Credit Suisse Hit Hard by Bermuda Court Case

A pioneering institution in the realm of private banking and asset management, Credit Suisse forecasted that the looming Bermuda court case will cost the firm around $600 million, as noted by Credit Suisse in its first-quarter financial report released on Thursday.

The Switzerland-based investment bank and financial services firm has been under the radar, with a Bermuda court in March ruling that former Prime Minister of Georgia and his family, Bidzina Ivanishvili, are set to receive an “excess of $500 million” from Credit Suisse’s local life insurance establishment.

MACROECONOMIC DATA ANALYSIS

According to Koichi Hagiuda, Japan’s Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, the Asian nation will face “difficulty” to promptly follow suit in cutting off Russia’s oil imports. On Wednesday, the European Union was the latest to recommend strict sanctions against Russia, which includes an embargo on crude oil.

Hagiuda told reporters, that “Given Japan has its limit on resources, we would face some difficulty to keep in step immediately” with other nations.

As stated by Mexico’s Finance Minister Rogelio Ramirez de la O on Wednesday, the South American nation will raise the production of staple foods, such as beans, corn and rice, in efforts to tame the record-high consumer price inflation. President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, has also noted the Mexico does not plan to apply price controls in its latest initiative.

Mexico’s annual inflation has hit a 20-year high 7.72% inflation rate in the first half of April, and this could ultimately prompt the central bank to hike interest rates.

CURRENCIES

The U.S. dollar remains solid on Thursday’s early hours, after falling to week-long lows on Wednesday after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell diminished the possibility of a 75 basis point hike on interest rates. The dollar index, which compares the greenback to a basket of six other currencies, edged 0.23% higher to 102.823.

GOLD

Gold prices trade higher on Thursday’s early trading session, amid the U.S. Federal Reserve hiked interest rates in its latest initiative to combat high inflation.

OIL
