The U.S. will impose high new tariffs on $20 billion worth of other Canadian goods after Wednesdays deadline. If an agreement is reached, the tariff level will be significantly lower than the 25% tariff currently imposed by Trump on auto imports. Sources indicated that U.S. officials have proposed deducting only U.S. value components from the current 15% tariff on Canadian autos, but Canadian officials want to deduct all North American components, including parts from Canada and Mexico. Automotive industry officials say that if a broader deduction of regional value components is implemented, the effective U.S. tariff rate on North American-made cars could fall to single digits. This rate is far lower than the current 15% tariff on North American cars imported from Japan, South Korea, and the European Union, and the 10% tariff on most British cars.Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan told US President Donald Trump that Israel is attacking Palestinians in Gaza, when the second phase of the peace plan was supposed to take effect.Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan told US President Donald Trump that it is important to continue dialogue with Iran to make full use of diplomatic channels, and that Türkiye is ready to contribute to this effort.1.

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.
