The EU will hold an emergency meeting on the 23rd to reassess the trade agreement reached between the EU and the US in 2025.

China has consistently opposed all forms of unilateral tariff increases and has repeatedly emphasized that there are no winners in a trade war, and protectionism leads nowhere. The U.S.s unilateral measures, such as reciprocal tariffs and fentanyl tariffs, violate both international trade rules and U.S. domestic law, and are not in the interests of any party. Facts have repeatedly proven that cooperation between China and the U.S. benefits both sides, while confrontation harms both. China urges the U.S. to cancel its unilateral tariffs on its trading partners. We have also noted that the U.S. is preparing alternative measures, such as trade investigations, in an attempt to maintain tariffs on its trading partners. China will closely monitor this and firmly safeguard its interests.Nasdaq futures extended their losses to 1%, S&P 500 futures are currently down 0.75%, and Dow futures are down 0.6%.Goldman Sachs: Potential easing of sanctions on Iran/Russia will accelerate the increase in crude oil inventories and release more supply in the long term, with crude oil prices expected to have a downside of 5% to 8% in the fourth quarter of 2026.Tencent Wealth Managements current account + 7-day annualized yield ranges from a maximum of 1.1850% to a minimum of 0.8410%.

As Japan Prepares for BOJ Amamiya to Handle Monetary Policy, the EUR/JPY Rebounds from 142.00

After falling to approximately 142.00 during the Asian session, the EUR/JPY pair has made a robust recovery. According to a Nikkei article published by Bloomberg, the Japanese government is aiming to recruit Bank of Japan (BoJ) Deputy Governor Masayoshi Amamiya to replace Haruhiko Kuroda as the head of the central bank.

 

In February, the nominees for Kuroda's replacement will be finalized, and discussions for a change from the ultra-loose monetary policy of the past decade will intensify.

 

The BoJ has already widened the yield curve to boost flexibility. Deputy Governor of the Bank of Japan Masazumi Wakatabe noted last week, "BoJ's December decision to broaden band was a necessary step to make YCC more sustainable, but the move alone may have undermined the effect of the stimulus."

 

For renewed impetus in the Eurozone, investors anticipate the release of Retail Sales data. The economic statistics is expected to drop by 2.7% annually, compared to the prior annual contraction of 2.8%. It is projected that the monthly data will decrease by 2.5% compared to the 0.8% growth reported earlier.

 

The Eurozone economy has suffered a decrease in consumer spending for five consecutive months, which will satisfy the European Central Bank (ECB) as it reduces its forecasts for the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

 

Pierre Wunsch, a member of the ECB Governing Council, told Reuters on Friday that the ECB will not reduce its benchmark interest rate from 50 basis points (bps) in March to zero in May. May might see a 25 or 50 basis point increase, according to Wunsch.
