January 27th - Latest industry data shows that major UK retailers saw their fastest price increases this month since February 2024, driven by rising prices in food, furniture, health, and beauty products. The British Retail Consortium (BRC) Store Price Index shows that retail prices rose 1.5% year-on-year in January, up from 0.7% in December. Food prices rose 3.9% year-on-year, up from 3.3% in December, marking the largest increase since October last year. "Any claims that inflation has peaked are not supported by these figures," said BRC Chief Executive Dickinson. "Store price inflation surged this month as businesses faced persistently high energy costs and the continued pass-through of National Insurance (NPIC) increases. Meat, fish, and fruit were particularly affected."BHP Billiton has surpassed Commonwealth Bank of Australia to become Australias most valuable stock.Chart: Speculative Sentiment Index on Tuesday, January 27, 2026On January 27th, according to a research report from Chaos Tiancheng Futures, the main lithium carbonate contract fell 6.56% yesterday, closing at 165,680 yuan/ton. Following increased regulatory scrutiny from exchanges last week, the scope and intensity of window guidance have been further expanded this week, significantly suppressing market sentiment. If speculative funds withdraw before the holiday, the subsequent trend and pace may depend on the post-holiday verification of the actual supply and demand situation in the spot market. In the short term, due to excessive trading in previous lithium price expectations and a rapid price increase, there is a risk of correction following increased regulation. Given the compliance risks facing domestic supply and the continued risks of resource nationalism and geopolitics for overseas supply, we believe that the central price of lithium carbonate will maintain an upward trend until the narrative of a supply-demand reversal driven by high lithium battery demand is disproven.Hyundai Motors stock price narrowed its losses; it was last quoted at 479,500 won, down 2.6%.

Following the release of the minutes from the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), the AUD/JPY pair surged above the 90.30-point critical resistance level. According to the RBA minutes, policymakers actively considered the decision to raise rates further. However, the decision to maintain the status quo was made after the collection of additional data.

 

Citing the resilience of Australia's financial system, RBA policymakers believed that the Board's future cash rate decisions would depend on the global economy, household spending trends, inflation projections, and employment forecasts.

 

Continue to monitor China's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) statistics. Compared to its stagnant performance in the final quarter of CY2022, the Chinese economy is estimated to have grown by 2.2%. Compared to the previous annual growth rate of 2.9%, the current annual growth rate for the economy is 4.0%. Australia is China's greatest trading partner, and stronger Chinese GDP data would strengthen the Australian Dollar.

 

The announcement of the People's Bank of China (PBOC) interest rate decision later this week will be crucial. Last week, the People's Bank of China pledged to provide additional monetary support to spur retail demand. Despite the reopening of China's economy following a period of economic restraint, the country's inflation rate has been consistently declining over the past few months.

 

According to Jiji news and Reuters, the Bank of Japan is reportedly considering a projection for consumer price growth between 1.6% and 1.9% for the 2025 fiscal year, a move seen as preventing market participants from betting on the central bank's departure from stimulus. This has also delayed the possibility of a shift away from an expansionary monetary policy, which cannot be considered until the Japanese inflation rate persists above 2%.
