1. Fed Cuts, Signals Potential Pause 

  • Rate Cut Delivered: The Federal Reserve cut rates by 25bps to 3.50%-3.75%, citing labor market downside risks.
  • Split Vote Uncertainty: A rare split vote highlights internal division over balancing growth support against tariff-induced inflation.
  • USD Under Pressure: The dollar weakened broadly as markets digested the cut and the Fed's neutral, data-dependent guidance. 

 

2. Yen Volatility Ahead of BoJ

  • BoJ Hike Expectations: Traders are positioning for a potential rate hike next week, supporting the Yen against the Dollar.
  • Intervention Risks: Speculation remains high regarding government intervention as the JPY fluctuates near key psychological levels.
  • Yield Gap Narrowing: The Fed's recent cut narrows the US-Japan yield differential, potentially fuelling further Yen strength. 

 

3. RBA Hawkish, China Drags AUD

  • RBA Holds Steady: The RBA kept the cash rate on hold, with Governor Bullock maintaining a hawkish inflation outlook.
  • China Data Weighs: Weak inflation figures from China are capping AUD gains, signaling soft demand from Australia's key partner.
  • Mixed AUD Signals: The Aussie dollar faces opposing forces: domestic rate support versus external deflationary pressures from China. 

 

4. Gold Rallies, Oil Hits Support

  • Gold Near Records: Gold prices surged past $4,230/oz, boosted by the Fed cut and safe-haven demand amid geopolitical risks.
  • Oil Price Slump: Crude oil plunged into critical support levels due to oversupply concerns and weakening global demand forecasts.
  • Diverging Commodity Trends: Precious metals are outperforming energy assets as investors seek safety over growth-sensitive commodities. 

 

5. Tariffs and Data Gaps

  • Inflationary Tariffs: Recent tariffs are creating upside inflation risks, complicating the Fed's path to further easing in 2026.
  • Data Blind Spots: A recent government shutdown has delayed key economic reports, limiting visibility for policymakers and traders.
  • Stagflation Fears: The combination of slowing growth and tariff-driven price pressures is reviving concerns about a stagflationary environment.
