On July 30th, Blerina Uruci, chief U.S. economist at Praxair, stated that assuming no significant rise in oil prices and low inflation, the Federal Reserve is likely to keep interest rates unchanged at its September meeting. In a report, she noted that given the number of dissenting votes at Wednesdays Federal Open Market Committee meeting and the uncertainty surrounding oil prices, market expectations for the September rate decision reflect a 50/50 probability. The market will continue to pressure the Fed and is unlikely to back down until inflation data compels it to act, maintaining its view that interest rates will remain unchanged. The June core CPI data did not influence the Feds decision, adding that Warsh is watching this trend and that "if hes lucky, this trend could work in his favor a few months later."Scotiabank lowered its price target for Meta Platforms (META.O) from $700 to $600.Local officials said a Russian missile attack in Krivirikh, Ukraine, killed six people, including children, and injured eight others.Piper Jaffray: Lowered its price target for Meta Platforms (META.O) from $800 to $785.On July 30th, Digitimes analyst Derek Huang stated in a report that the timeline for TSMCs Japanese factory to fully resume production remains to be seen due to ongoing aftershocks.

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.
