[Federal Reserve Hawkish Voices Rise, Challenging Warsh's AI-Driven Inflation Judgment] (1) Several Federal Reserve officials (such as Mussalaim and Cook) have stated that if inflation fails to ease in the short term, it may be necessary to raise interest rates. The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index rose 3.8% year-on-year in April, mainly driven by energy prices. (2) Hawkish voices within the Federal Reserve are growing, foreshadowing a heated debate at Chairman Warsh's first policy meeting next month. Warsh once believed that artificial intelligence would help suppress inflation and thus supported interest rate cuts; however, with current high energy prices, the market has begun to bet on a possible interest rate hike. (3) Mussalaim, Cook, and Goolsby, among others, question whether AI can curb inflation, instead pointing out that AI-related investments (such as chips and data centers) may lead to new inflationary shocks. Goolsby further believes that optimistic expectations of AI improving productivity may stimulate consumers to spend in advance, leading to an overheated economy and forcing the central bank to raise interest rates.

[Tokyo's core inflation falls to a four-year low, putting the Bank of Japan in a dilemma] (1) Data from Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications in May showed that Tokyo's core CPI, excluding fresh food, rose 1.3% year-on-year, falling for the sixth consecutive month to a near four-year low and below market expectations. This situation has put the Bank of Japan's policymakers in a dilemma, as they have difficulty finding sufficient justification for raising interest rates as early as next month. (2) The "core core CPI" (a more objective indicator of potential inflation), excluding fresh food and energy, rose 1.6% year-on-year; the overall CPI rose 1.4% year-on-year. Tokyo's price data is considered a leading indicator of inflation trends across Japan. (3) The decline in inflation was mainly due to the narrowing of the price increase of processed food, a significant reduction in water rates, and the continued decline in energy prices caused by the gasoline subsidy introduced by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi. Takaichi plans to submit a supplementary budget to the Diet soon to continue the subsidy measure.

[Trump Portrait Commemorative Banknote Design Completed, Awaits Congressional Approval] U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessant stated on the 28th that the Treasury Department is ready to issue a $250 commemorative banknote featuring President Trump's portrait, including completing the banknote design. However, the final issuance of the banknote depends on congressional authorization. Answering reporters' questions at the White House, Bessant said that current U.S. law prohibits printing the portraits of living individuals on currency, therefore a bill needs to be passed by the House of Representatives to amend this regulation "so that living people, such as Trump, can appear on the $250 banknote." He said, "It all depends on Congress," but the Treasury Department must be prepared in advance; "We have already designed this banknote." (Xinhua)

[Tokyo Inflation Below Target, Interest Rate Hike Expectations Rise] (1) Thanks to government energy subsidies to alleviate oil price increases caused by the Middle East conflict, consumer inflation in the Tokyo area remains below the Bank of Japan's 2% target. (2) Government data for May showed that consumer prices in Tokyo, excluding fresh food, rose 1.3% year-on-year. (3) This increase was lower than the 1.5% in April and also lower than economists' expectations of 1.5%. Tokyo inflation data is considered a leading indicator of national trends in Japan. (4) Although government measures have temporarily curbed inflation, policymakers are concerned that rising oil prices could push up Japan's underlying inflation level. (5) As years of inflationary pressures have made companies accustomed to raising prices, Japanese companies may begin to pass on higher costs to consumers. (6) Some economists expect the Bank of Japan to raise the policy rate from the current 0.75% to 1.0% at its next meeting in June.

We should not wait for the quarterly CPI data release to act; a more forward-looking approach is needed. Based on high-frequency data from the July decision, we are inclined to see a rate hike at the next meeting.

[RBNZ Assistant Governor: Larger Rate Hike to Be Considered if Second Round of Inflation Effect Emerges] 1. RBNZ Assistant Governor Christian Silk stated that the central bank has not yet observed clear signs of medium-term inflationary pressures, but is prepared to take aggressive measures should they emerge. 2. "There is no early evidence that this will necessarily develop into a very strong second round of effects," Silk noted in an interview in Wellington on Friday. "Therefore, the core question is: when do you start raising rates? And to what extent can weak economic growth suppress medium-term inflationary pressures?" 3. Silk stated that all policy options are under consideration, including a more aggressive 50-basis-point rate hike. "If the data changes and indicates that a second round of effects is indeed emerging, and things will be much worse, then you always retain that option." 4. She added that conversely, if the data supports maintaining the status quo, it is also feasible to remain on hold.
