Hong Kong Stock Exchange: Tencent Holdings (00700.HK) will repurchase 1.1 million shares for cancellation on May 21, 2026, for a total consideration of HK$500.6 million.On May 21, Goldman Sachs stated in a report that Nvidia (NVDA.O) outperformed expectations in its first fiscal quarter ending in April, with strong guidance and optimized capital allocation proving particularly strong. The firm believes that the sustainability of capital expenditures provides a clear path for Nvidia to continue outperforming the market. Goldman Sachs raised its earnings per share forecast for Nvidia by an average of 6% to reflect higher revenue expectations and a lower-than-expected tax rate (consistent with the companys guidance); and raised its price target from $250 to $285, maintaining a "buy" rating. Given Nvidias strong quarterly results and guidance far exceeding market expectations (despite already optimistic market sentiment prior to the earnings release), Goldman Sachs expects Nvidias stock price to rise moderately. Goldman Sachs noted that prior to the earnings release, investor expectations had already risen due to hyperscale cloud service providers raising their capital expenditure forecasts. However, Goldman Sachs believes that Nvidias second-quarter guidance still exceeds these already revised expectations.The European Commission states that the downward trend in long-term unemployment is nearing its end.

As BoJ Udea Mentions the Appropriateness of Current Monetary Policy, EUR/JPY Exhibits a V-Shaped Movement

When Kazuo Ueda, the nominee for Governor of the Bank of Japan (BoJ), addresses the Japanese parliament, the EUR/JPY currency pair exhibits a V-shaped movement. The commentary of Haruhiko Kuroda's successor as Governor of the Bank of Japan has increased the volatility of the Japanese Yen.

 

As he describes the current monetary policy as appropriate and necessary to sustain 2% inflation, BoJ Ueda's speech appears more diplomatic. Moreover, he stated that rising import prices are the cause of Japan's rising inflation. Domestic demand is still insufficient, but the central bank is attempting to achieve pre-pandemic growth rates. The neighborhood has descended into lunacy as a result of his speech's absence of Yield conversion control (YCC) discussions.

 

Despite current discussions about the expansion of the YCC, the economic outlook for the Japanese Yen is positive, as the Bank of Japan is working to increase labor costs, which will confidently support a revival in overall demand.

 

Nordea economists continue to be optimistic about the Japanese Yen: "We remain fairly sanguine on JPY due to our expectations of a change in Bank of Japan monetary policy later this year." According to a note from Nordea, the time is ripe for a normalization of the Bank of Japan's stimulative monetary policy, "with inflation reaching its highest level in decades and a prognosis for higher wage growth."

 

Despite the easing of inflationary pressures, investors are concerned that the normalization of the Eurozone economy will take a significant amount of time. In order to maintain a ceiling on the price index, the European Central Bank (ECB) is anticipated to continue raising interest rates.
