German unemployment declined by 25,000 in April. Analysts forecasted the decrease of 10,000. The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate remained unchanged at 6.7% in April. This figure was expected. The economic data underscore the strength of Germany's economy.

Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said today:

- The negative impact of the tax increase in April is within expectations;

- Three of the BOJ's nine board members do not believe that Japan’s inflation will reach 2% around fiscal 2015 from just over 1% now;

- He expects that the inflation will reach the 2% target, but he said nothing about the time period;

- He repeated that Japan’s central bank will implement additional stimulus measures if needed.

The Fed will announce the results of the April meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) today. Market participants do not expect any surprises. The Fed will keep unchanged interest rates and will taper its asset purchase program at the usual rate of US$10 billion per month to US$45 billion per month.

Recently, there is a slowdown in the U.S. housing market. Building Permits could not exceed 1 million permits, while new home sales has been declining for two consecutive months (fell to 384,000 in March).Existing home sales has been decreasing for seven consecutive months (declined to 4.59 million in March). Nonetheless, the U.S. economy is continuing to grow. It is sufficient reason for Fed to continue tapering its asset purchase program. The fact of the economic activity growth has been noted in the Fed's "Beige Book", published last week.

The recent comments of FOMC members support the Fed’s decision to taper its asset purchase program. In particular, the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas President Richard Fisher said he did not see any reason not to continue tapering the Fed’s asset purchase program. Earlier, Fischer expressed confidence that the QE (Quantitative Easing) will be completed in October. This opinion is also shared by the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta President Dennis Lockhart. On the other side, the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston President Eric Rosengren said the tapering of asset purchase program should be adapted to the economic situation. The Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis President Narayana Kocherlakota supports the 10 billion U.S. dollar tapering of asset purchase program.

At the same time, some Fed members expressed concerns about declining inflation. For example, the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard said it is possible to stop tapering of QE program if inflation will slow down. But Bullard is not a voting member of the FOMC in this year.
