Google (GOOG.O): Google Finance will be launched in more than 100 countries in the coming weeks, with full local language support.EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Karas: The ceasefire in Iran is reassuring, but uncertainty remains in the region.April 8th - Following a lukewarm reception from overseas investors at several U.S. Treasury auctions last month, this weeks 10-year and 30-year Treasury auctions will be closely watched for signs of weakening foreign demand. While Tuesdays three-year bond auction (the first of seven major U.S. government auctions in April) yielded positive results, easing concerns that the war was pushing up borrowing costs due to buyers leaving the market, doubts remain ahead of the 10-year Treasury auction at 1 p.m. ET (1 a.m. Thursday Beijing time). Data from three auctions conducted by the U.S. Treasury in the first half of March showed a decline in the share allocated to foreign accounts. Combined with Federal Reserve data showing a decrease in U.S. Treasury holdings held in custody for foreign official and international accounts since mid-February, this corroborates the view that the war has weakened overseas demand for U.S. Treasury bonds. John Briggs, head of U.S. interest rate strategy at Natixis, stated that the March auction data neither proves nor refutes this theory, as it is only a monthly auction result, but the decline in foreign custody holdings suggests that this may indeed be the case.Fed mouthpiece Nick Timiraos: Even if the conflict had never occurred, the likelihood of a federal funds rate cut is gradually decreasing.

The AUD/NZD exchange rate is stable at the Tokyo open and has fluctuated today between 1.1091 and 1.1115 as a result of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's projections for inflation at the beginning of the week and strong Chinese data.

 

According to analysts at Westpac, as inflation expectations fall, the RBNZ will become more assured that the risks of high inflation becoming ingrained in the economy are waning. This is especially relevant in light of the multi-decade high actual inflation rate and related concerns of a wage-price spiral, analysts said.

 

Analysts did note, however, that the poll "The evidence that there are still strong inflation pressures in the New Zealand economy supports raising interest rates. At the RBNZ policy meeting the following week, a further 50bp increase is anticipated.

 

The New Zealand dollar has since made up all of the losses suffered after Friday's strong US Nonfarm Payrolls report. US bond yields have decreased, which has led to a rise in risk and a decline in the value of the dollar. The most recent surge in NZD strength, according to analysts at ANZ Bank, appears to be the outcome of a stronger AUD, which has reclaimed the lead as markets take in strong Chinese trade data.

 

"Before the critical US Consumer Price data for July is released tomorrow evening, it is doubtful that the NZD will increase much. The Fed's (and the US bond market's) main concern is that monthly core readings will continue to be elevated, even though annual headline inflation may calm down. The specifics will determine if this results in a resurgence of USD strength.
