On April 30th, a research report from CICC stated that the Federal Reserve maintained interest rates unchanged at its April meeting, in line with market expectations. However, four officials voted against the inclusion of dovish language, three of whom opposed it, indicating a more cautious monetary policy stance. The high oil prices triggered by the US-Iran conflict, combined with the effects of previous tariffs, have complicated the inflationary environment. Supply shocks have shifted from occasional events to the new normal, meaning that the scope for policy easing is compressed, and the threshold for interest rate cuts will rise. This meeting was also Powells last at the helm of the Fed. Although his successor, Warsh, signaled a move towards "balance sheet reduction and interest rate cuts," the committees collective decision-making mechanism makes it difficult to push for rate cuts in the short term. We believe the likelihood of a Fed rate hike this year is low, but the path to rate cuts will be longer, with the next rate cut potentially postponed until the fourth quarter.Samsung Electronics: Investment in artificial intelligence infrastructure is expected to expand in the second quarter.Japans retail sales in March totaled 14.306 trillion yen, compared with 12.155 trillion yen in the previous month.April 30th - According to a document from the U.S. Court of International Trade, the first batch of refunds for tariffs imposed by the Trump administration under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) on imported goods will be issued around May 11th.

Panasonic (OTC:PCRFY) Holdings Corp, which manufactures batteries for Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and other automakers, stated on Wednesday that it anticipates a recovery in global vehicle production this fiscal year, but that the two-year semiconductor shortage will persist.


Masashi Nagayasu, CEO of the Japanese conglomerate's automotive business, which manufactures in-car infotainment systems and other auto components, stated, "We will operate our business in consideration of the risks of fluctuations in vehicle manufacturing."


Nagayasu stated on the first day of Panasonic's annual investor event that the company has no plans to produce automobiles.


Panasonic, whose automotive division accounts for approximately 14 percent of its entire revenue, anticipates a 19 percent increase in sales for the fiscal year ending in March 2023. It anticipates an operational profit increase of roughly 17 percent.


Due to component shortages caused by COVID-19 lockdowns in China and higher commodity prices as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the company stated last month that it did not anticipate a profit increase for this fiscal year.


(This item corrects the firm name in paragraph 1 to Panasonic Holdings Corp from Panasonic Corp, and the sales growth forecast in paragraph 4 to 19 percent from 10 percent, and the operating profit forecast to nearly 17 percent from 15 percent decline.)
