On January 17, Russian Human Rights Commissioner Moskalikova told reporters in Geneva after meeting with ICRC President Sporalitz that restarting the prisoner-of-war exchange process between Russia and Ukraine is the top priority. She stated that Russia has submitted a list of Ukrainian military personnel in Russia who are ready for repatriation. Previously, Ukraine typically submitted the list, and Russia agreed to repatriation, but the current dialogue with Ukraine is "puzzling." It is difficult to discuss the possible exchange deadline and the number of prisoners at this time, as "various details could emerge until the last minute, potentially disrupting the process or changing its direction."On January 17, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the Ukrainian delegation had arrived in the United States that day and was expected to receive its first briefing on the talks that evening Kyiv time. Zelenskyy said the main task of the Ukrainian delegations trip was to provide the US with comprehensive and accurate information about the current situation. Zelenskyy reiterated that Ukraine has never been, and will never be, an obstacle to peace, and that progress in the current diplomatic process depends on the positions of the partners.On January 17th, it was reported that on January 13th, according to Xian University of Electronic Science and Technology, Academician Hao Yues team at the university broke through a 20-year bottleneck in semiconductor materials technology, achieving a leap forward in chip heat dissipation efficiency and overall performance, providing a replicable Chinese paradigm for solving various high-quality integration problems of semiconductor materials. The relevant findings were recently published in the top international journals *Nature Communications* and *Science Advances*. Zhang Jincheng, Vice President and Professor of Xian University of Electronic Science and Technology, stated, "Inability to dissipate heat can lead to decreased chip performance or even device burnout." The team innovatively injected high-energy ions into the crystal of third-generation semiconductor chips, making the surface of the crystal nucleation layer smooth. This breakthrough reduced the semiconductor thermal resistance to one-third of its original value, solving the heat dissipation problem faced by third-generation and future semiconductor chips. Simultaneously, this breakthrough significantly improved the performance of semiconductor devices.According to Syrian security sources and Turkish defense sources, US-led coalition warplanes flew over northern Syria, where clashes were taking place between Syrian government forces and Kurdish militants.

After plunging below 142.60 during the Asian trading session, the EUR/JPY pair's three-day losing trend was extended. Renewed rumors of an expansion of the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) Yield Curve Control (YCC) are exerting immense pressure on the cross.

 

The Japanese economy is experiencing gradual wage growth, and inflation is expected to respond to recent increases in crude oil prices. Analysts at Wells Fargo believe the BoJ will take advantage of a tactical opportunity to further modify its policy settings in the fourth quarter of 2022, and are inclined toward a meeting in October. They added that this timeframe is optimal for a smooth policy adjustment, as monetary easing from the Federal Reserve (Fed) and other major central banks should alleviate yield pressure.

 

In particular, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) will raise the target yield for 10-year Japanese government bonds (JGBs) from 0% to 0.25% and increase the tolerance interval surrounding this target to +/- 75 basis points.

 

Accelerating PMIs in the Eurozone provide support for the European Central Bank's sustained rate hikes. (ECB). S&P Global reported a Composite PMI of 53.7 on Wednesday, which was higher than the previous release of 52.0 but below expectations of 54.1, the highest level in the past ten months.

 

According to Reuters, S&P Global issued the following statement: "Manufacturing production increased slightly, but the service sector had the greatest impact on March's accelerated growth."

 

Wednesday, ECB policymaker Boris Vuji stated regarding interest rate forecasts, "The majority of the rate-hiking cycle has passed." He added, "We may require additional rate increases to address core inflation."
