quarters, but is expected to remain within a price stability range throughout the forecast period. GDP growth is projected at around 1% in 2026 and around 1.5% in 2027, with inflation potentially increasing in the near term due to rising energy prices. The situation in the energy market could worsen if passage through the Strait of Hormuz is prolonged.

15:36:12

The Swiss National Bank (SNB) states that the main risks to the economic and inflation outlook stem from global economic developments. A renewed escalation of tensions in the Middle East could significantly weaken economic activity and increase upward pressure on the Swiss franc. While artificial intelligence has gained some influence, it has not yet brought about significant and widespread structural changes. Businesses have increased their short-term inflation expectations. Businesses anticipate substantial revenue growth in the coming quarters. A stronger-than-expected second-round effect is also listed as a risk factor for inflation.

15:34:11

The Swiss National Bank (SNB) reported that businesses achieved solid turnover growth in the second quarter, remaining confident despite perceived high uncertainty. Weakening global economic momentum may dampen Swiss growth in the coming quarters. In the medium term, an improvement in the global economy could provide more robust growth momentum for Switzerland. Inflation may rise in the short term due to rising energy prices, but will remain consistent with price stability throughout the period. Medium-term inflation expectations have risen only slightly.

[Russia's 2026 budget deficit may exceed the plan by more than $12.8 billion, with increased spending exacerbating fiscal pressure] (1) According to data from the government budget portal, the Russian Federation's spending in 2026 is expected to rise to 45.11 trillion rubles (higher than the 44.07 trillion rubles stipulated in the budget law), with a deficit of 4.83 trillion rubles, exceeding the official plan of 3.79 trillion rubles by more than 1 trillion rubles (approximately $12.85 billion). (2) The reasons for the increased spending have not been clearly stated, but it may be related to the rise in military spending related to the war in Ukraine; the Central Bank of Russia has repeatedly warned that the widening budget deficit poses a major inflation risk, which may affect the interest rate decision at next week's policy meeting. (3) The budget deficit in the first half of this year has reached 5.73 trillion rubles (2.5% of GDP), 1.7 times that of the same period last year. Finance Minister Siluanov said the deficit will only increase "slightly" and promised not to significantly expand domestic borrowing, but the budget gap in the next two years will still be higher than planned. The goal of achieving zero basic deficit has been postponed to 2029 (the deficit in 2025 will be nearly five times the target, at 2.6% of GDP).

[Middle East Conflict Fuels Inflation Fears, Gold Prices Fall] 1. Gold prices edged lower in Asian trading on Thursday, with spot gold down 0.88% to $4,024.5 per ounce. The escalating tensions in the Middle East reignited market concerns about inflation and interest rate prospects, waning optimism following cooling US inflation data. 2. Analysts pointed out that June's inflation data failed to reflect the impact of the latest escalation in the US-Iran conflict—the interim peace agreement reached last month has effectively collapsed, adding uncertainty to future price movements. 3. Oil prices have risen more than 11% so far this week, reigniting market concerns about higher and longer-lasting inflation and interest rates. While gold is traditionally seen as an inflation hedge, its appeal as a non-interest-bearing asset is often diminished in a high-interest-rate environment. 4. The CME Group's FedWatch tool shows that the market expects a 73% probability of a Fed rate hike in December, up from about 70% last week, although lower than Monday's 90%. 5. The market is closely watching speeches later today from Dallas Fed President Logan and Fed Vice Chairman Jefferson for further clues about the path of monetary policy. Meanwhile, further escalation of the situation in the Middle East remains a significant variable for short-term gold price movements. Additionally, today's trading session will also see the release of US initial jobless claims and the US June retail sales figures.

[Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences Achieves New Progress in Mid-Infrared Continuous-Range Laser Spectral Beam Combining] A research team led by Shao Jianda and Jin Yunxia from the Department of High-Power Laser Components Technology and Engineering at the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has made new progress in mid-infrared high-power continuous-range laser spectral beam combining, with related research results published in Optics Letters. The research team proposed a jigsaw-grating spectral beam combining architecture, which achieves efficient beam combining of multiple mid-infrared lasers through distributed splicing of multiple small-aperture sub-gratings within an equivalent large-aperture grating space. This scheme avoids dependence on ultra-large-aperture monolithic gratings, effectively reduces the difficulty of grating manufacturing, and improves the scalability of multi-channel beam combining systems. This research provides a new technical path for expanding mid-infrared multi-channel spectral beam combining systems from tens of watts to hundreds of watts, and also provides a reference for the construction of multi-band high-power laser platforms from visible light to terahertz.

[Hormuz Strait Traffic Drops Sharply, US Crude Oil May Rise to $87, Market Focuses on New Risks in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait] 1. On Wednesday, traffic in the Strait of Hormuz dropped from 13 vessels the previous day to 7, marking the first day of traffic since the US reimposed a maritime blockade on Iran. Shipping industry sources indicated that shipowners are cautiously assessing security risks, further exacerbating market concerns about oil supply disruptions. 2. Hiroyuki Kikukawa, chief investment strategist at Nissan Securities, stated, "Although neighboring countries continue to mediate, and the market generally believes that a full-scale war is unlikely, WTI oil prices could still rise to $85 to $87 depending on the development of the conflict." Both Brent and WTI crude oil have risen for four consecutive trading days recently. 3. Analysts point out that Iran has signaled its potential use of its Houthi allies in Yemen to blockade the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the gateway to the Red Sea. This would be a new front in the war against the US, simultaneously putting two of the world's most important energy arteries—the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait—at risk. If the conflict continues to escalate, oil prices may face even greater upward pressure.

[Cooling Rate Hike Expectations Weigh on the Dollar, Australian and New Zealand Dollars Hover Near Multi-Week Highs] 1. During Thursday's Asian trading session, the Australian and New Zealand dollars consolidated near multi-week highs. Cooling expectations for a near-term US rate hike and a generally weaker dollar provided some support for risk currencies. 2. The market has largely ruled out a Fed rate hike this month, but remains confident that New Zealand's interest rates will rise at least twice more this year, and Australia's interest rates are also highly likely to rise once more this year. 3. The Australian dollar weakened slightly against the US dollar to US$0.6998, a drop of about 0.1%, after touching a three-week high of US$0.7021 overnight. The next resistance level is at US$0.7071, with support levels at US$0.6913 and US$0.6867 respectively. The Australian dollar rose to a six-week high of 113.67 against the Japanese yen, gaining 1.0% this week, and is currently trading around 113.47. 4. Pepperstone's research director pointed out that a weaker US dollar coupled with a market reassessment of the Federal Reserve's policy path boosted cyclical growth themes. Robust performance in the commodities market also provided support for the Australian dollar to rebound to around 0.70 against the US dollar. 5. The New Zealand dollar rose slightly to US$0.5855, an increase of approximately 0.15%, after reaching a one-month high of US$0.5863 overnight. Resistance is at US$0.5865, with a major target of US$0.5993 and support at US$0.5774. The market still expects a roughly 70% probability of a rate hike by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand in September and has fully priced in a year-end rate increase to 3.0%.

(3) Global funds have begun to net buy Indian stocks after a record sell-off; HSBC also raised its year-end target price for the Sensex index from 80,500 points to 84,000 points, implying an upside of about 8.8% from Wednesday's closing price.

(2) Despite the US launching multiple strikes against Iran again on Wednesday and Trump saying that airstrikes would be intensified in the coming weeks, Esper believes that even if large-scale bombing resumes and continues, it will be difficult to bring about substantial change. (3) Esper pointed out that there are only two ways to pressure Iran—a full-scale military offensive or economic containment; economic blockade requires long-term resolve, international cooperation, and sustained policy implementation, and in the short term, the US will pay the price of rising domestic gasoline prices.
