S&P Global Ratings: Capital rules will put uneven pressure on South Korean insurance companies.January 22 – As Japan prepares for next months snap election, Munehito Kamiya, leader of a newly emerging minority party, stated that the Bank of Japans (BOJ) interest rate hikes may be too rapid and could harm the economy. He said the partys priority is to revitalize the economy through tax cuts, particularly the consumption tax, and loose fiscal policy. Kamiya said the BOJ should proceed cautiously with interest rate hikes given the still fragile economy. "I think the pace of interest rate hikes is a bit too fast," Kamiya said, warning that raising borrowing costs too early could harm the economy and small businesses. "Im not against the BOJs policy direction; the problem is the speed." Kamiya stated, "The division of power between the government and the central bank is quite important. On the other hand, in Japan, fiscal and monetary policies havent reached the level of cooperation they should." "Overemphasizing the BOJs independence could have a negative impact on the economy," he added.Reports indicate that Google will outsource the assembly of its TPU servers L10-L11 stages to Inventec.The yield on Japans 30-year government bonds fell 10 basis points to 3.62%.On January 22, it was reported that on January 21, local time, the Federal Court of Canada ruled to suspend the Canadian governments previous order requiring TikTok to shut down its Canadian operations, remanding the case to Canadian Industry Minister Mélanie Joly for review.

NZD/USD falls rapidly from 0.6260 when the RBNZ announces a decline in inflation projections to 3.07 percent

The NZD/USD pair has encountered selling pressure while attempting to surpass the immediate resistance level of 0.6260. The asset has seen bids after the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) announced inflation estimates at 3.07 percent, down from 3.29 percent previously. It could be an indication of waning price pressure, but additional evidence is still needed to support the argument.

 

Price pressures in the New Zealand economy are increasing and have not yet shown signs of weariness. A June report indicates that an inflation rate of 7.3% is adequate to generate headwinds for families. The RBNZ is consistently escalating its policy tightening measures to combat the same. RBNZ Governor Adrian Orr has already increased the Official Cash Rate by 2.50 percentage points.

 

On the front of the US dollar, the US dollar index (DXY) has returned all intraday gains and is currently trading near the day's open at 106.60. While attempting to break over the crucial resistance level of 106.80, the DXY has encountered selling pressure. This week, investors' attention is centered on Wednesday's release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI).

 

The annual inflation rate is projected to continue at 8.7 percent, down from 9.1 percent in the previous report. Oil prices have been on a downward trend in July, which may be the determining factor for a significant decline in the price increase index. While the US CPI excluding volatile food and oil prices may increase from 5.9 percent to 6.1 percent, the previous reading was 5.9 percent.
