Reserve Bank of New Zealand Governor Brehman: If we see a shift in pricing behavior, a much stronger economic recovery, and the ability to withstand higher interest rates, we will act and tighten policy sooner rather than later.Reserve Bank of New Zealand Governor Brehman: As the economy recovers, there remains uncertainty about how businesses will adjust their pricing behavior.Reserve Bank of New Zealand Governor Brehman: I am not comfortable at all with inflation at 3.1%.Reserve Bank of New Zealand Governor Brehman: If the inflation outlook changes, the committee will adjust its policy stance to ensure that inflation returns to the target.February 19th - Federal Reserve officials reiterated their concerns about inflation, with several policymakers suggesting that the central bank may need to raise interest rates if inflation persists above target. The minutes of the Feds January meeting revealed that "several participants indicated they would have supported a two-way description of the Committees future interest rate decisions, reflecting that raising the target range for the federal funds rate might be appropriate if inflation remains above target." The minutes also showed that "the vast majority of participants judged that downside risks to employment had eased in recent months, but risks to persistent inflation remained." According to the latest minutes, one group of policymakers believed that further rate cuts were unlikely, at least in the near term. The minutes stated: "Several participants cautioned that further easing of policy against the backdrop of high inflation readings could be misinterpreted as a weakening of policymakers commitment to the 2% inflation target."

USD/CNH rebounds from 7.3300 despite a strong Caixin Manufacturing PMI

After falling to roughly 7.3300 during the Tokyo trading session, the USD/CNH pair demonstrated a V-shaped recovery. Despite the release of positive Caixin Manufacturing PMI data, the asset has made a recovery. The economic data came in at 49.2 against predictions of 49.0 and the prior value of 48.1.

 

China's official Manufacturing PMI dropped to 49.2 from 50.0 and 50.1, as anticipated, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). In addition, the Non-Manufacturing PMI was significantly lower at 48.7, compared to predictions of 51.9 and the last release of 50.6.

 

In the meanwhile, the US dollar index (DXY) in Tokyo has declined significantly as the risk-on sentiment has grown. The DXY has significantly declined to roughly 111.36. S&P500 futures have rallied strongly since Monday's decline due to confidence surrounding the quarterly results season.

 

Despite an increase in hawkish Federal Reserve (Fed) wagers, US government bond returns have dropped. At the time of writing, the yield on the 10-year US Treasury has declined to 4.04%, a decrease of 0.90% from its prior level.

 

This week's major catalyst will be the Federal Reserve's decision on interest rates. As inflationary pressures show no signs of abating, it is anticipated that the US Federal Reserve will hike interest rates by 75 basis points for the fourth time this year (bps). However, consumer spending declined to 1.4% in the third quarter from 2.0% in the previous quarter, which could weigh on the inflation rate.
