On February 14, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister, attended the Munich Security Conference and delivered a speech and answered questions at the "China Session." When asked about Chinas role in resolving regional conflicts, particularly the Ukraine issue, Wang Yi stated that Chinas position is clear: all regional hotspots should seek political solutions through dialogue and consultation, and the same applies to the Ukraine issue. However, China is not a party to the conflict, and the decision-making power is not in Chinas hands. What we can do is to promote peace talks. We have dispatched special envoys to mediate and, through various channels, emphasized to all parties that a ceasefire should be implemented as soon as possible, and that everyone should return to the negotiating table.On February 14, 2026, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister, attended the Munich Security Conference, delivered a speech at the "China Session," and answered questions from the audience. Wang Yi emphasized that the erroneous remarks by Japanese leaders on the Taiwan issue exposed Japans undying ambition to invade and colonize Taiwan and the lingering specter of reviving militarism. Japan launched its invasion of China and attacked Pearl Harbor under the pretext of a so-called "crisis and existential crisis." The lessons of history are still fresh and must be heeded. If Japan does not repent, it will inevitably repeat the same mistakes. Good people should be vigilant. First and foremost, the Japanese people must be reminded not to be blinded and coerced by far-right forces and extremist ideologies again. All peace-loving countries should also warn Japan: if it chooses to go back to its old ways, it will only lead to its own destruction.Joint statement from the UK, Switzerland, France, Germany, and the Netherlands: We and our partners will use all policy tools at our disposal to continue to hold Russia accountable.Joint statement from the UK, Switzerland, France, Germany, and the Netherlands: We further express our concern that Russia has not destroyed all of its chemical weapons.The United Kingdom, Sweden, France, Germany, and the Netherlands issued a joint statement regarding the death of Alexei Navalny.

With BOJ intervention a possibility and US PMI in focus, USD/JPY is pushing toward 141.00

The US dollar/Japanese yen exchange rate stands between 142.27 and 142.58 during the Tokyo trading session. Having dropped to a low of less than 141.00, the asset has since reversed course. The major is likely to re-test the 141.00 support level due to the possibility of increased intervention by the Bank of Japan (BOJ) in currency markets to bolster the yen.

 

Due to the BOJ's intention to engage in the currency markets for the first time since 1998, the USD/JPY pair dropped significantly below 141.00. The BOJ has significant tools to maintain support for the yen as the world's second-largest foreign exchange reserve. Since the current price does not reflect the yen's true value, the Bank of Japan decided to step in to prevent further depreciation.

 

After the BOJ made its monetary policy pronouncement, it began intervening in the currency market. To no one's surprise, Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda stayed dovish on interest rates and said that the aggressive approach taken by the Federal Reserve (Fed) will have minimal impact on Japan's economy. He also said that the Japanese economy, which is still recuperating from the consequences of the Covid-19 outbreak, needs more policy easing.

 

Investors are waiting for volatility to diminish after the Fed's extraordinary hawkish attitude, keeping the US dollar index (DXY) stable around 111.30. On Thursday, after the DXY hit a fresh 20-year high of 111.81, sellers emerged and smashed the prevailing bullish pattern.

 

In the future, the S&P Global PMI data will be crucial. It is expected that the Manufacturing PMI would drop to 51.1 from 51.5 in the previous report. The Services PMI will go up to 45.0 from 43.7.
