Today’s NY Dow continued to rise by $294.6, and the bond market rebounded. On that day, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s comments suggested a tone-down, and speculation that the Fed would move to lower interest rates in 2024 has become more widespread.

In a late-night speech on the 1st, Japan time, the chairman said, “We will maintain the current monetary policy until we are confident that inflation is moving towards our 2% price target.” It is too early to speculate on when we will shift to monetary easing. “We are prepared to further tighten monetary policy if we deem it appropriate,” he said, putting a check on the market’s growing expectations for a rate cut. However, given the slowing inflation rate indicated by CPI and PCE and the slowing US economy, the benchmark inflation averaged 2.5% for the six months ending in October, moving closer to the 2% level. “Policy interest rates are in a fairly restrictive range,” he said.

This week, dovish comments from a supposedly hawkish Fed director increased expectations for a rate cut in the first half of 2024. In the CME interest rate futures market, over 40% predict that the policy interest rate will be lowered to 4.5-4.75% (currently 5.25-5.50%) by September next year.

The next FOMC interest rate announcement is scheduled for December 14th.

Today’s main market materials are as follows:.

• Chairman Powell’s restraining statements continue in NY; denial of expectations for rate cut is as expected
• Comprehensive manufacturing business index for November = contraction for 13 consecutive months
• U.S. bond yield sharply falls 10-year bond yield -2.76%
• The yen temporarily rose to 146.66 yen against the dollar, raising expectations for a narrowing of the Japan-U.S. interest rate differential
