Asian markets closed mostly in green on Tuesday, while Indonesia stock exchange was closed on account of ‘National Leave’ holiday. The Bank of Japan board was largely in agreement that prices will rise in the longer term, according to minutes of the June monetary policy meeting released, though one member stated that it would show up moderately in consumer inflation. However, other members notified that the impact of the quantitative easing to buy 80 trillion yen of mostly government bonds annually has had a big impact on the economy and higher prices are spreading and are also driven by higher wages. Board member Takahide Kiuchi has been the lone dissenter in recent reviews by the nine-member board, calling for the easing program to be scaled back to 45 trillion yen. Foreign investment into China rose 8% in the first half of this year as mergers and acquisitions by overseas companies more than quadrupled in value. Foreign direct investment (FDI), which excludes financial sectors, totaled $68.41 billion during the January-June period. Thailand Governor Prasarn Triratvorakul stated that the Bank of Thailand has no target for the Thai baht but is pleased to see that it has weakened since April and is moving more in line with regional currencies. Thailand’s interest rates are near a record low after two surprise cuts this year. But lower rates have done little for the Thai economy as consumers, struggling to pay off record household debt, keep their money in their pockets.
