What was the yen's initial drop after the interest rate hike to 1.25% signaling to the market?

On Monday, September 21, the global foreign exchange market repriced in the Bank of Japan's decision from the previous Friday in thin trading ahead of Japan's long weekend. The policy rate was raised by 25 basis points to 1.25%, the highest since 1995, with a vote of 7 in favor and 2 against. The rate hike itself was already fully priced in, but the guidance on the pace was cautious. The USD/JPY pair weakened after the decision and is currently trading around 157. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury bond is approximately 4.97%, while the yield on the 10-year Japanese government bond is approximately 2.99%, with the yield spread remaining close to 2 percentage points.

Tensions in the Middle East eased overnight, oil prices fell for the fourth consecutive day, and gold prices retreated from their highs: global funds are quietly shifting gears.

Signs of easing tensions in the Middle East and reduced concerns about oil supply represent a crucial turning point in market sentiment recently.

For ordinary investors, the key is to understand that as geopolitical premiums rapidly diminish, asset pricing is returning to fundamentals. This article analyzes the interconnectedness of oil prices, gold, US Treasury bonds, and exchange rates to help you grasp the origins and future direction of this market movement.

Brent crude oil fell from 109.7 to 101: Is the market dismantling the premium, or is it a false pullback before the next disruption?

On Monday, September 21, Brent crude oil was trading around $101 per barrel, down about 2% from the previous trading day. West Texas Intermediate crude oil also fell to around $93-94 per barrel. The pricing logic has shifted from the shock trading of the "sudden interruption of export channels" in mid-September to two more subtle clues: whether the Saudi East-West pipeline can partially resume operation according to the publicly announced timetable, and whether diplomatic contacts during the UN General Assembly window will further compress the risk premium.

Walsh's serious fight against inflation has finally won over Wall Street?

The Federal Reserve has failed to achieve its 2% inflation target for five consecutive years. New Fed Chairman Warsh is working tirelessly to bring US inflation back to pre-pandemic levels. The market's biggest concern is: how long will it take this time?

2026-09-21 19:16:13

How will Warsh's proposed easing measures rewrite the pricing of US Treasury bonds?

On Monday, September 21, the US Treasury market remained in a pricing and consolidation phase following the Federal Reserve's resumption of interest rate hikes. The two-year Treasury yield hovered around 4.72%, having risen to approximately 4.75% to 4.76% in the previous few trading days, reaching a high range in recent years. Meanwhile, the target range for the US federal funds rate was 3.75% to 4.00%, and the ten-year Treasury yield was approximately 4.96%, narrowing the spread between the two-year and ten-year yields to approximately 21 to 25 basis points. The market's focus has shifted from whether interest rates will be raised again to whether the short-term rate has already factored in too much of the subsequent path.

The cost of ceasing forward guidance: Central banks are being held hostage by market expectations.

Central banks have shifted from providing too much forward guidance to providing too little. This has made market expectations overly sensitive to economic data and comments from individual policymakers. Central banks thus risk becoming prisoners of market expectations, thereby undermining the flexibility they originally intended to retain.
