Japan wage growth strengthens case for further BoJ rate hikes

🇯🇵 Preliminary July data released by Japan’s MHLW on September 8 showed nominal wages rising 4.7% YoY, the fastest pace since 1997 and well above forecasts of around 3.8–3.9%.

💴 More importantly, regular pay increased 4.1%, the strongest growth since 1992, suggesting income gains are not being driven solely by summer bonuses. Real wages also rose 2.4%, the biggest increase since 2021 and the seventh consecutive month of growth.

📈 The figures strengthen the view that wage gains are becoming more embedded in regular incomes, supporting the case for further BoJ policy tightening in upcoming meetings.

⚖️ However, private consumption was flat in Q2, indicating that stronger incomes have yet to fully translate into domestic demand. The yen remains supported, while short-term JGB yields could face further upward pressure.

$RKLB – Liquidation Map (7 Days) – Current Price 64.9

🔎 The 7-day liquidation map shows roughly $3.0 million in long liquidations below the current price, slightly exceeding approximately $2.8–2.9 million in short liquidations above. The liquidity structure is therefore fairly balanced but still modestly tilted to the downside.

📉 Below the market, nearby long-liquidation liquidity remains relatively thin around 62.9–62.3 before increasing across 61.7–59.6. The strongest clusters sit near 59.9 with a bar close to $180,000 and around 61.0–61.1 with a bar near $170,000. Losing 62.9 would shift attention toward 61.7–61.0.

📈 Above the market, short-liquidation liquidity begins building around 65.7–66.3 and becomes much denser across 67.2–68.7. The strongest cluster sits near 67.4–67.5 with a liquidation bar around $200,000, while 68.6–68.7 also contains a bar around $140,000–145,000. Further out, liquidity remains present toward 70.5–70.8 but becomes thinner.

🧭 The broader setup modestly favors the downside because long-liquidation exposure below remains slightly larger. Losing 62.9 would increase the probability of a sweep toward 61.7–61.0, while breaking above 65.7 would shift attention toward 67.2–67.5 and then 68.6–68.7.

Houthis expand attacks on Saudi Arabia as Brent approaches $100 amid rising supply risks

🚨 Saudi Arabia confirmed attacks on Abha, Khamis Mushait, Jazan and Najran that injured 73 civilians, with no deaths reported so far. The latest wave occurred on the morning of September 8, following reports that Jazan was hit on September 7.

🔥 The Saudi Energy Ministry said fires broke out at several energy facilities and some operations were temporarily suspended, but it has not disclosed the amount of capacity affected or the expected recovery timeline.

🛢️ Brent briefly reached $99.22 a barrel, its highest level since July 24, while WTI traded around $94.4. The price reaction currently reflects a higher geopolitical risk premium, as the scale of actual supply disruption remains unclear.

⚠️ Markets will now focus on Saudi Arabia’s response and further updates from Aramco. A prolonged outage or further escalation could keep the oil premium elevated, while a rapid operational recovery may allow prices to ease.

$AMD – Liquidation Map (7 Days) – Current Price 485.1

🔎 The 7-day liquidation map shows roughly $3.5 million in long liquidations below the current price, exceeding approximately $2.3 million in short liquidations above. The liquidity structure therefore favors the downside, with around 1.5 times more cumulative liquidity below the market.

📈 Above the market, short-liquidation liquidity begins building immediately from the 485–495 area, with several bars around $80,000–100,000.

India Faces Vegetable Oil Port Congestion as Festival Demand Disappoints

🚢 Congestion was reported from September 7 at Kandla, one of India’s largest edible oil gateways. At least nine vessels carrying around 300,000 tonnes of vegetable oil are waiting to unload, with delays of up to 10 days.

📦 The main pressure comes from strong imports that have pushed shore storage close to capacity. India’s vegetable oil imports in August were estimated at around 1.54 million tonnes, the highest level in 11 months.

🛒 At the same time, festival-season demand has been weaker than expected, slowing inventory drawdowns. Some refiners have started cutting palm oil and soyoil purchases for October, with reductions potentially extending into the October–December period.

📉 If lower bookings persist, short-term pressure could build on international palm oil and soyoil prices. The broader impact will still depend heavily on whether Indian consumption strengthens later in the festival season.

China’s trade surplus rises to $119.09 billion in August

📊 Data released on September 8 showed China’s exports reached $401.44 billion, up 25.0% year-on-year, while imports rose 28.2% to $282.36 billion. The trade surplus widened from $112.5 billion in July to $119.09 billion.

🇨🇳 In the first eight months of the year, the cumulative trade surplus exceeded $800 billion, highlighting the continued importance of exports to growth. However, stronger imports alone are not enough to confirm a clear recovery in domestic demand.

🇺🇸 Exports to the US rose 34.4%, lifting the bilateral surplus to $29.18 billion in August and adding to trade-policy risks ahead of high-level US–China talks.

📉 Market reaction remained limited, with the Hang Seng down around 0.4%, USD/CNY broadly unchanged and the AUD only recovering slightly, suggesting much of the strong data was already priced in.
