According to statistics, around 69% of S&P 500 businesses exceeded profits per share projections for the third quarter, while 71% exceeded revenue estimates. 

Those figures are still lower than the 5-year and 10-year averages for S&P 500 corporations, but they are far from symptomatic of an economic disaster.

RBA Governor Lowe’s Speech

In the early Asian session, the AUD/JPY pair is trading sideways as investors await a speech from Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Governor Philip Lowe before making an informed judgment. The risk profile’s mixed responses are also putting risk-sensitive assets on the sidelines.

The RBA Governor’s speech will shape future monetary policy action. Inflationary pressures are at an all-time high, driven by considerable price increases from service suppliers. In each monetary policy, the RBA raises its Official Cash Rate (OCR). 

Canada Retail Sales (MoM)

The dollar’s recovery has paused again, as risk markets appear to have stabilized. Overall, the Swiss franc is the second strongest currency this week, trailing only the US dollar. The yen is the weakest performer, followed by the Australian and New Zealand dollars. 

The Euro and the Pound are mixed, with the Pound holding the upper hand. While numerous central bankers will speak, Canadian retail sales will be a highlight of the day. Hopefully, more decisive market actions will occur. 

Japan Core CPI y/y

Later today, Japan will publish BoJ Core CPI, the favored inflation gauge of the Bank of Japan. As inflation keeps rising, the indicator has accelerated for eight months running. The National Core CPI increased from 3.0% to 3.6% last week. 

It is doubtful that the BoJ will alter its policies in response to a higher-than-expected reading. Inflation is only a short-term problem, according to Governor Kuroda, and it should peak at roughly 3%.

USD/JPY Technical

The yen has fallen 20% versus the dollar this year as a result of the bank’s unyielding position, which has limited interest rates on Japanese government bonds. The government has responded with significant currency interventions rather than raising interest rates to halt the yen’s slide.

Such unilateral actions are unlikely to have a lasting impact given that the Fed is still hiking rates aggressively and that the US/Japan rate differential is only increasing.
