■ Position Change, Signals

・January 5 (Thu). Tokyo morning: due to the previous day's rebound, yen strengthens, dollar weakens, and Commonwealth currencies weaken. As European time approaches, yen strengthens and dollar strengthens while Commonwealth currencies weaken.

・The intraday balance is shifting: euro buying at 1.0603 is canceled, and pound selling at 1.2007 is underway.

・The overall market is leaning toward dollar buying.

■ Major Economic Indicators (US focus), Interest rate decisions, events, news, etc.

・China December Caixin Services PMI 48.0 (previous 46.7)

・IMF's Gopinath urges Fed to raise rates = FT

(If there is a change in the intraday balance and new positions are taken, they will be re-confirmed at NY close, and the new positions will be moved to overnight positions, with the initial positions settled. However, if new positions in China and Japan are canceled mid-way, the initial positions up to that point will be maintained. Therefore, when new positions arise due to intraday balance changes, they will be paired with the initial position. Naturally, there will be slippage when canceled.)
