On September 10th, according to two sources familiar with the matter, the U.S. Department of Justice is investigating whether Nvidia (NVDA.O) attempted to circumvent antitrust scrutiny in connection with a deal signed last year with artificial intelligence chip maker Groq. Groq described the deal at the time as a "non-exclusive licensing agreement" allowing Nvidia to use Groq chips specifically designed by Groq for running AI tasks. As part of the arrangement, Groq CEO Jonathan Ross and COO Sonny Madeira joined Nvidia. AI companies have entered into numerous similar deals, including licensing technology and hiring key personnel from other companies, but without making direct acquisitions. These arrangements often circumvent the automatic government review of traditional mergers and acquisitions, which aims to determine whether a transaction would harm market competition.According to the New York Times, regulators are investigating a licensing agreement between Nvidia and Groq.September 10th - The seventh batch of national centralized procurement of medical consumables will open for bidding today (September 10th) in Tianjin. This round of procurement focuses on digestive interventional medical consumables, including 23 varieties, covering consumables related to gastrointestinal polyp removal and biliary and pancreatic interventional therapy, with a procurement cycle of approximately 3 years. This round of procurement adheres to the principles of "stabilizing clinical needs, ensuring quality, preventing internal competition, and preventing bid rigging," optimizing procurement rules, and balancing the protection of diverse clinical needs with high-quality development of the industry.September 10th - According to Axios, the Trump administration plans to issue $500 refund checks to up to one million people who claim they were overcharged under the Obamacare scheme. These direct deposits will be distributed to residents of 30 states ahead of the November 3rd midterm elections; this comes as Trump heavily promotes the cost savings of his tax cuts and prescription drug program.On September 10th, the World Trade Organization (WTO) released its Goods Trade Barometer on September 9th, showing an index of 102.0, higher than the baseline of 100 and the previous index of 101.7 in June, indicating that goods trade is above trend and continuing to grow. The WTO stated that despite ongoing geopolitical and policy-related uncertainties, global goods trade growth remains resilient. The negative impact of the Middle East conflict continues to be partially offset by strong demand for goods such as artificial intelligence-related electronic components. According to the WTOs rules for compiling the Global Goods Trade Barometer, a value of 100 is the baseline; an index greater than 100 indicates that global goods trade growth is higher than expected, while a value lower than 100 indicates that growth is lower than expected.

Prior to the release of Australian employment data, the AUD/JPY pair attempts to regain 89.00

The AUD/JPY pair attempts to reclaim the critical resistance level of 89.00 during the Asian session. Kazuo Ueda, the governor of the Bank of Japan (BoJ), has advocated for an extension of the already decade-long ultra-loose monetary policy in order to consistently achieve an inflation rate above 2%.

 

The decelerating Producer Price Index (PPI) contradicts the optimistic outlook of the Japanese government regarding wage growth. As expected by market participants, the March PPI did not change. The annual PPI came in at 7.2%, which was higher than the consensus estimate of 7.1% but lower than the previous release of 8.1%. The inability of companies to sustain accelerating production rates at factory gates is indicative of weak household demand.

 

Analysts at Commerzbank anticipate that the Japanese Yen will only appreciate over the long term if the current monetary policy is abandoned quickly.

 

Regarding the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) Yield Curve Control (YCC), the IMF has stated that allowing more flexibility in YCC could have repercussions for global markets, but it could also prevent future policy shifts that could result in significant spillovers.

 

Investors are awaiting the March Employment Report for fresh impetus in the Australian Dollar. The market expects the Australian economy to add 20,000 employment, which is less than the previous estimate of 64.6K. While the Unemployment Rate is expected to rise to 3.6% from 3.5% in February, it is anticipated that the Unemployment Rate will increase to 3.6%.

 

Governor Philip Lowe of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has left the door open for additional rate hikes if Australian inflation persists, so the publication of stronger-than-expected employment gains could reignite fears of additional rate hikes.
