In September, Japan posted a higher current account surplus of JPY2.72 Trillion (JPY2.14 Trillion in August). This was the highest surplus since March 2022. It is well known that the Japanese current account surplus does not depend on trade balance. Afterall, Japan is experiencing a trade deficit. Last year, the average monthly trade deficit reached JPY1.3 trillion. This year, the average monthly trade deficit has been around JPY 625 billion. 

Yesterday, the yen hit a five-day low, despite a softer yield on US 10-year bonds, which fell below 4.50%. The dollar recovered 61.8% of its three-day fall that started the month by regaining JPY151. In the morning of European time, it extended marginally yesterday's gains to nearly JPY151.20.

Five economic think tanks who advise the German government have delivered some more sobering information. Yesterday, they slashed their GDP forecast for this year to 0.4% (from 0.2% in March) and almost halved their forecast for next year to 0.7%. Germany's CPI national measure (as opposed the EU harmonized metric), has averaged 6.5% since October.

There is a buzz about the thawing of US-Chinese ties. US Treasury Secretary Yellen is scheduled to meet China's Vice-Premier He. This week, US and Chinese officials held "constructive nuclear talks" with the US. Kerry, the special presidential envoy for climate change, is rumored to meet with his Chinese counterpart at the COP28 conference in Dubai starting end of the month. Biden and Xi could meet next week in San Francisco at the APEC Summit (though Beijing has not confirmed this).
