[Analysts Predict Continued Depreciation of the Indian Rupee Over the Next Year] Despite the optimistic outlook brought by the US-India trade agreement, analysts point out that the Indian rupee may continue to depreciate over the next year.

However, pressure from foreign capital outflows and the country's current account deficit continue to impact the rupee. Currently, several economists predict that the rupee will fall to around 94 against the US dollar this year.

[German Bond Yields at the Bottom, Is a Global Flow of Funds Seeking Safe Haven?] ⑴ Data released on Tuesday showed a significant divergence in yields on major global government bonds. For example, the 10-year yield on German government bonds was 2.758%, relatively low among major economies, only higher than Denmark (2.606%), Sweden (2.659%), and Japan (2.131%). ⑵ In contrast, yields on Australian, British, and US government bonds were high. The 10-year Australian government bond yield reached 4.698%, 194 basis points higher than Germany's; the 10-year UK yield was 4.402%, a spread of 164.5 basis points; and the 10-year US yield was 4.027%, 126.9 basis points lower than Germany's. ⑶ The divergence was equally evident in short-term bonds. The 2-year German government bond yield was 2.048%, while the 2-year Australian yield was as high as 4.173%, a spread of 212.5 basis points. The UK 2-year yield was 3.578%, 152.9 basis points higher than Germany's; the US 2-year yield was 3.395%, with a spread of 134.7 basis points. (4) Taking the US as a benchmark, its 2-year yield of 3.395% was lower than Australia's 4.173%, but significantly higher than economies such as Japan (1.233%) and Germany (2.048%). For 10-year bonds, the US yield of 4.027% was also lower than Australia and the UK, but still maintained a significant spread advantage relative to Germany, France, and Japan. (5) The current yield structure of the global government bond market reflects the differences in monetary policy expectations among different economies. The high yields in countries like Australia and the UK may attract inflows of funds chasing coupon payments; while the low-yield environment in countries like Germany and Japan indicates that their bonds still possess strong safe-haven characteristics, making them attractive to funds during periods of uncertainty.

Westpac: RBA Underestimates Currency Impact on Inflation, Imports Face Downside Risks. Westpac Chief Economist Luci Ellis stated that the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) policy meeting minutes significantly downplayed the role of currency appreciation in curbing inflation. She pointed out that while the recent appreciation of the Australian dollar largely reflects changes in the interest rate outlook and is expected to have a slight slowing effect on inflation, the sell-off in the US dollar is an independent factor that the RBA seems to have failed to adequately consider. Ellis believes that although this effect will not be immediately apparent, it does indicate some downside risks to import inflation.

[Japan's Bond Issuance May Increase by 28% Over Next Three Years, Prime Minister's "Tax Cuts Without Increased Debt" Vision Questioned] According to foreign media reports, Japan's Ministry of Finance forecasts that annual bond issuance may increase by 28% over the next three years due to rising debt financing costs. This trend has raised doubts about Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's proposal to "cut taxes without increasing debt." The forecast shows that by the fiscal year beginning in April 2029, Japan will need to issue as much as 38 trillion yen (approximately US$248.32 billion) in bonds to fill the revenue gap, higher than the 29.6 trillion yen in fiscal year 2026. Although tax revenue is expected to continue to grow, it will still be insufficient to cover the increased social welfare spending due to rapid aging, as well as the rising debt repayment costs caused by rising long-term interest rates. Data shows that debt servicing costs are expected to reach 40.3 trillion yen in fiscal year 2029, a significant increase from 31.3 trillion yen in fiscal year 2026, accounting for approximately 30% of total expenditures. This highlights the enormous pressure that rising bond yields are putting on Japan's finances.

Goldman Sachs: Global Economic Growth to Exceed Expectations, Predicts Rate Cuts in June and September Under Warsh's Leadership. Goldman Sachs Chief Economist Jan Hatzius stated in a report that global economic growth is expected to exceed consensus expectations, driven by the waning effects of tariffs, fiscal support, and accommodative financial conditions. He anticipates inflation in most economies will be closer to target levels, reflecting the weakening effects of tariffs and administrative pricing, as well as slower wage and rent growth. While Goldman Sachs acknowledges significant job losses in the tech sector in recent months, it does not foresee an AI-driven job market disaster. US economic indicators are encouraging, with the core consumer price index, adjusted for housing factors, reaching a post-pandemic low of 2.6% in January. Goldman Sachs expects the Federal Reserve to maintain interest rates for the remainder of current Chairman Powell's term, but anticipates 25 basis point rate cuts in June and September under a committee led by Fed Chair nominee Kevin Warsh.

[Zelensky Says More Attacks Make Agreements Harder] Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy posted on social media on the evening of the 16th that Russia is preparing a new large-scale attack on Ukrainian energy facilities. The more Russian actions there are, the more difficult it will be to reach an agreement with the other parties. Zelenskyy stated that intelligence indicates Russia is preparing further large-scale strikes against Ukrainian energy facilities, therefore it is essential to ensure the deployment of air defense systems. He also stated that Russia's attack methods are constantly "evolving," and Ukraine needs to take special defensive measures against such attacks and obtain the support of partner countries. Zelenskyy said that the demands previously raised by Ukraine in Munich, Germany, should be implemented as soon as possible. Any interference with or delay in the supply of air defense missiles will exacerbate the losses. He also urged partner countries to take action to force Russia to lay down its arms. (Xinhua)

[my country Achieves Another Breakthrough in Independently Developed Gene Editing Tools, Boosting Rice Breeding Efficiency by Over 4 Times] The Crop Precision Breeding Technology Innovation Team at the Institute of Crop Science, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, has recently achieved a significant breakthrough. Based on Cas12i3, a gene editing tool with independent intellectual property rights in my country, they have successfully developed a novel base editing system and used this system to create new herbicide-resistant rice germplasm. Cas12i3, as a gene editing tool independently developed in my country, has unique advantages over mainstream foreign tools, such as smaller size and wider applicability. However, adenine base editors based on Cas12i3 had not yet been successfully developed, and cytosine base editors had low editing efficiency in plants. This research team constructed five different versions of base editors and conducted a systematic evaluation. One architecture combining two specific functional units performed optimally, significantly improving the base editing efficiency of adenine and cytosine while expanding the base editing window. In stably inherited rice plants, the optimized base editing tool increased the original editing efficiency by 4.78 times and 3.35 times, respectively. Industry experts believe that this research provides important tools and technical support for crop gene function analysis and precise genetic improvement. The relevant research results have recently been published in the international academic journal *Acta Botanica Sinica*.
