On January 30th, Vanke Enterprise (02202.HK) announced on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that it expects a net loss of approximately RMB 82 billion for 2025, compared to a loss of RMB 49.478 billion in the same period last year. The company anticipates a loss in 2025 primarily due to a significant decrease in the settlement scale of real estate development projects, resulting in a still low gross profit margin; new provisions for credit impairment and asset impairment; overall losses from certain operating businesses after deducting depreciation and amortization; losses from certain non-core financial investments; and some large-scale asset and equity transactions being priced below book value.The UK and Germany will host a meeting of the Ukraine Defense Liaison Group on February 12.On January 30th, Ourpalm announced that it expects a net loss of 90 million to 180 million yuan in 2025.

Financial: Upgraded SanDisk (SNDK.O) from Market Perform to Outperform.January 30th - Ukraine is facing serious new nuclear security risks. A Russian attack aimed at disrupting its power grid has left the countrys three operating nuclear power plants without a stable power supply. Diplomats held an emergency meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna to discuss the impact of the Kremlins attacks on critical infrastructure needed to maintain the operation of Ukrainian reactors. Months of attacks have not only left millions facing a dark and cold winter but have also increased the likelihood of a nuclear accident. This is because nuclear power generation, unlike fossil fuel or renewable energy plants, requires a continuous current to maintain its safety systems. If power is cut off, the fuel inside the reactor core could overheat, leading to a dangerous release of radioactive material. European countries have requested the IAEA to provide a detailed assessment of Ukraines vulnerability by next month. Currently, monitoring personnel stationed in Ukraine are inspecting key substations necessary for power transmission.

With RBA Minutes and central banks in focus, AUD/USD extends its three-day gain above 0.6700

AUD/USD accepts offers to achieve a fresh intraday high near 0.6735 during Tuesday's Asian session, extending the corrective comeback from the yearly low. In doing so, the Australian pair departs from typical pre-event restraint in the face of a light schedule and a variety of concerns.

 

However, the recently issued Australia weekly Consumer Confidence, as reported by ANZ Roy Morgan, rose 0.4% week-over-week, but failed to excite AUD/USD bulls because markets worry the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) inability to defend aggressive rate moves.

 

Similarly, the recent fall in inflation expectations and the market's anticipation of the RBA's and People's Bank of China's (PBOC) measures had aided AUD/USD buyers in the past.

 

Notable is the fact that US inflation expectations, as measured by the 10-year breakeven inflation rate according to the St. Louis Federal Reserve (FRED) statistics, fell for the third consecutive day to a two-month low of approximately 2.34 percent by the end of Monday's North American trading session. Moreover, according to FRED data, the 5-year breakeven inflation rate plunged to 2.44 percent, its lowest level since September 2021. Concerns were raised regarding the unanticipated market response to the Fed's hawkish wagers. Given the drop in US inflation projections, concerns of a short squeeze in the Aussie-U.S. dollar pair receive considerable attention, allowing the AUD/USD to sustain its momentum.

 

However, US President Biden's willingness to defend Taiwan if China attacks Taiwan and hawkish expectations for the Fed appeared to weigh on the AUD/USD exchange market ahead of significant monetary policy announcements. In response to US Vice President Joe Biden's remarks, China's Foreign Ministry declared on Monday that Beijing "deplores and fiercely opposes this and has lodged strong concerns."

 

In light of these circumstances, the CME's FedWatch algorithm forecasts an 82% chance of a 75-basis-point rate hike at the monetary policy meeting on Wednesday. In addition, the tool says that there is an 18% likelihood that the Fed's rate would raise by one percent. Wall Street ended on a high note, allowing S&P 500 Futures to record slight gains as traders prepare for the opening of the real markets. Additionally, US Treasury interest rates remain positive near the multi-day peak.

 

Prior to the release of secondary US home market data, AUD/USD buyers may be interested in the RBA Minutes and the PBOC's anticipated rate cut. Nonetheless, the Federal Open Market Committee meeting on Wednesday merits the highest attention (FOMC).
