[CICC: It is expected that the "loose trade" that has lasted for nearly a month may be temporarily suspended in the short term] CICC's research report said that considering that the meeting was well-organized, the future interest rate cut path did not exceed expectations and there are even differences. At present, the market and various assets have already taken into account a lot of interest rate cut expectations. Therefore, it is expected that in the short term, the "loose trade" that has lasted for nearly a month may be temporarily suspended (interest rate cuts, weak US dollar, rising gold, growth and emerging markets leading). The reaction of the US stock market and major assets last night was also the same.

[CITIC Securities: It is expected that the US dollar may remain weak in this round of interest rate cuts and gold will still perform well] CITIC Securities research report stated that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by 25bps at the September 2025 interest rate meeting, which is in line with market expectations. Powell said that this is a risk management-style interest rate cut, and in the dual mission, it tends to control the downside risk of the job market. The dot plot indicates that there will be another 50bps interest rate cut this year, which is in line with expectations. CITIC Securities still expects the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by another 25bps at the October and December interest rate meetings respectively. The interest rate path in 2026 will become clearer after the final candidate for the new Federal Reserve Chairman is decided. In terms of the market, after the interest rate cut, the US Treasury bonds once again showed the characteristics of "buying expectations + selling facts", and the US stock market still showed the characteristics of "catch-up", with the Dow Jones and small-cap stocks performing well. It is recommended to downplay the guidance of this meeting on the interest rate path next year. It is expected that the US dollar may remain weak in this round of interest rate cuts, and gold is expected to continue to perform well.

[Market Analysis: Bank of Japan Expected to Hold Interest Rates Unchanged, Watch for Signals of an October Rate Hike] Observers generally expect the Bank of Japan to hold interest rates steady at its monetary policy meeting, which concludes on Friday. Whether it signals a rate hike in October or December will be of interest. A media survey of 50 economists showed a unanimous prediction that the Bank of Japan will maintain its interest rate at 0.5%. Overnight, the Federal Reserve resumed its interest rate cuts after a nine-month hiatus and forecast two more 25 basis point cuts before the end of the year. Multiple uncertainties may prompt the Bank of Japan to wait and see for further assessment. In addition to the Fed's resumption of rate cuts, Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's announcement of his resignation has also brought turmoil to domestic politics. Meanwhile, on the trade front, Japanese authorities are reportedly still assessing the potential impact of US tariffs both domestically and internationally.

[CICC: Milan Lowers Dot Plot Average Rate Cut Expectations] A CICC research report states that the core message of this Fed meeting is that the "risk-controlled" rate cuts were standard, while the "dot plot" projects two more rate cuts this year, but with significant disagreement. 1) On the surface, the "dot plot" projects two more rate cuts this year, but a closer look at the voting distribution among the 19 voting members reveals that nine predict one or fewer rate cuts, nine predict two, and one predicts another 125 basis point cut (clearly unlikely, with market speculation suggesting Milan). In other words, if Milan's low forecast hadn't lowered the average, the "dot plot," which uses the median as the final outcome, would have been roughly evenly matched, with the probability of one or two rate cuts this year, roughly in line with the current futures market's projections of over 80% probability of rate cuts in October and December, respectively. 2) The divergence in 2026 is even greater, with the median probability of only one rate cut, significantly less than the three currently priced in by the futures market. However, because next year involves the reshuffle of Powell and several committee members, the market has not overreacted to next year's path.

[Soochow Securities: The market has fully priced in three rate cuts; rate cuts do not necessarily lead to a significant weakening of the US dollar] A Soochow Securities research report states that the market has fully priced in three rate cuts, leaving no room for further rate cuts throughout the year. Weak employment has fueled market pessimism about the US economy, but leading indicators show signs of recovery. If the economy outperforms expectations, expectations for rate cuts will further subside. Rate cuts do not necessarily lead to a significant weakening of the US dollar. Historically, precautionary rate cuts have led to an average decline in the US dollar after one week, with a relatively large drop (-0.91%). However, these declines narrow within a month and turn positive, with average gains of 0.84% and 2.02% over the following three and six months.

[CICC: The Fed is expected to cut interest rates again in October, but the threshold for such a cut will become increasingly higher] CICC's research report stated that, looking ahead, due to the overly weak employment data, we expect the Fed to cut interest rates by another 25 basis points in October. However, after that, rising inflation will make the threshold for interest rate cuts increasingly higher, and the room for monetary easing will also be limited. The crux of the current US economy is not insufficient demand, but rising costs. Excessive monetary easing will not only fail to solve the employment problem, but may also exacerbate inflation and plunge the economy into a "quasi-stagflation" dilemma.

German Central Bank President: Trump's Attacks on the Fed Could Threaten US Stability and Prosperity 1. German Central Bank President Joachim Nagel warned on Wednesday that undermining the Federal Reserve's independence could backfire, effectively raising borrowing costs and encouraging other governments to interfere in central bank affairs. US President Trump has been applying unprecedented pressure on the Fed to aggressively cut interest rates, attempting to fire a Fed governor, and initiating discussions about replacing Fed Chair Jerome Powell. In a speech in Frankfurt, Nagel said that if the Fed's independence were permanently undermined politically, the consequences would be severe, jeopardizing US economic and financial stability and prosperity. 2. Nagel praised Powell's handling of the conflict, saying that if external attacks cast doubt on the Fed's commitment to price stability, long-term borrowing costs would actually rise, further increasing borrowing costs for governments, even if the Fed cuts interest rates. "There are signs that the attacks on the Fed have led to a steeper U.S. Treasury yield curve... with lower short-term yields and higher long-term yields," Nagel said. "It shows that financial markets certainly understand the importance of central bank independence." The broader problem is that government intervention in the Fed could set a precedent, prompting other countries to pressure their central banks to cut interest rates more than is reasonable, thereby endangering financial stability.

According to the SEC statement, the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), Nasdaq, and the New York Stock Exchange have received permission from regulators to list commodity-based trust shares as long as they meet "approved general listing standards." SEC Chairman Paul Atkins said in the statement: "This approval will help maximize investor choice and promote innovation by streamlining the listing process and reducing barriers to accessing digital asset products in trusted U.S. capital markets."

Meta's new $800 smart glasses with a display are likely to be a focal point at Connect. Meta is expected to launch its first consumer smart glasses with a built-in display on Wednesday, continuing the momentum of its Ray-Ban line, an early consumer favorite in the age of artificial intelligence. Analysts say the new glasses may be named "Celeste" and come with Meta's first gesture-controlled wristband, but the expected $800 price tag may put some buyers off. Reports suggest the glasses may be branded by Prada. The event is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. Pacific Time (8 p.m. Eastern Time). The glasses are expected to feature a small digital display on the right lens for basic tasks like notifications, while also offering features found on existing Ray-Ban and Oakley smart glasses, such as an AI assistant, a camera, hands-free control, and live streaming to social media platforms including Instagram.

[Powell sets the tone for the Fed's third mission, saying it is a derivative of the other two missions] In response to questions about the central bank's statutory requirement to achieve "moderate long-term interest rates" at a press conference after the interest rate decision on Wednesday, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell explained why the three missions given to the Fed by Congress can be reduced to two major tasks in practice. For a long time, central bank officials have positioned their mission as a dual task, that is, the focus of monetary policy is to keep inflation low and stable, and to ensure a continued strong job market, and basically not emphasize the third task. Powell told reporters that the third task is real, but in the eyes of central bankers, it is a derivative of the two more well-known goals stipulated by law. He said: "We believe that moderate long-term interest rates are the result of achieving low and stable inflation and maximum employment." For some time, Federal Reserve officials did not believe that the third task required "independent action."

[New Zealand's economy shrank more than expected in the second quarter] New Zealand's economy shrank much more than economists expected in the second quarter as rising unemployment and global uncertainty suppressed demand. Data released on Thursday showed that the country's GDP grew by a revised 0.9% in the first quarter, but fell by 0.9% in the three months to June, compared with economists' expectations of a 0.3% contraction. The New Zealand economy, which experienced a severe recession last year, has been slow to respond to the central bank's sharp interest rate cuts. Cooling demand is expected to reduce inflationary pressures, making it possible for the Reserve Bank of New Zealand to further cut interest rates before the end of the year.

[Powell emphasizes the independence of the Federal Reserve] On the afternoon of September 17th, Eastern Time, and early this morning (September 18th) Beijing Time, the U.S. Federal Reserve announced a 25 basis point interest rate cut and continued balance sheet reduction. This is the first interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve since December 2024, and it is expected to cut interest rates twice more this year. When answering reporters' questions that day, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell once again emphasized the independence of the Federal Reserve. Since taking office in January this year, U.S. President Trump has continued to pressure the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates and nominated Stephen Milan, Chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, to serve as a member of the Federal Reserve Board. Powell also confirmed that the Federal Reserve is implementing a 10% staff reduction plan, covering the Board of Governors and all reserve banks-after completion, the size of the Federal Reserve's employees will basically return to the level of ten years ago.

[The U.S. House of Representatives advances a temporary appropriations bill in hopes of avoiding a government shutdown] The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday cleared the way for a vote later this week on a temporary appropriations bill aimed at avoiding a partial shutdown of the federal government within two weeks. Lawmakers voted 216 to 210 to pass a measure allowing the House to debate a temporary bill that would fund federal agencies until November 21, giving the House and Senate more time to reach an agreement on a comprehensive appropriations bill for fiscal year 2026, which begins on October 1. Republicans hope to pass the temporary appropriations bill by Friday and submit it to the Senate for deliberation. The bill still needs to be passed by the Senate and signed by President Trump before it can become law. The Republicans control the Senate with a 53-47 advantage. The temporary bill, known as the "Continuing Appropriations Resolution" (CR), needs 60 votes to pass the Senate, while Democrats oppose the bill and are brewing alternatives.

[Summary of institutions' comments on the Fed's rate cut] KPMG believes that the Fed's continuation of current policies into next year may lead to excessive stimulus; Mitsubishi UFJ pointed out that the Fed's decision this time was the most dovish statement it could make, and added another rate cut this year to its dot plot expectations, but it felt that the Fed did not enter the rate cut sprint mode, but simply restarted the rate cut process because it admitted that the job market was not as good as expected; "New Bond King" Gundlach said that the Fed's 25 basis point rate cut was the right move, and the biggest opportunity worthy of attention was the downward trend of the US dollar; some institutions said that the Fed expects the economy to continue to softly land, which is very beneficial to the credit market; Fitch said that the Federal Reserve is now fully supporting the labor market and has clearly released that it will enter a decisive and aggressive rate cut cycle in 2025. The message is clear, that is, growth and employment are the top priorities, even if it means tolerating higher inflation in the short term.
