On March 16th, the Ministry of Natural Resources and the National Forestry and Grassland Administration jointly issued a notice proposing to further improve the guarantee of natural resource elements. Among them, the new logic for land supply set by the Ministry of Natural Resources has been misinterpreted by many as "no more land will be approved for real estate projects." Firstly, this misunderstanding stems from a lack of understanding of the technical term "newly added construction land." It specifically refers to land converted from agricultural land and unused land into construction land, a strictly controlled and scarce indicator. Given its limited availability, prioritizing it for livelihood projects and major industrial projects is reasonable. The land for real estate development that we usually talk about mostly comes from existing construction land, such as urban renewal, redevelopment of inefficient land, urban village renovation, and state-owned construction land already reserved by the government. Secondly, there is no need to worry about a land supply shortage. After previous preparations, local governments have sufficient reserves of state-owned construction land to fully meet normal development needs. The pace of land supply through bidding and auction will not change and is not directly related to the trends in the new and second-hand housing markets.Royal Bank of Canada raised its price target for Micron Technology (MU.O) from $425 to $525.March 16 - The US dollar broke through the key psychological level of 60 against the Philippine peso on Monday, hitting a new intraday record high.

During the Asian session, the EUR / USD pair broke below the consolidation around 1.0550 to the downside. It appears that the major currency pair has resumed its decline, and further losses are anticipated due to pessimistic market sentiment. The currency pair is expected to find support near 1.0530.

 

Futures on the S&P 500 have lost their dead cat bounce as the motif of risk aversion gains strength. The US Dollar Index (DXY) has already reached a three-month high above 105.60, and gains are anticipated due to a general improvement in the appeal of safe-haven assets. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note has surpassed 3.97 percent. Powell, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, believes that increasing interest rates is "appropriate and suitable" for controlling the nation's rising inflation. He has asserted that the current monetary policy is inadequately restrictive to bring inflation down to the desired levels.

 

The extraordinary increase in payrolls reported in January has prompted contemplation of a higher termination rate than previously anticipated. Prior to this, Fed Governor Christopher Waller stated that February's economic data was a one-time anomaly and that price pressures would resume their downward trend beginning the following month. Consequently, investors will gain greater insight following the release of the US Automatic Data Processing (ADP) Employment Change (Feb) data, which is anticipated to be higher at 200K compared to the previous release of 106K.

 

On the Eurozone front, investors are concentrating on German January Retail Sales data. Compared to the previously reported contraction of 5.3%, it is anticipated that the monthly data will indicate an expansion of 2.0%. As a consequence, inflationary pressures may intensify as a rebound in retail demand may boost the German Consumer Price Index (CPI).

 

Klaas Knot, a policymaker at the European Central Bank (ECB), stated on Tuesday that the ECB is likely to continue raising interest rates for "quite some time" following March. According to him, the current rate of interest rate hikes could continue through May if underlying inflation does not decrease significantly.
