Komatsu, the world's second-largest construction machinery maker after Caterpillar Inc, plans to raise prices and slash costs as it expects the yen to firm next year, its chief executive said on Wednesday. "I'm not probably mistaken to say that the yen will be swinging to the firming side next year," Komatsu CEO Hiroyuki Ogawa said in an online interview with a group of reporters. In October, Komatsu, which also competes with China's Sany Heavy Industry and Tokyo-based Hitachi Construction Machinery, raised its net profit forecast for the year to March 2024 by 14% due mainly to the yen's weakness.

Chinese officials often respond with aggressive statements to international scrutiny. After Moody's and S&P Global's previous outlook cuts in 2016, then finance minister Lou Jiwei slammed the ratings agencies as "biased" during a G20 meeting in Washington.

Portugal's leading contender for prime minister, Luis Montenegro, expects his promise of tax cuts for the middle class, young and companies to win enough votes for his centre-right Social Democratic Party to secure a majority in a March 10 snap election. Montenegro, 50, told Reuters on Tuesday he was also sure that last month's collapse after a series of scandals of the long-running, majority centre-left Socialist government would play into his hands, with its habitual supporters punishing it at the polls. Most opinion polls put Montenegro's Social Democratic Party (PSD) neck and neck with the Socialist Party, and many analysts fear a post-election quagmire as they doubt he can clinch a working parliamentary majority without support from the far-right Chega party.

Euro zone government bond yields edged lower on Wednesday as investors took a breather after a sharp repricing of the European Central Bank policy path, which led money markets to discount up to 145 bps of rate cuts by the end of 2024. Euro area borrowing costs dropped on Tuesday after ECB official Isabel Schnabel told Reuters further interest rate hikes are "rather unlikely". Investors increased bids for bonds after data on U.S. job openings (JOLTS) led investors to price in that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates as soon as March.
