The settlements further entrench the occupation, exacerbate tensions, and systematically undermine the viability of a Palestinian state as part of a "two-state solution."

The Indonesian Benchmark stock index is expected to reach a historic high, with foreign investment returning to the market, and net purchases in July reaching $283 million.

Jin10 data reported on August 14th that the macro research report from China Merchants states that recently, the equity market has created emotional suppression on the bond market, making stock trading a major factor affecting interest rate trends. However, due to the different pricing foundations of the two asset classes, the stock-bond seesaw is merely a phenomenon and not a rule, which will make it difficult for stock trading to sustain bond trading. From the underlying logic, the supply and demand of money remains the fundamental influence on the price of money (i.e., interest rate). Looking ahead, as the financing demand from the real sector weakens and the Central Bank continues to maintain ample liquidity, there is a lack of a sustained upward basis for interest rates, and the 1.7% yield on ten-year bonds still represents a window period for getting on board. The disclosure of financial data during this period has further strengthened our judgment of being bullish on the bond market; what is needed now may just be confidence and time.

Jin10 data reported on August 14th that despite facing the impact of US tariffs, Japan's economy is still expected to achieve moderate growth in the second quarter driven by domestic demand from capital expenditures, thus avoiding a technical recession. The median estimate from economists indicates that Japan's second quarter GDP may rise at an annualized rate of 0.4%, reversing the contraction seen in the previous quarter. Among 32 analysts surveyed, there is significant divergence in forecasts: 4 expect the economy to continue contracting, while 5 believe the growth rate will reach 1% or higher. The Japanese Cabinet Office will release preliminary data on Friday. This data may prompt the Central Bank of Japan to maintain its policy path for another rate hike this year—as long as authorities are confident that they can withstand the ongoing pressure of US trade policies on global business with resilient domestic demand.

Jin10 data August 7th news, Ebury strategist Matthew Ryan stated in a report that the Bank of England's cautious stance on interest rate cuts during Thursday's meeting is a double-edged sword for the pound.

EFG Asset Management analyst Joaquin Thul stated in a report that the Central Bank of the UK may remain cautious as it expects inflation to reach twice the 2.0% target level by September.

Jin10 data, August 7th report: Fitch's chief economist Brian Coulton stated that policymakers at the Bank of England seem generally willing to keep interest rates within a restrictive range. He mentioned in a report that the vote to lower the benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 4% passed with a margin of 5 votes to 4, and cannot truly be described as a dovish rate cut, even though rate setter Allen Taylor initially pushed for a 50 basis points cut. The message from the Bank of England emphasizes the increasing risks of rising medium-term inflation prospects, as well as the potential for rising food prices to boost household inflation expectations. Despite clearer evidence showing that the labor market is weakening and wage pressures are easing, we do not expect another rate cut before November.

Jin10 Data reported on August 7 that the Bank of England Governor Bailey stated that consumers are more cautious than policymakers had expected. "Consumers appear to be more cautious than we had anticipated, and the broader downside risks to economic activity, along with the risks of sudden adverse developments in the labor market, may have exacerbated this perception. Food and energy prices are very important to consumers and often have a greater impact on inflation expectations than other prices, so we must be very careful to avoid any additional second-round effects on wage and price setting in the economy."

MHA economic adviser Joe Nellis stated that the Bank of England has slightly lowered the Benchmark Interest Rate, reflecting a concern for economic rise and rising unemployment rates.

The Bank of England reiterated its gradual and cautious interest rate cut strategy and hinted that rate cuts may soon come to an end, stating that the monetary policy has become less restrictive. This is a blow to the Chancellor and the Prime Minister, as they are committed to accelerating economic growth. Bailey believes that the interest rate cut decision was made after balanced consideration.

Jin10 reported on August 6 that Pictet Asset Management strategists stated in a report that there is a risk of depreciation for the yen against the dollar. They mentioned that political and economic uncertainties could put pressure on the yen. Last month's Senate elections in Japan increased the risk of a hung parliament. Concerns over potential increases in public borrowing are also putting pressure on government bonds. This could prompt the Central Bank of Japan to withdraw its quantitative easing policy, which would be unfavorable for the yen. They indicated that the dollar's weakness so far this year has also been somewhat excessive, and therefore it should experience a period of consolidation.

Jin10 Data August 6th News, Ebury strategist Matthew Ryan said in a report that the reaction of the British pound to the UK Central Bank's meeting on Thursday depends on the voting ratio of the interest rate decision and the Central Bank's guidance on future interest rates. He expects the UK Central Bank to decide to cut interest rates by 25 basis points with a 7 to 2 voting result. However, if UK Central Bank policymakers Dingra and/or Taylor vote to cut interest rates by 50 basis points as they did in May, that would not be a big surprise. He said this could trigger a selling of the pound, and the Central Bank's gradual cautious guidance on interest rate cuts would also be canceled.

Jin10 data reported on August 6, the International Group stated that after recent appreciation, the Czech koruna still has room for a pump, as the Central Bank of the Czech Republic may signal during Thursday's meeting that interest rates will remain high. Data released on Tuesday showed that the inflation rate in the Czech Republic slightly fell from 2.9% in June to 2.7% in July, but this did not change the Central Bank's cautious stance on interest rate cuts.

Jin10 data reported on August 6, the European Central Bank board member Holzmann stated: "At the last meeting, most of us agreed that monetary policy now needs to be primarily robust. After several rate cuts, we are currently at an expansionary level. For Europe and even globally, the neutral interest rate is likely to rise again, so our prudent approach is to keep rates unchanged, waiting for further economic developments, rather than trying to meet market expectations. We are not currently in a tightening state and should not react solely to short-term developments."

Jin10 data reported on August 5th that, according to foreign media analysis, the USD/INR hit a historic high of 88.03 on Tuesday, slightly above the 88 peak set in February this year. At that time, the Indian Central Bank intervened aggressively to curb the rise of the USD/INR in February. However, there are currently almost no signs of large-scale selling of dollars like there were at that time. Since February, the Indian Central Bank has lowered interest rates and built foreign exchange reserves to support the USD/INR. The new high reached by the USD/INR on Tuesday may not be the last time, as the currency pair could continue to test 88.25 or even 90.16.
