On July 29, according to Irans Fars News Agency, citing Israels Channel 12, Israeli and UAE officials recently held several secret meetings in an unnamed third country to discuss coordinating their positions on Iran and taking joint action in the international arena. The report stated that during the talks, the UAE strongly opposed the US-Iran memorandum of understanding, arguing that while the agreement might buy Iran time to improve its economic situation, it offered no substantial concessions. The two sides also discussed coordinating measures against Iran within international organizations, but agreed that any action would require prior consultation with the Trump administration. The report cited Western diplomatic sources as saying that the UAEs stance on Iran is tougher than some Gulf states, and that its ability to export energy through alternative routes strengthens its shared interests with Israel in dealing with the Iranian issue.On July 29th, according to The Information, Google (GOOG.O) disclosed last week that it has agreed to assume up to $44 billion in third-party data center lease payments in the event of tenant defaults. This figure is an increase from $6.5 billion at the end of September, reflecting Googles efforts to provide its AI chip alternatives to Nvidia to companies like Anthropic. It is understood that Google has assumed these commitments, known as "backup guarantees," to scale its TPU sales. Two sources revealed that Google assumed these commitments based on the consideration that the revenue generated from TPU sales would exceed the financial obligations arising from guaranteeing data center leases to accommodate these chips. One source stated that company executives were confident this financial calculation was favorable to Alphabet. The report states that Alphabet has already provided lease guarantees for approximately 2.4 gigawatts of capacity across about ten projects. These projects are currently incomplete, meaning Alphabets guarantees have not yet taken effect.As of the 2:30 closing bell, the main Shanghai gold futures contract fell 0.73% to 882 yuan/gram, the main Shanghai silver futures contract fell 1.43% to 14,016 yuan/kilogram, and the main SC crude oil futures contract fell 2.48% to 527 yuan/barrel.As of the 2:30 closing bell, the main Shanghai gold futures contract fell 0.73%, the main Shanghai silver futures contract fell 1.43%, and the main SC crude oil futures contract fell 2.48%.Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu: Our goal is the same as Trumps: to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

In the early Asian session, the AUD/JPY currency pair is bouncing violently in a narrow range below the resistance level of 90.00. Before the Bank of Japan introduces its first monetary policy of CY2023, the risk barometer indicates a sideways auction (BoJ). The AUD/JPY exchange rate reflects the consolidation of the AUD/USD, indicating an uncertain risk profile.

 

Investors anticipate that the Bank of Japan (BoJ) will not alter its policy stance on Friday, as doing so would increase financial market risk and hinder efforts to boost inflation. Previously, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) announced that the central bank will review the negative side effects of the decade-long ultra-loose monetary policy, generating the impression that the central bank is eager to abandon the easy policy.

 

The experts at Standard Charted expect the Bank of Japan to hold both the policy balance rate and the 10-year yield goal at their present levels of -0.1% and 0%, respectively. The recent decision to expand the 10-year JGB band to +/-50 bps (from +/-25 bps) will be evaluated by policymakers at the December meeting.

 

The replacement of current Governor of the Bank of Japan Haruhiko Kuroda will be widely followed. The next BoJ governor nominee is anticipated to be presented to the Japanese parliament on February 10, Reuters reported on Tuesday. Amamiya, Nakaso, and Yamaguchi are regarded as leading C.banking candidates.

 

Thursday is the expected publication date for Australian employment statistics, which investors are monitoring. The Unemployment Rate is expected to remain constant at 3.4%, according to the majority of economists. Aside from this, the Australian economy must have added 22,500 new jobs to the labor market in December, a down from the prior rises of 64K.
