Jin10 data reported on August 22, Reuters' survey shows that most economists believe the Reserve Bank of New Zealand may cut interest rates twice more this year to 2.50%. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand's rate cut this Wednesday aligns with economists' and financial markets' expectations, but the unexpected downward revision of the path for the Official Cash Rate (OCR) and two votes in favor of a more significant cut of 50 basis points prompted economists to revise their outlook for the future. Over 75% of the surveyed economists (13 out of 17 economists) predict a cut of 50 basis points this year, while a survey conducted before the meeting showed that economists held two views: one being no further rate cuts and the other only a further cut of 25 basis points. Four economists believe there will be a slight adjustment down to 2.75%. Nearly 90% of economists (15 out of 17 economists) expect the next meeting on October 8 to result in a cut of 25 basis points. Two expect no changes.

On August 21, Jin10 reported that CMB International released a research report indicating that Pop Mart (09992.HK) had a strong performance in the first half of the year. The bank raised its profit forecast for 2025-27 by 39-49% and increased the target price to HKD 394.

On August 20, Jin10 reported that the Central Bank of Israel has maintained interest rates for the 13th consecutive time, cautiously weighing the economic slowdown against the ongoing uncertainty brought about by the Gaza conflict. On Wednesday, the bank kept the benchmark interest rate at 4.5%, in line with market expectations. The day before this decision, Prime Minister Netanyahu's cabinet approved a budget increase equivalent to about 1.5% of GDP to cover war expenses. This year's revised budget added 30 billion shekels (about 8.8 billion USD) in defense spending, raising the estimated fiscal deficit from 4.9% to 5.2%. Israel plans to take control of Gaza City in the coming weeks, a move that will require the mobilization of tens of thousands of reserve soldiers and may further exacerbate supply chain tensions. A new ceasefire proposal put forward by Egypt and Qatar, which has been accepted by Hamas, could delay or even cancel the aforementioned plans. However, Israel has not yet clarified whether it is willing to cease fire immediately.

Odaily News Although acknowledging that Hasset is qualified for the position, Alan Sinha of Decision Economics expressed concerns about the independence of the Fed under his appointment. Sinha pointed out: "If a low interest rate policy is pursued for political purposes — which is a strong advocacy and direction of the Trump administration — it will be seen by the market as executive interference in the Central Bank, thereby constituting macro risk."

Jin10 data reported on August 20th that TD Securities strategists stated that the latest interest rate cut by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand was within market expectations, but what surprised the market was the implication that further cuts are expected in the future. Prashant Newnaha wrote: "We will not ignore this signal." He pointed out that two committee members voted for a 50 basis point cut, and this dovish shift occurred while the acting governor still judged the likelihood of inflation exceeding 3% this year to be 50/50. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand's confidence in the existence of idle capacity in the New Zealand economy may have been strengthened by labor market data significantly below May expectations. Even in the face of rising inflation risks, the Reserve Bank appears determined to move towards further interest rate cuts. As a result, TD Securities has adjusted its forecast, now expecting the Reserve Bank of New Zealand to cut rates by 25 basis points in both October and November, with a terminal interest rate reaching 2.50%.

Jin10 data reports on August 20, the UK government bonds rebounded strongly on Wednesday, with the 10-year yield ending a four-day streak of rises. The yield is heading towards its largest drop in a month. The inflation report had little impact on this year's rate cut expectations, but bets on further cuts next year have increased. Swap contracts currently imply about a 75% probability of the interest rate being lowered to 3.5% by the end of next year, a shift that partly explains the movement of UK government bonds. Macro strategist Conor Cooper said: "Many still believe that regardless of inflation, the Bank of England will eventually lower rates to below 3.75%. If the Bank of England is forced to maintain tight policy in the short term to ensure inflation is controlled, then the already troubled economy will bear even greater pressure, ultimately requiring a faster pace of rate cuts than previously envisioned after inflation stabilizes. This is favourable information for UK government bonds and may also be a factor that traders will consider when interpreting UK inflation data in the coming months."

According to Golden Finance reports and The Wall Street Journal: Bank of America allocated $4 billion for the development of new technologies such as artificial intelligence.

Jin10 data reported on August 20, Monex Europe analysts stated in a report that after the UK announced inflation data higher than expected on Wednesday, the pound may struggle to maintain its appreciation momentum. Analysts indicated that a single data point is unlikely to significantly alter the Central Bank of the UK’s inclination to cut interest rates against the backdrop of a weak labor market. "We still expect that growth resistance and the upcoming fiscal tightening will force the Central Bank of the UK to cut rates again later this year, which will make the pound more sensitive to external factors and the risks clearly skewed to the downside." The annual inflation rate in the UK rose to 3.8% in July, up from 3.6% in June, also exceeding the market expectation of 3.7%.

On August 20, Jin10 reported that European Central Bank President Lagarde stated on Wednesday that the trade agreement between the United States and the EU is slightly on the high side, but not far from the baseline assumption of the European Central Bank. She stated: "The trade agreement establishes that the effective average tariff for U.S. imports of Eurozone goods is estimated to be between 12% and 16%." "This effective average tariff rate is slightly higher than the assumed scenario used in our baseline forecast in June, but still close to it." Lagarde said: "The outcome of the trade agreement is far below the severe situation where U.S. tariffs exceed 20%."

Analysts pointed out that considering the Fed is expected to cut interest rates before the end of the year, this would allow the Central Bank of Thailand to continue easing monetary policy without excessive concern about capital outflows.

Overall inflation slowed to 1.7% in July, down from 1.9% the previous month. The inflation rate excluding indirect taxes also decreased from 2.5% to 2.2%. With the Canadian government deciding in March to eliminate the consumer carbon tax, the Central Bank of Canada is closely monitoring this tax-excluded indicator. However, core inflation excluding volatile items such as food and energy remains high, with the core inflation metric preferred by the Central Bank still above 3%. Economist Royce Mendes stated that the data suggests price increases related to tariffs may occur in March and April, potentially earlier than the expectations of the Central Bank of Canada. "Recent price data shows that price growth is normalizing."

Jin10 data reported on August 19, FP Markets analyst Aaron Hill stated in a report that if the data released later today indicates an unexpected decline in Canada’s core inflation for July, the Canadian dollar may weaken.

The team led by Mark Haefele, Chief Investment Officer of UBS Global Wealth Management, stated in their report that given the huge gap in negotiating positions and the lack of decisive progress on the battlefield, "we expect the Russia-Ukraine conflict to continue into next year.

Jin10 data reported on August 14th that the macro research report from China Merchants states that recently, the equity market has created emotional suppression on the bond market, making stock trading a major factor affecting interest rate trends. However, due to the different pricing foundations of the two asset classes, the stock-bond seesaw is merely a phenomenon and not a rule, which will make it difficult for stock trading to sustain bond trading. From the underlying logic, the supply and demand of money remains the fundamental influence on the price of money (i.e., interest rate). Looking ahead, as the financing demand from the real sector weakens and the Central Bank continues to maintain ample liquidity, there is a lack of a sustained upward basis for interest rates, and the 1.7% yield on ten-year bonds still represents a window period for getting on board. The disclosure of financial data during this period has further strengthened our judgment of being bullish on the bond market; what is needed now may just be confidence and time.

The Japanese Cabinet Office will release preliminary data on Friday. This data may prompt the Central Bank of Japan to maintain its policy path for another rate hike this year—as long as authorities are confident that they can withstand the ongoing pressure of US trade policies on global business with resilient domestic demand.

Jin10 data on August 14: The Bank of Canada discussed a 25 basis point rate cut at its July meeting, but the ongoing trade disputes with the United States, the resilience of the Canadian economy, and the rising Inflation risks ultimately led the Bank of Canada to keep the policy interest rate at 2.75% for the third consecutive meeting.
