On May 24, local time, Mohsen Rezaei, military advisor to Irans Supreme Leader, stated that Iran will respond "strongly and unprecedentedly" to any actions targeting the Strait of Hormuz or hostile forces entering the Persian Gulf, and will initiate countermeasures by breaking the maritime blockade.

Eurozone inflation this year may be higher than previously expected, while countries are still grappling with previous price shocks. Meanwhile, the economy has shown considerable resilience. "There are always some extremely low-probability scenarios that could lead to different assessments of the situation, but currently, all indications suggest we will have to decide between maintaining interest rates and raising them," Kocher said. "And it is clear to me that if the situation does not improve, we will have to focus our discussions on taking action." He also stated that it is not appropriate to make any commitments now, and doing so would be meaningless. Uncertainty is high, so too many options should not be ruled out prematurely.

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.
