4. The President of Palestine met with the French Foreign Minister and stressed the need for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza

In the future, it is necessary to focus on whether the stimulus policies related to domestic demand can continue to maintain their intensity, so as to hedge the impact of external risks on the RMB exchange rate to a certain extent. In addition, the PBOC has sufficient reserves of exchange rate stabilization tools, which will help prevent large unilateral fluctuations in the RMB exchange rate.

1. The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points as scheduled, giving up the statement of "more confidence".

On 8 November, the Fed announced a 25bp rate cut to 4.5%-4.75%, in line with market expectations. The decision was unanimously adopted, with the wording of the policy statement largely unchanged, continuing to emphasize the risk of keeping a close eye on the dual target, but removing the phrase "be more confident that inflation is sustainably moving towards target", without sending a clear signal about future rate cuts, and not commenting in any way on the outcome of the US presidential election. The latest indicators show that economic activity continues to expand steadily. Since the beginning of this year, labor market conditions have generally eased, and the unemployment rate has risen but remains low. Inflation is gradually approaching the Committee's 2% target, but remains slightly above target. The committee's goal is to achieve maximum employment and a long-term inflation rate of 2%. The Committee judged that the risks of reaching the employment and inflation targets were broadly balanced. The economic outlook remains uncertain and the Committee is closely monitoring the risks of dual objectives.

5. Leader of the National Democratic Party of Japan: If U.S. interest rates rise after Trump returns to the White House, the yen may come under pressure

Tamaki, the leader of Japan's opposition National Democratic Party, said the U.S. economy could overheat if Trump raises tariffs and cuts taxes after returning to the White House. If the U.S. then tries to curb inflation by raising interest rates, the yen could come under pressure against the dollar. However, the Bank of Japan should not adjust its policy until it sees how much the salary will be raised by small Japanese companies in the wage negotiations next spring.
