    OIL PRICES FALL ON DEMAND CONCERNS



    Oil prices edged lower on Monday as climbing coronavirus cases and tighter restrictions in Europe and China fueled worries over a slower recovery in fuel demand.

    Encouraging GDP and industrial production data from China helped to limit the downside to some extent.

    Brent crude for March delivery eased 0.2 percent to $54.98 a barrel, after having fallen 2.3 percent on Friday. Similarly, U.S. oil futures were down 0.1 percent at $52.36 after falling more than 2 percent in the previous session.

    The total number of global coronavirus cases topped 95 million, while the death toll surpassed 2 million.

    China reported more than 100 new Covid-19 cases for the sixth consecutive day, while the number of hospitalized Covid-19 patients with serious symptoms in Japan topped 970, marking a record high since the onset of the pandemic in the country.

    Portugal imposed a new nationwide lockdown while the U.K. government announced that it will close all travel corridors from today in order to restrict the spread of new coronavirus variant cases.

    New coronavirus infections have been decreasing in Germany but the country's health minister said that more needed to be done to bring it permanently under control.

    Chancellor Angela Merkel and Germany's 16 state premiers will discuss what to do next on Tuesday.

    AUSTRALIA CONSUMER CONFIDENCE INDEX SLIPS IN JANUARY - WESTPAC



    Consumer confidence in Australia took a hit in January, the latest survey from Westpac Bank revealed on Wednesday with a consumer confidence index score of 107.0.

    That's down from 112.0 in December, although it remains above the line of 100 that separates optimism from pessimism.

    The January reading represents a 4.5 percent monthly drop following the 4.1 percent increase in the previous month.

    An increase in the number of coronavirus cases is blamed for the decline, along with the resulting lockdown measures in various parts of the country.

    BOJ KEEPS POLICY UNCHANGED



    The Bank of Japan decided to leave its monetary policy unchanged on Thursday and raised the growth projections.

    The board voted 7-1 to retain the interest rate at -0.1 percent on current accounts that financial institutions maintain at the central bank.

    The bank will continue to purchase necessary amount of Japanese government bonds without setting an upper limit so that 10-year JGB yields will remain at around zero percent.

    Compared to October outlook, the projected growth rates were somewhat higher, mainly for fiscal 2021, reflecting the effects of the government's economic measures in particular. The projected rates of increase in the CPI were more or less unchanged.

    The bank lifted the fiscal 2021 GDP growth outlook to 3.9 percent from 3.6 percent. Likewise, the growth projection for the fiscal 2022 was raised to 1.8 percent from 1.6 percent.

    The BoJ expects consumer prices to rise 0.5 percent in the fiscal 2021 instead of 0.4 percent forecast in October. At the same time, inflation outlook for the fiscal 2022 was retained at 0.7 percent.

    The bank noted that risks to both economic activity and prices were skewed to the downside, mainly due to the impact of Covid-19.
