Iran tends to interpret the agreement strictly according to its text, while the US emphasizes its overall spirit. This difference is particularly evident in the Strait of Hormuz passage arrangements. The analysis suggests that Iran hopes to establish the current arrangement as a bilateral temporary ceasefire agreement with international legal force, while the US views it as an "understanding" that Iran will guarantee unimpeded navigation in the Strait of Hormuz for the next 60 days, after which further discussions will proceed. Hudisteanu pointed out that Iran currently prioritizes the Strait of Hormuz issue and uses it as a key bargaining chip in negotiations with the US; while the US hopes to resolve the Strait issue quickly and shift the focus of negotiations to the Iranian nuclear issue.Ukrainian President Zelensky: If Russia does not end the war, we will have to postpone this deadline again.Ukrainian President Zelensky: Since the full escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the Russian military has set 15 deadlines for the complete occupation of the Donetsk region, but has failed to achieve them all.

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.
