[Japan's Core CPI Slows to 2% in January, Lowest in Two Years] Data released by Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications on Friday showed that Japan's core consumer price index (CPI) rose 2.0% year-on-year in January, a significant slowdown from the previous month's 2.4%, marking the lowest growth rate in two years. This is the first time since April 2022 that Japan's inflation has failed to reach or exceed the 2% target, providing the Bank of Japan with more breathing room for its next policy action. Although central bank officials expect food price inflation to ease, a weaker yen could still push up import costs. Furthermore, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's plan to suspend the food and beverage consumption tax for two years could further complicate the inflation outlook: while tax cuts may lower prices in the short term, they could also stimulate consumption, leading to an overheated economy and ultimately exacerbating inflationary pressures.

[Former Goldman Sachs Strategist: Strong Non-Farm Payrolls Will No Longer Support the Dollar; Institutional Shift Has Arrived] Former Goldman Sachs strategist Robin Brooks recently pointed out that the decade-long trend of the dollar rising based on strong non-farm payroll data is coming to an end, and the market's trading logic has undergone an "institutional shift." He stated that under the expectation of a Fed rate cut and potential nominal yield control policies, better-than-expected employment data may actually lower real yields, weaken the attractiveness of US assets, and thus lead to a weaker dollar. Brooks believes that the market is skeptical of Trump's erratic policies and his continued pressure on the Fed, and the overall policy direction points to lowering interest rates, which is the core of the market's subconscious trading. As evidence of this new logic, the better-than-expected January non-farm payroll report released on February 11 not only failed to boost the dollar but had the opposite effect.

[Meta Cuts Employee Stock Option Incentives for Second Consecutive Year, Fully Investing in AI Arms Race] 1. According to the Financial Times, Meta has cut stock option incentives for most of its employees for the second consecutive year, reducing annual stock option allocations for tens of thousands of employees by about 5% this year, following a reduction of about 10% last year. Meanwhile, CEO Mark Zuckerberg is investing billions of dollars in recruiting top AI talent and building data centers. 2. Meta expects capital expenditures to reach as high as $130 billion by 2026, while attracting top AI talent from competitors with compensation packages worth tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars. To appease investors who still have doubts about the return on AI investments, Zuckerberg is seeking to cut costs in other areas. 3. In January of this year, Meta cut about 1,500 jobs in its loss-making Metaverse division to optimize capital allocation. This move shows that while the company is shifting its strategic focus entirely to the AI race, it is also improving capital efficiency through internal restructuring.

[Venezuela Pilots Fuel Price Hike, Seeking New Revenue Streams Amid Oil Sector Opening] 1. Venezuela has begun piloting fuel price increases at some gas stations in Caracas, introducing premium gasoline priced at approximately twice the cost of regular gasoline. The initial rollout includes 10 gas stations selling 97-octane gasoline solely in US dollars. 2. This move aims to create new revenue streams for the government, aligning with its overall strategy of reopening the oil industry to foreign investment and increasing production. This is also a significant adjustment made by Venezuela against the backdrop of the US reshaping its energy policy and pushing for industry transformation. 3. Sources familiar with the matter revealed that the pilot program reflects the government's efforts to gradually adjust its long-standing, heavily subsidized domestic energy pricing mechanism while attracting foreign partners.

[Trump Announces Victory on Affordability, Attempts to Reverse Pressure on Economic Issues] 1.

The issue of finances has become a key issue in the November congressional elections, with households continuing to be impacted by rising food, energy, and housing costs. Polls show rising voter dissatisfaction with Trump's economic policies, potentially jeopardizing Republican control of both houses of Congress and the advancement of the president's legislative agenda. 3. This statement marks a shift in Trump's approach on economic issues from a reactive to an active narrative, attempting to reshape voters' perceptions of the economic situation before the midterm elections.

Federal Reserve Bank of Canada President Tom Daly pointed out that commodity inflation is expected to decline once tariffs are removed.

Federal Reserve Chairwoman Daly stated that her focus is more on fulfilling her duties to achieve her goals than on defending the Fed's independence. The U.S. economy can withstand a potential market correction caused by investors reassessing overvalued technology and AI-related stocks. The Fed Chair chairs policy-making meetings but is not the sole decision-maker; there is a real need for AI capital spending, not just wishful thinking. Successful Fed Chairs are curious; the position is not a power role but an intellectual one. How quickly AI will lead to productivity gains remains an open question.
