Apple (AAPL.O) launches a subscription service for creative apps.Deepgram, a voice AI technology startup, said Tuesday it has raised $130 million at a $1.3 billion valuation and plans to expand into international markets, launch new models, and make acquisitions.January 13th - According to foreign media reports, as core inflation unexpectedly declined slightly in December, investors rushed to buy US government bonds, causing a sharp drop in US Treasury yields and a sell-off of the US dollar. The US core inflation rate in December was 2.6% year-on-year, failing to accelerate to the predicted 2.7%. While these inflation indicators are unlikely to change expectations that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged later this month, they may alleviate concerns that accelerating inflation could delay a new round of rate cuts.January 13th - According to CNBC analysis, the U.S. core consumer price index (CPI) rose less than expected in December, further strengthening market confidence that inflation is cooling as the Federal Reserve considers its next interest rate policy move. Data released Tuesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that the seasonally adjusted core CPI rose 0.2% month-on-month and 2.6% year-on-year, both 0.1 percentage points lower than market expectations. Overall, both the monthly and year-on-year CPI rates were in line with market expectations. This report indicates to some extent that the pace of price increases is slowing towards the Feds 2% target, but the level remains relatively high. Among the sub-items, housing costs, a key factor with strong inflation stickiness, rose 0.4% month-on-month, becoming the largest single contributor to the CPI increase that month. This category accounts for more than one-third of the CPI and rose 3.2% year-on-year.January 13th - According to Reuters, traders increased their bets on Tuesday that the Federal Reserve might not wait until Fed Chairman Jerome Powells term ends in May to cut interest rates, after the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that basic consumer price increases were slightly lower than expected. While traders still believe a June rate cut is the most likely outcome, the latest data projects a 42% probability of a Fed rate cut in April, up from 38% before the data release.

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.
