WHO: No travel and trade restrictions are needed after India reports two cases of Nipah virus.WHO: The risk of Nipah virus spreading from India is low.Japans Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry reported that crude oil imports in Japan increased by 17.7% year-on-year in December, gasoline sales increased by 2.4% year-on-year, and refined oil product sales increased by 2.3% year-on-year.On January 30th, during Asian trading hours, long-term US Treasury bonds were sold off due to market speculation that US President Trump would nominate former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh to be the next Federal Reserve Chairman, and that he would push for a reduction in the Feds bond holdings. Several foreign media outlets have reported that Warsh met with Trump at the White House on Thursday, and the White House is preparing for Warshs nomination. Damien Boey, portfolio strategist at Wilson Asset Management in Sydney, said, "Warsh has publicly stated that he prefers lower interest rates. But his trade-off for lowering interest rates is that he wants the Fed to shrink its balance sheet." Boey pointed out that long-term bonds are particularly vulnerable to the impact of the Feds balance sheet reduction because it means that the central banks support in the money market may weaken.On January 30th, major Hong Kong stock indices opened lower and declined in the morning session, experiencing a slight rebound before continuing to fluctuate at low levels.

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.
