Japan's central bank has decreased its holdings of government bonds, according to the latest financial circulation statistics. As of the end of December last year, the proportion of Japanese government bonds held by the central bank fell to 43.1% from 44.2% at the end of September. According to Jin10, this decline reflects a reduction in the central bank's bond-buying operations and a decrease in market value due to soaring bond yields. Tsuyoshi Ueno, an economist at NLI Research Institute, noted that although the Bank of Japan still holds nearly half of the outstanding long-term government bonds and remains a dominant market force, its influence is gradually waning.

Aptus Capital Advisors 固定收益主管约翰·泰纳表示，美联储会议无疑将在一定程度上被中东冲突和油价上涨的阴影笼罩，但此次会议可能决定市场的下一步走向。虽然降息已不在考虑范围内，但市场将关注点阵图、美联储官员相对于预测中值的分歧情况，以及鲍威尔新闻发布会中关于是否有意忽略大宗商品供应冲击导致的物价上涨的任何措辞暗示。油价飙升后，市场已经取消了今年早些时候定价的两次降息预期，但如果冲突很快结束，这些降息预期将迅速被重新定价。(金十)

Aptus Capital Advisors' Head of Fixed Income, John Tiner, has indicated that the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting will likely be influenced by the ongoing Middle East conflict and the surge in oil prices. According to Jin10, while a rate cut is not currently on the table, the market will focus on the dot plot, the divergence among Federal Reserve officials relative to the median forecast, and any hints from Chair Jerome Powell's press conference regarding the potential disregard of price increases caused by commodity supply shocks. Following the spike in oil prices, the market has already dismissed the two rate cuts that were priced in earlier this year. However, if the conflict ends swiftly, these rate cut expectations could be quickly repriced.

A market indicator has raised the likelihood of a U.S. recession within the next 12 months to 48.6%, marking an increase of 15 percentage points over the past six months. According to NS3.AI, the primary factors contributing to this heightened risk are escalating oil prices and a softening job market. These economic conditions are prompting concerns about the potential for a downturn.

Despite the ongoing conflict between the U.S. and Iran entering its third week, the energy market and transportation in the Middle East have been disrupted. According to PANews, UAE-based crypto companies have demonstrated resilience due to their cloud-based and virtual market operations. Laia Fernández, a crypto marketing executive in Dubai, noted that daily life has not significantly changed. Businesses continue to operate on cloud infrastructure and virtual market platforms, allowing them to remain unaffected even as many employees work from home or temporarily relocate abroad. Alex Scott, a crypto executive promoting the Solana blockchain in Dubai, mentioned that the conflict has accelerated discussions on the resilience of financial infrastructure, maintaining the UAE's appeal for crypto and blockchain. Thomas Puech, CEO of crypto trading firm INDIGO, stated that there are no signs of capital outflows related to an exodus from the UAE.

Norwegian Offshore Authority has announced that Statoil, along with its partners, has discovered oil in the 'POLYNYA TUBAEN' exploration target area. According to Jin10, the newly found oil reserves are estimated to hold between 14 million and 24 million barrels of crude oil. This discovery marks a significant development in Norway's offshore oil exploration efforts, potentially boosting the country's energy resources and economic prospects. The discovery could lead to increased activity in the region as companies assess the viability of extracting these reserves.

U.S. Senator Tim Scott has expressed optimism about reaching a compromise on a stablecoin yield payments provision that has delayed progress on a crypto market structure bill in the Senate. According to Cointelegraph, Scott, who chairs the Senate Banking Committee, indicated at a crypto lobby event in Washington, D.C., that he expects to receive the first proposal for review this week. He noted that if the proposal arrives as anticipated, it could significantly advance the bill's progress. The Senate aims to move forward with its version of the crypto market structure bill, which seeks to establish regulatory approaches to cryptocurrency following the House's passage of the CLARITY Act in July. However, negotiations between banking and crypto lobbyists have stalled the Senate's bill, particularly over a provision that would prohibit third parties from offering stablecoin yield payments. Banking groups argue that these yields, offered by platforms like crypto exchanges, exploit a loophole in the GENIUS Act, which banned yield payments from stablecoin issuers, potentially destabilizing the banking system through deposit flight. In contrast, crypto lobbyists have challenged these claims, accusing banks of anti-competitive practices. Scott acknowledged that while the stablecoin yield issue is the most prominent challenge, other significant matters are also under negotiation. These include provisions related to ethics, decentralized finance, and the delineation of entities subject to the rules. Despite the prominence of the rewards issue, Scott emphasized the importance of addressing these other outstanding issues. He highlighted the progress made over the past month, noting a growing momentum in favor of advancing the bill. The procedural rules require two Senate committees to oversee the crypto market structure legislation, as it involves both the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The Senate Banking Committee, responsible for the SEC, postponed a markup of the crypto bill indefinitely in January, while the Senate Agriculture Committee, overseeing the CFTC, advanced its markup to the Senate floor during the same period.
