[U.S. Energy Secretary says nuclear fusion power generation may be possible within 8 years] U.S. Energy Secretary Wright said that it is possible to generate electricity using nuclear fusion energy within the next decade. "I believe that during the Trump administration, we will know the commercial path to nuclear fusion," Wright said, echoing his previous comments.

On September 15th, local time, US President Trump posted on his social media platform, "Real Social," that Federal Reserve Chairman Powell, "Mr. Too Late," must cut interest rates immediately, and by a larger margin than he expects. Trump has previously repeatedly called on Powell to cut interest rates. The US unemployment rate rose to 4.3% in August, a nearly four-year high. The deteriorating employment data has reinforced market expectations for a Fed rate cut, and analysts predict the Fed may begin another round of rate cuts in September. On the 4th, Trump told reporters that he expected the Fed to announce a "significant rate cut" at its meeting this week. If this happens, it would be the Fed's first rate cut since December of last year. The Fed will hold its monetary policy meetings on September 16th and 17th, and the market generally expects the Fed to begin another round of rate cuts at that time.

Investors expect a 25 basis point rate cut this week after signs of labor market weakness emerged, and money markets have priced in a high probability of two more rate cuts before the end of the year. Interest rate cuts typically support the prices of commodities like copper by boosting demand and weakening the dollar, making them more affordable for buyers using other currencies.

Regarding the TikTok issue, China will conduct technology export approvals in accordance with laws and regulations. At the same time, the Chinese government fully respects the wishes of Chinese overseas companies and supports them in conducting equal commercial negotiations with their partners based on market principles.

India's goods trade deficit narrowed in August as exports grew despite tariffs. India's goods trade deficit narrowed last month as exports grew year-on-year, demonstrating resilience ahead of further increases in already high US tariffs. According to data released by India's Ministry of Commerce on Monday, the goods trade deficit was $26.49 billion in August, compared with a deficit of $35.64 billion in the same month a year earlier. The data showed a 6.7% year-on-year increase in exports and a 10.1% year-on-year decrease in imports. India's exports to the US grew 18% year-on-year between April and August, a period that coincides with India's fiscal year and follows US President Trump's initial announcement of sweeping tariffs on global trading partners. Last month, Trump raised US tariffs on most Indian imports to 50%, one of the highest rates globally, citing the doubling of tariffs from the previous 25% as a punishment for India's purchases of Russian oil. These increased tariffs took effect on August 27, suggesting that some Indian exports may have been front-loaded in the August data as US importers stockpiled goods ahead of the tariff increase. Electronics exports grew nearly 26% year-on-year, likely driven by Apple's iPhone shipments from India as part of the tech giant's efforts to mitigate the impact of tariffs on its business in China. Engineering product exports rose 4.9%, while gemstone exports increased 15.6%.

The market would reach a new equilibrium through adjustments in trade flows and rising logistics costs. Only a permanent decline in Indian purchases of Russian oil, exceeding 1 million barrels per day, would ultimately lead to a net reduction in global crude oil supply."

HSBC: The US dollar could rise briefly if the Fed fails to further strengthen rate cut expectations. Markets generally expect the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates on Wednesday. HSBC's Paul Mackel said in a report that unless the Fed hints at further rate cuts, the US dollar could rise briefly after the Fed's announcement. He said the Fed has pushed up already substantial rate cut expectations, and the bar is high. Data from the London Stock Exchange shows that the market expects the Fed to cut interest rates by approximately 140 basis points by the end of 2026. Given this, the US dollar could rise further after Wednesday's rate cut announcement. However, Mackel said that given the prospect of a faster pace of rate cuts, especially amid continued weakness in employment data, any gains are likely to be temporary. The US dollar index fell to a near one-week low of 97.298.

U.S. Treasury yields remained stable or edged lower during midday trading in Europe, as investors were reluctant to add to new positions ahead of the Federal Reserve's expected rate cut on Wednesday. "Investors are waiting to see whether inflation dynamics and Fed guidance will further shift expectations," said Van Ha Trinh of Exness in a report. The financial market strategist said yields could react sharply to any unexpected changes in the pace or scale of policy easing. According to the London Stock Exchange, the Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates by 25 basis points. According to Tradeweb, the two-year Treasury yield fell 2.9 basis points to 3.533%, the 10-year Treasury yield fell 2.6 basis points to 4.042%, and the 30-year Treasury yield was 4.657%.

[Commerzbank: The Fed's balance sheet plan may have a significant impact on the US dollar] Thu Lan Nguyen of Commerzbank said in a report that the Fed's balance sheet plan may have a significant impact on the US dollar. She said that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's recent remarks indicate that he supports accelerating the reduction of the Fed's balance sheet. After the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, the Federal Reserve significantly reduced its balance sheet to cope with the growing inflation. However, the pace of balance sheet reduction has slowed since the spring of this year. "Resuming a faster pace of balance sheet reduction, especially reducing government bond holdings, will reduce the effectiveness of the interest rate cuts requested by President Trump, which in turn will be good for the US dollar."

[Canada needs to address a "huge" budget deficit] A senior Canadian official admitted that the Liberal government will face a "huge" budget deficit in the near future. Steven McKinnon, leader of the Canadian government's legislative branch, made the above remarks to reporters as the Canadian Parliament returned to work after more than two months of summer vacation. "We have a deficit problem that needs to be addressed," McKinnon said, referring to the finance minister's request that government departments set spending reduction targets of up to 15%. "We face a major challenge." The CD Howe Institute, a Toronto think tank, calculated that the budget deficit for the current fiscal year (ending March 31, 2026) may exceed C$90 billion due to the commitment to rapidly increase defense spending to meet NATO thresholds and other policy measures aimed at reviving the economy dragged down by US tariffs.

[Netanyahu acknowledges Israel's economic isolation, opposition criticizes him for reaping its own consequences] On the afternoon of the 15th local time, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu acknowledged at a Finance Ministry meeting that Israel is currently facing increasing "economic isolation." He stated that as the fighting in the Gaza Strip continues, Israel may be forced to move towards a "self-sufficient economy," and therefore must become more self-reliant. He also stated that the development of Israel's military industry "may have" been hindered, and further strengthening of weapons research and production capabilities is needed. He accused European countries of turning anti-Israel and canceling arms sales agreements due to mass immigration, but stressed his belief that Israel can break free from isolation. After the meeting, Israeli opposition leader Lapid criticized Israel's economic isolation as a product of the "wrong and failed" policies of Netanyahu and his government.
