Hungarian Prime Minister Majol: Hungary is considering several options for introducing a wealth tax.On June 11th, MHA economic advisor Joe Nellis stated that despite widespread concerns about sluggish economic growth, policymakers are making a wise decision to act decisively to curb inflation, given the European Central Banks (ECB) expected interest rate hike on Thursday. He pointed out that the ECB has faced criticism for its slow response in 2022-2023, leading to inflation exceeding 10%. "Although economic growth in the region remains weak, the ECB is demonstrating its readiness to act," Nellis noted. On the positive side, higher interest rates could attract foreign investment, strengthening the euro and putting downward pressure on prices, although this cannot fully offset the costs to economic growth.Tencent Holdings (00700.HK): On June 11, it spent approximately HK$500 million to repurchase shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.On June 11th, JD.com officially released its Agent Autonomous Payment Protocol (A2P2).

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.
