Quick Glance: US Congressional Leaders Propose Spending Bill to Cut UNRWA Funding
  • A new bill with support from Biden and bipartisan agreement aims to prevent a government shutdown and prohibit funding for the UN agency for Palestinian refugees.

  • The proposed spending bill from Congressional leaders in the US would avert a government shutdown but ban funding for the UNRWA.

  • The US has been UNRWA’s largest donor, and a ban would almost certainly lead to a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.

  • De-funding of UNRWA has been paused by some Western countries, led by the US, despite UNRWA denying allegations of having ties to Hamas.

Quick Glance: Swiss National Bank Surprises with Rate Cut
  • The Swiss National Bank cut its main interest rate by 25 basis points to 1.50%, becoming the first major central bank to ease tighter monetary policy aimed at tackling inflation.

  • The franc dropped following the decision, boosting the euro to its highest level against the Swiss currency since mid-July last year, with Swiss government bond yields also falling.

  • Experts like Karsten Junius and Alexander Koch highlighted the significance of the rate cut due to low inflation rates and the strong franc, with expectations for more rate cuts.

  • The decision was widely perceived as a surprise, leading to speculation about further rate cuts in June and September, as inflation forecasts were substantially revised downwards.
