Bank of England Chief Economist Peel: Monetary policy has not been tight enough in the past few years.June 29th - Thomas Mathews, Head of Asia Pacific Markets at Capital Economics, stated in a report that the rally in US Treasuries that previously drove yields lower is expected to lose momentum, while German bonds may rise further. He said that US Treasuries face some key tests this week. He pointed out that one of the key reasons for the Federal Reserves rate cuts is to protect the health of the labor market. "But labor market momentum has strengthened recently, and we expect the US June jobs report, to be released later this week, to be strong again," Mathews said. It is becoming increasingly clear that labor market conditions will not be a reason to postpone tightening policy. "This may be the biggest risk facing US Treasuries in the near term, but it is not the only risk."On June 29th, Samsung Group Chairman Lee Jae-yong stated, "This is a race against time."

During the Asian session, in response to negative signals from the US dollar index, the USD/JPY pair plunged below 146.00. (DXY). Following Wednesday's low of 146.22, the asset's two-day downward trend has extended. The main index is reaching the bottom of Monday's knee-jerk reaction near 145.77 as it continues to decline.

 

The dollar bears are facing a severe sell-off due to the positive market sentiment. The risk-sensitive currencies have benefited from an increase in risk appetite. The US dollar index (DXY) has struck a new monthly low of 109.56 and is anticipated to stay volatile until the release of crucial US economic data.

 

The increased demand for U.S. government bonds has resulted in a decline in yields. This is due to the global markets' increased confidence. The yield on 10-year United States Treasury notes has decreased to 4%.

 

According to estimates, the Gross Domestic Product of the United States expanded by 2.4% in the third quarter. Despite the ultra-hawkish monetary policies of the Federal Reserve (Fed) and the previously disclosed 0.6% fall in growth, forecasts indicate a positive growth rate.

 

In addition, US Durable Goods Orders data will continue to be a key point. Compared to a reduction of 0.2%, it is projected that economic statistics will increase by 0.6%. Notable is the increase in core inflation, which includes oil and food prices. In spite of this, the predicted increase in demand for durable goods in the United States demonstrates healthy household demand.

 

Investors in Tokyo are anticipating the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) interest rate decision on Friday. In view of the shocks to foreign demand, BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda will continue an ultra-loose monetary policy to stimulate the outlook for economic development. In addition, Japanese policymakers are anxious that the inflation rate could go below 2%; hence, an extremely liberal policy is the best alternative.
