Italian AI startup iGenius has launched a large-scale language model based on Nvidia Corp NVDA.O technology designed for highly regulated industries.On January 16, Stuart Bergman, an analyst at Export Development Canada, said that as we enter 2025, the global economy is being pulled in two directions, and given the uncertainty of future policies, the fluctuations seen in recent years are likely to continue. The chief economist of Canadas export credit agency pointed out that the world is facing challenging economic conditions, with the exception of the United States, where the economy has proven to be durable. Global economic growth is expected to be 3.1% in 2025 and 3.2% in 2026, still below potential levels. Bergman believes that another area where the United States is expected to be an exception is in terms of policy, including regulatory, fiscal and trade policies, and compliance with global trade norms and conventions.Danish Prime Minister: We do not want a trade conflict with US President-elect Trump, but we are preparing for it together with Danish companies.U.S. Bancorp (USB.N) shares fell after rising in pre-market trading, with the largest drop reaching 4.6%.On January 16, Export Development Canada predicted that Canadas economic outlook remains sluggish this year, with an expected growth rate of 1.8%. Price Owusu, a senior economist at the agency, said that despite easing inflation and the Bank of Canadas five interest rate cuts since June, Canadian consumers remain unusually pessimistic. This has led households to increase savings and slow consumer spending. Owusu said that businesses have matched the pessimism and investment has been lagging behind. However, the agency expects consumer spending to gradually grow moderately as low interest rates ease the burden on consumers, while large projects such as the final stage of construction of Canadas liquefied natural gas export terminal and spending on electric vehicles and batteries will support business investment.

AUD / JPY Nears 92.00 on Stronger-Than-Expected Aussie Retail Sales

The AUD / JPY has approached the immediate resistance level of 92.00 as the Australian Bureau of Statistics published Retail Sales (January) data that was better than expected. The 1.9% GDP growth rate was better than expected, coming in at 1.5%. In December, retail sales decreased by 3.9%.

 

At a moment when the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) and other policymakers are formulating a strategy to reduce inflationary pressures, encouraging data on retail demand will only make matters worse. Australian inflation has not yet hit its highest level despite the RBA raising the Official Cash Rate (OCR) to 3.35 percent. The RBA's policy tightening cycle is not expected to come to a stop any time soon given the lack of data suggesting a slowdown in overall demand.

 

On Wednesday, when Australia's GDP and CPI are published, the cross will surge.

 

The fourth quarter of 2022 is expected to increase by 0.7%, up from 0.6% in the third quarter. On an annualized measure, Australia's GDP is expected to grow by 2.7%, up from 5.9% in the previous report.

 

The January CPI is expected to fall to 7.9% from 8.4%, in addition to the Australian GDP figures. RBA Governor Philip Lowe and other policymakers who are worried about Australia's persistent inflation will find relief from a reduction in monthly inflationary pressures.

 

The surprisingly dovish tone of Bank of Japan (BoJ) Governor-nominee Kazuo Ueda is affecting the value of the Japanese Yen. From the perspective of BoJ Ueda, Japan's multi-decade high inflation is suitable to continue the expansionary policy to stimulate wages and domestic demand as a result of external forces.

 

Japan's yearly Retail Trade (Jan) increased to 6.3% from 4.0% and 3.8% in early Asia. The Japanese Yuan, however, was unable to benefit.
