TSMC: Sales revenue for the first six months of this year reached NT$2.4 trillion, a year-on-year increase of 35.6%.July 13th - According to South Korean media reports, industry insiders revealed on Monday that Samsung Electronics has begun preparations for the production of Teslas (TSLA.O) next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) chip, the AI5. Previously, a Samsung executive posted on LinkedIn that Teslas AI5 chip had completed the tape-out process, meaning that the final design work before mass production has been completed. The AI5 is a chip developed by Tesla to provide computing power for its Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, the Optimus humanoid robot, and AI data centers.South Korean President Lee Jae-myung: He will guide the government to support three key projects: semiconductors, artificial intelligence data centers, and physical artificial intelligence.July 13 – Europe has been maintaining air transport by importing jet fuel from the US and Asia, increasing refinery output, and drawing on reserves, but the risk of further supply disruptions has increased as tensions in the Middle East escalate again. The UK, France, and Germany are particularly vulnerable. Data released by consultancy Energy Aspects on June 18 shows that Europes jet fuel supply deficit in the third quarter is expected to approach 600,000 barrels per day, while the US and Asia-Pacific regions have supply surpluses of 116,000 barrels per day and 425,000 barrels per day, respectively. Energy Aspects stated that European jet fuel inventories stood at 38 million barrels at the beginning of June. Reuters calculations show that European inventories could only meet less than 30 days of demand, making it the tightest supply region among the worlds major jet fuel markets. Data from the International Energy Agencys latest monthly report shows that as of the end of May, jet fuel inventories were estimated to have increased by 10% year-on-year, while refinery output increased by 30%. This also means that Europe has only about a months buffer time. Energy analyst Janiv Shah said, "Based on current developments, we expect the market tightness to continue into August."On July 13th, Zhengzhou rapeseed meal futures opened lower and then fluctuated downwards. Canadian canola futures surged, with the benchmark contract closing more than 5% higher, mainly reflecting the threat to canola crop growth posed by recent excessive rainfall on the grasslands and the heatwave in the EU. Strengthening Chicago soybean and soybean oil futures, along with a rebound in international crude oil futures, also provided support. Rapeseed meal spot prices followed the market decline slightly. On the demand side, demand was affected by heavy rainfall in South China, hindering the circulation of domestic rapeseed meal spot goods. Some crushing plants shut down, resulting in reduced rapeseed meal production and a slight decrease in inventory. In the short term, rapeseed meal prices are expected to continue their volatile adjustment.

The AUD/JPY pair attempts to reclaim the critical resistance level of 89.00 during the Asian session. Kazuo Ueda, the governor of the Bank of Japan (BoJ), has advocated for an extension of the already decade-long ultra-loose monetary policy in order to consistently achieve an inflation rate above 2%.

 

The decelerating Producer Price Index (PPI) contradicts the optimistic outlook of the Japanese government regarding wage growth. As expected by market participants, the March PPI did not change. The annual PPI came in at 7.2%, which was higher than the consensus estimate of 7.1% but lower than the previous release of 8.1%. The inability of companies to sustain accelerating production rates at factory gates is indicative of weak household demand.

 

Analysts at Commerzbank anticipate that the Japanese Yen will only appreciate over the long term if the current monetary policy is abandoned quickly.

 

Regarding the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) Yield Curve Control (YCC), the IMF has stated that allowing more flexibility in YCC could have repercussions for global markets, but it could also prevent future policy shifts that could result in significant spillovers.

 

Investors are awaiting the March Employment Report for fresh impetus in the Australian Dollar. The market expects the Australian economy to add 20,000 employment, which is less than the previous estimate of 64.6K. While the Unemployment Rate is expected to rise to 3.6% from 3.5% in February, it is anticipated that the Unemployment Rate will increase to 3.6%.

 

Governor Philip Lowe of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has left the door open for additional rate hikes if Australian inflation persists, so the publication of stronger-than-expected employment gains could reignite fears of additional rate hikes.
