🏛 Central Banks & Policy

🦅 Federal Reserve: NY Fed President Williams reiterated the Fed may need further hikes to tame inflation. December FOMC hike expectations are rising, supporting the DXY.

🏰 European Central Bank: Eurozone September CPI jumped to 3.8%, well above the 2% target. Chief Economist Lane stressed that AI investment could lift productivity, but near-term inflation pressure leaves the ECB in a bind.

🇨🇳 People's Bank of China: PBoC kept LPRs unchanged for the 16th straight month (1Y 3.00%, 5Y 3.50%) and lifted the USD/CNY fix to 6.7330, signaling stabilization. The bank reiterated it has "neither the need nor the intention" to depreciate the yuan.

🌐 Diplomacy & Geopolitics

China-US: Trade frictions continue. Trump publicly stated that Russia and China will not back Iran in any conflict, hinting at a possible "beyond-protectionism" consensus path with Beijing. China's September auto sales fell for the 12th straight month, with NEV exports becoming the key growth lever.

China-EU: The European Commission plans to roll out new trade-defence measures in December (anti-dumping + countervailing + FDI screening), covering steel, EVs, and solar. China has launched an anti-dumping probe into EU imports of p-nitrotoluene as retaliation. Trade frictions are escalating.

Geopolitics: Iran is reviewing the US proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz but has set 7 preconditions. Tehran warned that if conditions are not met, it may strike Saudi oil facilities and US warships. CENTCOM has acted against vessels violating the blockade. Middle East crude transport risk premium keeps climbing.
