                     •   Oil price in the U.S. fluctuated below $100/barrel. Concerns about Japan’s delays in production
                         and growth outlook dampened oil price outlook while the heightened risks in the Middle East is
                         making market nervous about oil price surge
                     •   Eurozone inflation rate rose to 2.4% while U.S. producer price inflation quickened to 5.6%

                    •    USD/JPY slumped past historical low of 79.75 in 1995 to 76.35 intraday on the back of global
                         risk aversion and Japanese repatriation of investment funds
                    •    USD/THB remained near 30.40 on the back of short-term unwinding of banks’ long-position in
                         USD/THB. The baht may weaken today in line with other regional currencies such as the TWD,
                         MYR and SGD for the near term

                      Economic News Update
    Noda Says Markets Are Nervous, Bank of
    Japan Injects Liquidity: Japan’s Finance Minister
    Yoshihiko Noda said that markets are nervous as the yen
    reached its strongest level in the postwar era, while the
    central bank pumped 5 trillion yen ($63 billion) into money
    markets.

    Noda declined to comment on whether the ministry would
    order the Bank of Japan to intervene in the foreign-
    exchange markets, after the yen climbed as high as 76.36
    per dollar. The currency rose amid speculation Japanese
    investors will repatriate assets as the costs of the March 11
    earthquake and tsunami escalate. The Nikkei 225 Stock
    Average slid 4 percent as of 9:45 a.m.

    Policy makers have so far focused on offering intraday
    cash to banks, with the central bank limiting its additional
    monetary stimulus three days ago to 5 trillion yen, an
    amount about one- tenth the size of the U.S. Federal
    Reserve’s quantitative easing. A government official
    speaking on condition of anonymity said that local
    institutional investors have abundant yen, and that
    repatriation wasn’t significant after the 1995 Kobe
    earthquake.

    “With Japan facing a difficult situation, the yen’s rapid
    advance could damp its economy further, which is not good
    for the global economy,” said Masafumi Yamamoto, chief
    currency strategist at Barclays Bank Plc in Tokyo, saying
    it’s possible the Group of Seven could mount joint
    intervention to sell yen.

    Japan’s currency was at 79.35 per dollar as of 9:55 a.m. in
    Tokyo, retreating from the high reached earlier today. The
    rout in the equity market has brought the Nikkei 255’s
    losses to 16 percent since the magnitude-9 earthquake and
    ensuing tsunami devastated northeast Japan and crippled
    the cooling systems at a nuclear power plant.

    The government is still struggling to get the Fukushima
    Dai-Ichi nuclear facility under control, with helicopters
    dropping water on the plant in an effort to prevent a
    meltdown.

    A stronger exchange rate threatens to add an additional
    burden to a Japanese economy that will already suffer from
    the damage wrought by the most powerful temblor to strike
    the nation. Companies from Toyota Motor Co. to Sony
    Corp. shut down factories in the aftermath, and gains in the
    yen would erode their export earnings.

    Japan’s exporters said they can remain profitable as long
    as the yen trades at 86.30 per dollar or weaker, compared
    with the previous year’s breakeven point at 92.90, the
    Cabinet Office said in an annual survey released on March
    11. (Source: Bloomberg)

  • 5. KBank Daily Update Mar 17, 2011 Economic News Update Noda Says Markets Are Nervous, Bank of Japan Injects Liquidity: Japan’s Finance Minister Yoshihiko Noda said that markets are nervous as the yen reached its strongest level in the postwar era, while the central bank pumped 5 trillion yen ($63 billion) into money markets. Noda declined to comment on whether the ministry would order the Bank of Japan to intervene in the foreign- exchange markets, after the yen climbed as high as 76.36 per dollar. The currency rose amid speculation Japanese investors will repatriate assets as the costs of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami escalate. The Nikkei 225 Stock Average slid 4 percent as of 9:45 a.m. Policy makers have so far focused on offering intraday cash to banks, with the central bank limiting its additional monetary stimulus three days ago to 5 trillion yen, an amount about one- tenth the size of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s quantitative easing. A government official speaking on condition of anonymity said that local institutional investors have abundant yen, and that repatriation wasn’t significant after the 1995 Kobe earthquake. “With Japan facing a difficult situation, the yen’s rapid advance could damp its economy further, which is not good for the global economy,” said Masafumi Yamamoto, chief currency strategist at Barclays Bank Plc in Tokyo, saying it’s possible the Group of Seven could mount joint intervention to sell yen. Japan’s currency was at 79.35 per dollar as of 9:55 a.m. in Tokyo, retreating from the high reached earlier today. The rout in the equity market has brought the Nikkei 255’s losses to 16 percent since the magnitude-9 earthquake and ensuing tsunami devastated northeast Japan and crippled the cooling systems at a nuclear power plant. The government is still struggling to get the Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear facility under control, with helicopters dropping water on the plant in an effort to prevent a meltdown. A stronger exchange rate threatens to add an additional burden to a Japanese economy that will already suffer from the damage wrought by the most powerful temblor to strike the nation. Companies from Toyota Motor Co. to Sony Corp. shut down factories in the aftermath, and gains in the yen would erode their export earnings. Japan’s exporters said they can remain profitable as long as the yen trades at 86.30 per dollar or weaker, compared with the previous year’s breakeven point at 92.90, the Cabinet Office said in an annual survey released on March 11.
