On September 10th, Eburys Chief FX Strategist, Roman Zyrulke, stated that the impact of the US Treasurys increased intervention on the US dollar may be more lasting than its effect on yields themselves. The initial intention of repurchase operations was not to solve the deficit problem; however, the markets interpretation of why the Treasury felt the need to intervene and resort to unconventional means has itself become a source of risk premium. This deviates from the traditional economic logic that rising yields typically support the domestic currency exchange rate by attracting capital inflows. Conversely, despite the rising yields, the dollar remains weak because investors increasingly see it as a sign of fiscal and institutional pressure rather than a strong economic performance.Israel Defense Forces: Yesterday, the Israel Defense Forces and the Israel Security Service carried out strikes in three areas of the Gaza Strip, dismantling three Hamas weapons storage facilities.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy: He will meet with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to discuss how to enhance resilience, support the people, and ensure that Ukraine has the capabilities it needs to defend itself.Ukrainian President Zelensky: I have arrived in Canada and plan to hold important meetings and sign agreements that will shape future cooperation between the two countries and consolidate and deepen the strategic level of bilateral relations.On September 10th, Jonathan Pryor, co-head of trading and head of private markets at Marex FX, warned in a report that the European Central Bank (ECB) could be "put on the defensive" after its interest rate decision on Thursday. He said, "If the ECB misjudges the situation and assumes this rate hike will be a one-off move, and ends up lagging behind other G10 central banks with higher rates, it could have long-term consequences for Lagarde and the ECBs reputation." He added, "A more complex challenge for the ECB is coordinating monetary policy while also addressing the volatile bond spreads between sovereign nations, a challenge that is rarely discussed." Pryor noted, "Any statement concerning the bond market will be crucial, as this is typically a topic the ECB is reluctant to address, but it will inevitably become part of the challenges it faces in the coming months."

The AUD/JPY exchange rate fluctuates below 90.00 as investors await BoJ action

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.

 

Thursday is the expected publication date for Australian employment statistics, which investors are monitoring. The Unemployment Rate is expected to remain constant at 3.4%, according to the majority of economists. Aside from this, the Australian economy must have added 22,500 new jobs to the labor market in December, a down from the prior rises of 64K.
