Fitch: The financial position of gas operators in Asia Pacific remains strong.On September 11th, the State Council Information Office held a press conference this morning on the theme of "High-Quality Completion of the 14th Five-Year Plan," highlighting the achievements of health care during the 14th Five-Year Plan period. According to the report, from 2020 to 2024, the number of primary healthcare institutions will increase from 970,000 to 1.04 million, the number of healthcare personnel will increase from 4.34 million to 5.26 million, and the number of medical consultations will increase from 4.1 billion to 5.3 billion.On September 11th, UBS published a report stating that Pop Mart (09992.HK)s share price has fallen approximately 19% from its recent high. The bank attributes this primarily to three factors: profit-taking following its inclusion in the Hang Seng Index, weakening secondary market prices for some products, and a decline in global Google search trends. Its worth noting that the bank has observed similar trends before, but these developments havent altered its positive outlook on Pop Marts fundamentals. UBS believes that Pop Marts current share price correction is creating buying opportunities ahead of anticipated short-term catalysts, including the launch of new Halloween products and its 15th anniversary collection, as well as the crucial Christmas sales season. The bank reiterated its Buy rating on the stock with a target price of HK$432.On September 11th, South Korean President Lee Jae-myung stated that he saw no need to persist with a previously proposed plan to expand the scope of capital gains tax. At a press conference on Thursday, Lee mentioned that the formal proposal, presented at the end of July, would have lowered the capital gains tax threshold from 5 billion won (approximately $720,000) to 1 billion won, raising questions about the governments commitment to reviving the stock market. "Some seem to see this as a litmus test of whether we are truly committed to policies to revive the stock market," Lee said. "If thats the case, I dont think its necessary to persist to the end. I will submit this issue to the National Assembly for review." The original proposal had caused a sharp drop in South Korean stocks and faced strong opposition from retail investors. Following Lees remarks, the Kospi index rose as much as 0.9% during intraday trading on Thursday before retreating. The index had reached a record closing high the previous day, partly due to market expectations that the government would abandon the tax increase proposal.South Korean President Lee Jae-myung: A trade agreement with the United States will be signed when there are reasonable results.

Before UK Employment And Japan GDP Data, GBP/JPY Recovers Above 158.50

In the early hours of Tokyo, GBP/JPY surpassed 158.50. After Friday's significant swings, it is anticipated that the cross's volatility will decrease. As the likelihood of scholar Kazuo Ueda being appointed the next Governor of the Bank of Japan (BoJ) grew, the Japanese Yen witnessed extreme volatility.

 

According to the Nikkei Asian Review, the Japanese Cabinet is anticipated to appoint Kazuo Ueda as the next Governor of the Bank of Japan (BoJ) when Haruhiko Kuroda steps down in April. According to sources, the Japanese government would appoint former FSA Chief Himino and BoJ Executive Director Shinichi Uchida as Deputy BoJ Governor.

 

The announcement prompted the Japanese Yen to climb perpendicularly, but Kazuo Ueda's assertion that the current monetary policy was appropriate halted the increase. Prime Minister Fumio Kishida of Japan reaffirmed that the administration will consider ending the decade-long expansionary approach under the new leadership of the Bank of Japan. Kazuo Ueda's divergent position on monetary policy diminished the likelihood of a withdrawal from accommodative monetary policy.

 

Investors are awaiting the Japan GDP (Q4) report on Tuesday. The growth of economic data is 2% annually and 0.5% quarterly.

 

British investors await employment data to determine the direction of the Pound. The three-month unemployment rate stays unchanged at 3.7%. Without incentives, average earnings are expected to increase by 6.5%. The Bank of England (BoE), which is battling inflation, may confront additional obstacles.

 

If we achieve our goal of halving inflation this year, we will have some of the best growth prospects in Europe, according to the British minister of finance, Jeremy Hunt.
