Iranian President: The meeting with the Supreme Leader lasted 7-8 hours.On August 10th, according to Kyodo News, several Japanese government officials revealed that the Japanese and US governments conducted an unusual joint intervention to buy yen on July 31st (US Eastern Time), the first such action in 28 years. The decisive factor was that Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda strongly hinted at a press conference that day (July 31st) that policy interest rates would be raised as soon as possible, in September or later. Ueda explicitly stated that if necessary, the pace of interest rate hikes would be "accelerated." The US side gave a positive assessment, and both sides were aligned in preventing excessive yen depreciation. This is because the US is concerned that Japans slow pace of interest rate hikes has led to excessive yen depreciation, which could trigger further price increases and a rise in long-term interest rates, potentially impacting global financial markets. A senior Japanese government official revealed: "Governor Uedas statement was very persuasive to the US. At the same time, this also means that the Bank of Japan has no choice but to raise interest rates at its next policy meeting (September 17-18)."Market news: Meta Platforms (META.O) supports Texas Governor Abbotts review of data centers.Novo Nordisk (NVO.N): A consortium of stakeholders has joined forces in London to create an innovation hub.

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.
