Um so yeah, a bit bit of sort of um concern or or continued sort of voice-verified

tensions there between Ch China and Japan, but I don't think Japan's made a comment on um following that that announcement from China. voice-verified

But as you said, I think what's really got the attention, particularly of the Yen, is those news reports that you just mentioned around the meeting between voice-verified

Um Takeishi and Ueda that happened voice-verified

True, true. voice-verified

And so the the local newspaper is reporting that um Takishi was sort of raising her concerns around further further rate hikes. voice-verified

Um so I guess that's that's created a bit of uncertainty for the market because I think there was that hope or expectation that maybe she would um sort of ease off on her her pressure on the BOJ, but um that doesn't seem to be seem to be the case. voice-verified

So voice-verified

Yes, yes, you you're you're correct. voice-verified

But I th I think it's the yen that's sort of caught caught the eye of of investors overnight and it's sort of as you said at the start, sort of seen a bit of weakness in the yen on the back of that um newspaper report. voice-verified

Yeah, so a a pretty data light um session overnight, largely dominated by US data. voice-verified

But as you said, the confidence board index was out. voice-verified

Um and yeah, sort of surprisingly it showed quite a big, big rebound. voice-verified

Um, the the headline index rising from eighty-nine to ninety-one point two in in February. voice-verified

Uh, and this was really driven by strong gains in expectations. voice-verified

The index was voice-verified

Up 4.8 to 72.0. voice-verified

And so driving the improvement in the outlook was sort of better expectations on employment prospects, income expectations, and improvement in business conditions. voice-verified

I guess the employment prospects one, you know, this survey follows the latest payrolls report, which showed sort of an improvement in the unemployment rate. voice-verified

So maybe that was biased, bias there. voice-verified
