1. Pan Gongsheng: Asian countries should cooperate to promote the IMF quotas reform

At the sub-forum on deepening Asian financial cooperation at the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2024 held this morning, Pan Gongsheng, governor of the People's Bank of China, expressed several views on strengthening financial security in Asia. He said that the IMF is an international financial institution based on quotas, and the amount of the quota determines the IMF's crisis relief capacity, and the proportion determines the voting rights of member countries and the scale of access to financing. The adjustment of the share is crucial to the governance representativeness and legitimacy of the IMF. Pan Gongsheng said that all parties will increase their capital in equal proportions to further enhance the IMF's crisis relief capacity. He believes that Asian countries should cooperate to promote the IMF's quota reform and realize the adjustment of quota as soon as possible.

2. The dollar rose to its highest level against the yen since 1990

The dollar rose to its highest level against the yen in about 34 years, and the huge yield gap between Japan and the US is expected to persist despite the end of the Bank of Japan's negative interest rate policy. The depreciation of the yen also raises the risk that the Japanese authorities will intervene in the market in support of the yen. USD/JPY continued to rise during the day, rising to its highest level since 1990, touching 151.97 at one point and now trading at 151.917.

3. Standard & Poor's: U.S. regional banks face challenges from commercial real estate and downgrade the outlook of many banks

S&P Global Ratings said that the asset quality and performance of some regional banks in the United States could be affected by the stress in the commercial real estate market, and downgraded the outlook of five banks to negative from stable. The increasing number of revised loans and loan maturities may signal a decline in asset quality and performance. S&P lowered its outlook for First Commonwealth Financial Corp., M&T Bank Corp., Synovus Financial Corp., Trustmark Corp. and Valley National Bancorp, which have the highest exposure to commercial real estate loans among S&P rated banks. If the Fed starts cutting interest rates, it could ease some of the accumulated pressure on the commercial real estate sector.

4. The United States has sanctioned a number of entities and individuals related to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Houthi rebels
