On December 9th, the European Central Bank (ECB) urged Rome to reconsider a proposed amendment that would state that the Bank of Italys gold reserves belong to the Italian people. The ECB warned that this move could jeopardize its independence. In a document published on its website, the ECB reiterated its opposition to the proposal. Italy has already amended the amendment twice, with the latest draft explicitly stating that the measure would not supersede EU rules protecting central bank independence. Italy holds the worlds third-largest gold reserves, recorded on its central banks balance sheet. The law stipulates that the Bank of Italy must manage these gold reserves in accordance with EU rules, which prohibit the use of gold for government spending. Members of Italys ruling party have proposed including the amendment in the 2026 budget law. The initial version stated that the central banks gold belonged to the state, but this was later amended to belong to the Italian people.The Trump administration wants airlines and airports to offer healthier food.On December 9th, Paramount Pictures launched a hostile takeover bid for Warner Bros. and released a list of investors supporting the offer.

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."
