Speaking at the Sintra Forum on Tuesday, he said that pausing rate hikes would be reasonable if energy prices stabilize, commodity volatility does not spread, and a second wave of effects does not materialize. "If oil and gas prices remain low, there is no need to rush into further tightening," he said. "Based on the current data, a wait-and-see approach before September may be appropriate." With several weeks until the next policy meeting, markets remain volatile, and Dorenz warned that the situation could change at any time, and geopolitical risks have not completely subsided. "Hostility has resurfaced in recent days," he said. "While all parties hope for a lasting reconciliation, the conflict is unlikely to be resolved in the short term, and uncertainty remains high."The Colombian Central Banks interest rate decision was supported by a majority of its seven board members.Market news: Republican hardliners are blocking the House of Representatives efforts to advance a defense policy bill in protest against Trumps legislative proposals regarding voter identity verification.ECB Governing Council member Dorenz: Based on current data, it may be appropriate for the ECB to pause interest rate hikes in July.

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.
