Japanese Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama: The Middle East conflict and oil price fluctuations are also reasons for the weakening of the yen.On June 5th, Futures News reported that, according to foreign media, Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) corn futures closed modestly lower on Thursday, with the benchmark contract down 1.8%, hitting its lowest level since late January. This was mainly due to favorable weather conditions in the Midwest, a decline in international crude oil futures, and weak corn export sales. Traders said the July contract fell to its lowest level in nearly five months, while the December contract fell to its lowest level in four and a half months. In recent weeks, the grain market has become less sensitive to energy price fluctuations as weather conditions have become the focus of market attention. The Buenos Aires Grain Exchange reported that Argentinas corn harvest is 40.6% complete, up 6% from a week ago. The corn production forecast remains unchanged at 64 million tons.On June 5th, according to foreign media reports, international oil prices fell 3% on Thursday, with market focus shifting from supply disruption risks to the possibility of easing tensions in the Middle East. Following the ceasefire agreement announced by Israel and Lebanon, investors began betting that the US and Iran might further advance peace talks, ultimately leading to the restoration of normal navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, thereby alleviating global energy supply tensions. Market participants believe that the conditional ceasefire agreement reached between the Israeli and Lebanese governments on Wednesday is an important signal for promoting US-Iran peace talks. Iran had previously stated that any agreement with the US would be contingent on Israel ceasing its military operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon. With the agreement between Israel and Lebanon, market expectations for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz have rapidly increased. Although shipping through the strait remains nearly stalled, some vessels have begun redeploying towards the Persian Gulf, seen as a sign of market expectations for improved conditions. Despite the short-term oil price correction, some institutions remain cautiously optimistic. UBS believes that as long as shipping through the Strait of Hormuz remains restricted, the global oil supply shortage will be difficult to completely alleviate, and the upside risk for oil prices remains.1.

As Australian monthly inflation declines to 6.8%, the AUD/JPY exchange rate approaches 87.80

After the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported a further decline in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the previous month, the AUD/JPY pair dropped significantly to near 87.80. (Feb). The economic data came in at 6.9%, which was lower than both the consensus estimate of 7.1% and the previous release of 7.4%.

 

Australian Retail Sales increased by 0.2% on Tuesday, which was below the consensus estimate of 0.4% and the previous release of 1.9%. A weaker-than-expected retail demand suggests that households are bearing the burden of higher inflation and are having difficulty compensating for the impact of inflated products with their present purchasing power.

 

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) would be encouraged to maintain monetary policy at its April meeting as a result of the synergistic effect of declining Retail Sales and the Consumer Price Index. In March, RBA Governor Philip Lowe increased the Official Cash Rate (OCR) to 3.60 percent. Investors should be aware of this fact.

 

Every subsequent Friday, the China Bureau of Statistics will disseminate Manufacturing and Non-Manufacturing PMI data. Following the abolition of pandemic controls, the Chinese economy is promoting development through monetary measures, so market participants anticipate a respectable performance. Australia is China's largest trading partner, and China's accelerating economic activity will also benefit the Australian Dollar.

 

As the target for sustainable inflation has not yet been attained, the former governor of the Bank of Japan, Haruhiko Kuroda, remained extremely pessimistic about future monetary policy regarding the Japanese Yen. "It is premature to discuss a withdrawal from easy monetary policy," he continued. And "More time is required to consistently and sustainably reach the price target."
