Bank of England Governor Bailey: Tariffs are not the right way to solve imbalances.On April 16th, the Federal Reserve stated that economic activity in most parts of the United States continued to grow at a modest to slight pace, as the war with Iran triggered a new wave of uncertainty and energy costs rose. In its Beige Book released Wednesday, the Fed noted that overall price increases remained moderate, but energy and fuel costs rose "significantly" in all 12 Fed districts. The Fed stated, "The Middle East conflict is seen as a major source of uncertainty, increasing complexity for businesses in hiring, pricing, and capital investment decisions, with many adopting a wait-and-see approach." The report, compiled by the New York Fed, uses data up to April 6th and reflects the initial impact of the war on the U.S. economy. The oil price shock triggered by the conflict pushed up gasoline prices, driving U.S. inflation to its largest increase since 2022 in March. Several Fed policymakers have signaled a preference for maintaining stable interest rates for an extended period to assess economic data.According to Futures News on April 16, as of the close of trading at 2:30 PM, the main Shanghai Gold futures contract fell by 0.38%, the main Shanghai Silver futures contract rose by 0.10%, and the main SC crude oil futures contract fell by 0.17%.April 16th - As of 2:30 PM closing, the Shanghai Gold futures contract fell 0.38% to 1056 yuan/gram, the Shanghai Silver futures contract rose 0.10% to 19664 yuan/kilogram, and the SC crude oil futures contract fell 0.17% to 634 yuan/barrel.On April 16, White House Press Secretary Janet Levitt did not specify how long the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports would last. “Regarding the blockade, as you know, the measures are fully implemented and are being enforced against all vessels of all countries entering and leaving Iranian ports,” Levitt said. “This includes all Iranian ports along the Arabian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman.” She added, “We support freedom of navigation, but not any tankers or vessels that would benefit the Iranian economy, especially while negotiations are ongoing.”

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.
