ECB MEMBER NAGEL: GERMAN ECONOMY MAY GAIN SOME MOMENTUM AGAIN On Tuesday, European Central Bank member and Bundesbank Governor Joachim Nagel made some important comments regarding economic activity in Germany, assuming that the country's economy should gain some momentum to grow again, but at a slow pace. In addition, Nagel said that the main factors behind Germany's growth were the energy crisis, weak foreign demand and high inflation, but the consequences of high inflation led to a decline in economic activity; many consumers refrained from spending, and in addition, the ECB's tightening of monetary policy weakened economic activity in Germany. In its recent monthly report, the Bundesbank expected that Germany's economic growth rate would decline - and possibly enter a recession - in the third quarter due to weak manufacturing activity, investment and consumer spending at the same time.

JAPANESE STOCKS CLOSE SHARPLY HIGHER AFTER FED MEETING, BANK OF JAPAN DECISION AWAITED Most Asian stocks rose during trading on Thursday, and Japanese stocks closed the session sharply higher after the US Federal Reserve on Wednesday evening began its interest rate cutting cycle with a large reduction of 50 basis points, bringing the target range for the benchmark borrowing rate to 5.00% - 4.75%. Today’s rise in Japanese stocks was mainly driven by the sharp decline in the Japanese yen against the US dollar, as traders prepare for the Bank of Japan’s interest rate decision on Friday morning, when the bank’s Monetary Policy Committee will announce its decision on interest rates, after the Bank of Japan ended its decades-long negative interest rate regime earlier this year.

NOMURA BANK EXPLAINS THE SCENARIOS FOR TRADING THE DOLLAR AFTER THE FED MEETING Japanese Nomura Bank published a note on Tuesday regarding its expectations for trading the US dollar with the US Federal Reserve’s decision, which included scenarios for trading the US dollar according to the bank’s possible decision. Nomura expects that a 25 basis point interest rate cut by the Federal Open Market Committee will initially strengthen the US dollar, but it expects the US dollar to weaken during the press conference of Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, and a larger cut could exacerbate this weakness. The bank’s analysts indicated that a larger 50 basis point rate cut is likely to lead to further weakness in the US dollar, and Nomura also lowered its forecast for the USD/JPY pair, recommending selling the pair, especially if the yen recovers and the pair falls towards 143-145 yen.

🔴BREAKING - Traders Raise Odds of 50-Basis Point Rate Cut to 68% Traders have not been this divided on the outcome of the Fed’s next rate decision since before the financial crisis. Markets are now pricing in a 68% chance of a 50-basis-point cut, compared with 43% on Friday. With just one day to go, whether Fed policymakers will cut rates by a quarter-point or a half-point is a wild card in U.S. interest rates markets. Excluding the Fed’s emergency cut in March 2020 at the start of the pandemic, that’s the highest level of uncertainty in interest-rate swaps markets for any decision by the U.S. central bank since 2007, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

⭕️ BREAKING - TRUMP SAFE AFTER POSSIBLE GUNSHOTS ‘IN HIS VICINITY,’ CAMPAIGN SAYS Former President Donald Trump was safe on Sunday after his campaign said it heard gunshots fired in his vicinity. CNBC has not independently verified the gunshots. The sounds were heard on Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, where the the Republican presidential nominee was golfing, a source familiar with the matter told NBC News on Sunday. The former president was immediately taken to a safe location, the source said. The Secret Service said in a statement posted on X that it was “investigating a protective incident” involving Trump. Trump was injured in an attempted assassination at a Pennsylvania rally in July.

BOEING SHARES FALL MORE THAN 3% ON STRIKE CALLS! Boeing shares fell sharply during trading on Friday, by more than 3%, as the stock was damaged by a strike by Boeing machine workers after they refused a 25% wage increase, which caused the company's factory to close. Fitch, in turn, said that if the strike continues for a long period, it could lead to a downgrade of Boeing's rating to an undesirable level.
