With inflationary pressures intensifying, the Bank of Japan is expected to raise its short-term policy rate from 0.75% to 1% on Tuesday. Kameda stated that this would have been done in April had the Middle East war not broken out. He indicated that if the peace agreement facilitates the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, it might alleviate some of the pressure on the Bank of Japan to raise interest rates faster than expected to curb inflation. "However, this will not change the Bank of Japans plan to normalize monetary policy by raising interest rates approximately twice a year, pushing up the still low real borrowing costs," Kameda said. He pointed out that after the June rate hike, the Bank of Japan is likely to raise rates again in October or December. Furthermore, Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda will miss the June meeting due to treatment for an infectious liver cyst in the hospital. Deputy Governor Shinichi Uchida will preside over the press conference on his behalf. Seisaku Kameda stated that Shinichi Uchida is expected to reiterate the Bank of Japans determination to continue raising interest rates, but given the continued uncertainty surrounding the situation in the Middle East, he will avoid giving a clear indication of the timing of the next rate hike.The China Earthquake Networks Center officially reported that a magnitude 3.0 earthquake occurred at 11:24 on June 15 in Linhe District, Bayannur City, Inner Mongolia (40.72 degrees north latitude, 107.35 degrees east longitude), with a focal depth of 10 kilometers.June 15 – Public consultation on Hong Kongs first Five-Year Plan began today (June 15).

LUNA Revival，Terra Founder Do Kwon Fails to Stimulate UST

Terraform Labs CEO and Terra blockchain pioneer Do Kwon broke his silence on Wednesday, after a night of volatility in the UST and LUNA markets.


Markets had been expecting him to present an alleged "recovery plan" as promised in a tweet on Tuesday for over 20 hours.


Kwon speaks to the Terra residents.


"I realize the past 72 hours have been tremendously difficult for all of you," he added in a fresh Twitter thread on Wednesday, before promising the Terra community that "I am committed to work with every one of you to weather this crisis, and we will build our way out of this." Together.”


"Before $UST can start to repeg, the only road ahead will be to absorb the stablecoin supply that wants to go," he stated.


As a consequence, he said that Terraform Labs (TFL) "endorses the community proposal 1164," which would enable the Terra blockchain to absorb the UST supply more swiftly.


"Obviously, this comes at a great cost to UST and LUNA holders," he continued, "but we will continue to investigate alternative strategies to bring in additional external money to the ecosystem and minimize UST supply overhang."


Other community recommendations, he added, will be examined as well.


Kwon went on to say that once UST is rebuilt, the collateralization method would be tweaked, and he ended his post by trying to calm down the Terra community.


"With hundreds of dedicated teams producing category-defining apps inside the Terra ecosystem, it is one of the most vibrant in the crypto business," he added. "We will emerge out of this together as long as these builders, including TFL, keep building."

The UST and LUNA Markets Were Unimpressed.

The price of Terra's flagship algorithmic stablecoin UST has not recovered as a result of Kwon's "recovery plan." As the start of the US trading day approaches, it continues to trade at low levels in the $0.30 range.


Meanwhile, the influx of UST supply, which is then turned into LUNA supply thanks to Terra's mint-burn process, continues to weigh hard on the token. It just dropped below $2.0 for the first time since February 2021.


LUNA/USD has lost almost 97 percent of its value since the beginning of the week, when it was trading at $65 per token, and is down over 98 percent from its all-time high near $120 at the beginning of the month.


The selling pressure on LUNA is unlikely to diminish as long as there remains a backlog of UST to be converted into LUNA (where it will almost certainly be sold soon after conversion).


With UST trading so much below its peg, many UST holders will have no choice but to use Terra's mint-burn mechanism to convert their UST into the same USD amount of LUNA and then sell it immediately.
