Part 3/9:
As markets prepare for upcoming key policy decisions, the Fed and the B.O.J. stand out prominently. Market analyst Garfield Reynolds emphasized that while immediate actions from these institutions are crucial, the signals they provide for the future are equally significant. For the Fed, there is widespread speculation that it will embrace a gradualist approach, hinting at two potential rate cuts in 2025. Meanwhile, expectations surrounding the B.O.J. indicate that it will likely opt to hold its rates steady during its upcoming meeting.
