On April 11th, the High-Level Forum on the Development of Intelligent Electric Vehicles (2026) was held. Su Bo, Vice Chairman of the National Manufacturing Power Construction Strategy Advisory Committee and former Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, stated that the 15th Five-Year Plan period is crucial for my countrys transformation from a major automobile producer to a leading automobile power. New energy vehicles must shoulder the national mission of building a strong manufacturing nation, a strong science and technology nation, a strong transportation nation, and achieving the "dual-carbon" goals. By 2030, new energy vehicles will become the absolute mainstay of the automobile market, with a domestic penetration rate exceeding 70%. The goal of building a leading new energy vehicle nation is expected to be achieved ahead of schedule by the end of the 15th Five-Year Plan period.NASA: The four astronauts who were on the Artemis 2 mission safely exited the spacecraft.April 11 - According to the Yangpu Transportation and Port Authority, in the first quarter of 2026, Yangpu Ports container throughput reached 983,700 TEUs, nearly doubling (up 94.37% year-on-year); among them, the growth rate of foreign trade container throughput was particularly rapid, basically achieving a 2-fold increase (up 199% year-on-year), successfully achieving a "good start" for port production in the first quarter.April 11th - According to Dutch regulators, Full Self-Driving (FSD) has received regulatory approval in the Netherlands, marking the first time FSD has been approved in the European market.

US Dollar/JPY Yields May Fall Below 131,000 Ahead of Vice President Joe Biden's SOTU Address

At 130.90, the USD/JPY is under pressure, extending yesterday's decline from the highest level in a month. In doing so, the Yen pair tracks the recent decrease in US Treasury bond yields despite a dismal start to Tokyo trading on Wednesday. In recent times, geopolitical concerns have combined contradictory Japan data and Fedspeak to weigh on the market.

 

At the time of publication, rates on 10-year US Treasury notes reversed a three-day increase while retreating from a one-month high of approximately 3.68 percent to 3.67%. The US Dollar Index (DXY) has fallen for the second consecutive day to approximately 103.30. In spite of this, S&P 500 Futures exhibit minor losses, mirroring Wall Street and reflecting a negative sentiment.

 

Japan's trade deficit decreased to -1,225.6B from -1,814.6B expected and -1,537.8B earlier, while the Current Account balance decreased to 33.4B from -1,803.6B and 98.4B.

 

President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis Neel Kashkari told CNN, "We may have to maintain higher interest rates for a longer period of time," adding that he does not anticipate a recession. Jerome Powell, chairman of the Federal Reserve, then declared, "Expect 2023 to be a year of large declines in inflation," adding that if data continued to come in better than anticipated, he would certainly boost rates further.

 

Notably, optimism surrounding the Japanese government's wage negotiations with labor leaders in March appears to have fuelled optimism at home. However, China's denial of the Pentagon's request maintains the geopolitical tension at a high level.

 

Traders of the USD/JPY pair should rely on Bank of Japan (BoJ) discussions to target more losses, especially in light of recent hawkish concerns surrounding the Japanese central bank. Today's State of the Union (SOTU) speech by United States Vice President Joe Biden will also be vital to follow. Reuters said prior to the event, "US Vice President Joe Biden will face Republicans who question his legitimacy and a public apprehensive about the country's direction during Tuesday's State of the Union address, which is expected to serve as a blueprint for a 2024 re-election attempt,"
