Bank of Japan Deputy Governor Shinichi Himino stated on Monday that the central bank is expected to gradually shift towards a more neutral monetary policy stance through continued interest rate hikes. He pointed out that previous rate hikes have had a limited impact on the Japanese economy, and although the core inflation rate is steadily rising, it is still too early to assert that the 2% target has been achieved. Himino noted that the current inflation gap is slightly negative, but it may approach zero in the future, indicating that policy remains somewhat accommodative but will gradually turn neutral. He did not comment on the pace or timing of rate hikes, emphasizing that decisions must be based on a comprehensive assessment of data. The market currently widely expects that the Bank of Japan may raise rates from the current 0.5% to 0.75% as early as March or April. Analysts have pointed out that the US-Iran crisis could push up crude oil prices, intensifying inflationary pressures and adding to the Bank of Japan's policy challenges. Himino also stated that it is crucial to closely monitor market trends, but the central bank should not overreact to market volatility and should instead earn market trust through prudent policies.

Samsung Electronics is about to face a critical test. The company will release its preliminary results on Thursday, and it is expected to record its largest-ever quarterly operating profit. However, the real test is not the scale of profits, but whether it can convince investors that the demand for memory chips is sustainable and that high product prices can be secured through long-term contracts.

BUZZ - Australian uranium mining stocks surge after Google reaches power deal with Constellation Energy

October 7 - Shares of Australian uranium mining companies surged after Google (GOOGL.O) signed a power agreement with Constellation Energy (CEG.O), the largest nuclear power plant operator in the United States (link). Google (GOOGL) and Constellation Energy (CEG) have entered into a multi-year deal under which Google will purchase 3,590 megawatts of electricity from Constellation; according to both parties, the additional nuclear-generated electricity accounts for roughly a quarter of total supplied power.

Boss Energy (BOE.AX) shares rose 9%, reaching their highest level since September 29, while Paladin Energy (PDN.AX) shares climbed over 6%. Deep Yellow (DYL.AX) shares rose nearly 10%, marking their largest intraday gain since September 3. Within the broadly flat ASX200 benchmark index (.AXJO), DYL and PDN ranked among the top gainers.
