ECB board member Nagel: Imposing tariffs on all countries is not a good idea.Hang Seng Index futures closed up 0.39% at 19,924 points in the night session, 145 points higher.On January 23, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink said that investors were too quick to conclude that high inflation was over, increasing the likelihood that bond yields will rise in the future as prices rise. "The biggest risk facing the world today is that the whole world believes that the peak of inflation has passed," Fink told Bloomberg on Wednesday while attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, saying that his views were at odds with the views expressed by market forces. "I really think we will face a situation of high inflation." When talking about artificial intelligence investment, Fink said that building data centers requires a lot of funds from the private sector. BlackRock is teaming up with Microsoft and others to raise a $30 billion fund, and Fink said that the private market needs to pay special attention to how data centers are powered. "In the short term, lets be clear that it will be powered primarily by natural gas, natural gas in the United States," Fink said, adding that electricity demand should trigger discussions about the future role of nuclear energy.On January 23, the European Stoxx 600 index hit a record high for the first time since September, as investors became increasingly confident that the United States might not implement the most severe tariff measures it had previously threatened. The index rose 0.9% to 530.55 points during the session, exceeding the previous intraday high of 528.68 points in September. However, the index later gave up most of its gains and closed at 528.04.

After the US sent a delegation to Taiwan over the weekend, despite House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's contentious visit to the disputed island, which enraged Beijing, investors sought protection in government bonds and the dollar in the face of rising US-China threats.

 

Rates are also heavily influenced by the likelihood that the Fed will raise interest rates by 50 basis points (bps) in September as a result of easing US inflation pressures, with all eyes on the FOMC minutes due out on Wednesday for new information on the direction the world's most potent central bank will take its policy.

 

Despite a decline in rates and a sluggish demand for riskier assets in early Asian trades, the US dollar is holding up well. The US dollar index is trading at 105.61, unchanged from its previous close of 105.88 on Friday.
