The market is focused on the Federal Reserve's meeting minutes, increasing uncertainty about the direction of interest rates

According to Jinshi News, the minutes of the Federal Reserve's October policy meeting will be released next Thursday morning Beijing time, increasing uncertainty among investors regarding the path of U.S. interest rates. Last month, the Federal Reserve lowered the benchmark interest rate to a range of 3.75% - 4%, but Powell's statement that "further rate cuts by the end of the year are not a foregone conclusion" reshaped market expectations. Boston Fed President Collins questioned the possibility of a rate cut next month, emphasizing that "the threshold for implementing additional easing in the near term is relatively high." Data shortages will become a major obstacle to the Federal Reserve's decision-making.
