The probability of the Bank of Japan raising interest rates this month doesn't seem to increase the strength of the US/Japan again. Justin Low, an analyst at Forexlive, a financial website, said that the possibility of the Bank of Japan raising interest rates this month was very low from the beginning, and earlier today, the ratio was about 30%. There has just been a sudden report that some policy makers of the Bank of Japan may support raising interest rates in December, but they also think it is unnecessary to rush because they think the cost of waiting for raising interest rates is "very small". After this news, the possibility of the Bank of Japan raising interest rates further dropped to about 23%. This, in turn, led to buying against the yen, while the yen fell. In the initial reaction, USD/JPY once fell to a low of 150.99, but then rose to around 152.30.India's NIFTY metal index rose by 1.25%.The US Department of Commerce listed two high-tech enterprises in China on the list of entities on the grounds of "human rights violations", and the Foreign Ministry responded that the Foreign Ministry of China held a regular press conference today (11th). At the meeting, the CCTV reporter asked questions. On December 10th, the US Department of Commerce listed two high-tech enterprises in China on the "entity list" on the grounds of "human rights violation". What is China's comment? In this regard, Mao Ning said that the so-called sanctions you mentioned are a blatant crackdown on China's high-tech enterprises under the guise of human rights, which further exposes that the US side's protection of human rights is false and depriving the China people of their right to development is true. This trick can't succeed. If the United States really cares about human rights, it should first make up its own human rights "debt", instead of politicizing and weaponizing human rights issues, interfering in other countries' internal affairs and harming other countries' interests everywhere.

The Bank of Japan believes that the cost of waiting for the next rate hike is not high, but it is also open to raising interest rates this month. According to informed sources, Bank of Japan officials believe that there is almost no cost to wait before raising interest rates, and they are still open to raising interest rates next week, depending on data and market development. According to people familiar with the matter, even if the Bank of Japan decides to wait until January next year or a little longer before raising interest rates, the relevant authorities believe that this will not bring huge costs, because there are signs that there is little risk of inflation overshoot. According to people familiar with the matter, officials think it is only a matter of time before the next rate hike, because the economy and inflation are in line with their forecasts. According to people familiar with the matter, officials will make a final decision only after carefully evaluating the data and financial markets before announcing the policy decision in December. Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda and his committee will discuss next week whether it is necessary to raise the benchmark interest rate from 0.25%. Unlike the situation in July, the yen did not show a strong weakness, so the Bank of Japan believes that the risk of the yen pushing up inflation has weakened.Market news: Poland will promote common defense funds during its presidency of the European Union.The price of gold is expected to break through the market. The key data of the United States are expected tonight, and the price of gold is basically flat on Wednesday. The market expects the key inflation data of the United States, which may affect the general expectation of interest rate cuts and provide more clues for the outlook in 2025. Rhona O‘Connell, an analyst at StoneX, said that the market is concerned about the upcoming inflation data and will pay attention to President Powell's post-meeting comments next week for further policy insights. O' Connell added that the price of gold was once stagnant but showing signs of recovery. The recent rebound was driven by geopolitical risks, and the price of gold reached the upper limit of the range, but did not break through the high point. Kyle Rodda, a financial market analyst in Capital.com, said: "The expected data almost gives the Fed a green light to cut interest rates next week, which may be a gold price catalyst." Goldman Sachs said that the main downside risk of predicting that gold will be $3,000 per ounce by the end of 2025 is that the Fed will cut interest rates, not that the dollar will strengthen. Goldman Sachs predicts: "If the Fed cuts interest rates again, the price of gold will rise to $2,890 per ounce."
