BOJ Expected to Signal Less Dovish Stance as US Recession Concerns Fade
The Bank of Japan (BOJ) is likely to maintain its ultra-low interest rates while hinting at a less dovish policy outlook, as fears of a US recession subside. This move aims to prevent excessive yen depreciation by discouraging speculators.
Although the BOJ ended its decade-long stimulus in March and hinted at gradual rate hikes, it had to soften its approach following a July hike that caused market turbulence.
Tesla Shares Surge 22% Following Strong Q3 Profits
Tesla’s stock ($TSLA) soared by 22% — marking one of its best performances in recent years — after reporting a significant profit increase for Q3. The company anticipates up to 30% growth in car sales next year with plans to launch new models.
Tesla revealed it earned $2.2 billion from July to September, up from $1.9 billion in the same period last year. Revenue reached $25.2 billion, compared to $23.4 billion the previous year. However, Tesla cautioned investors to expect only “modest growth” in vehicle deliveries this year.
Gold Price Shows Downward Trend Near $2,725 Amid Market Pressure
Gold prices ($XAUUSD) maintain their upward momentum, consolidating within a familiar range after reaching a new high of $2,759. The market outlook is influenced by expectations of a milder Fed policy shift and concerns surrounding the US presidential elections, coupled with ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
Additionally, US corporate earnings reports are impacting risk sentiment, affecting both the safe-haven appeal of the US Dollar and Gold prices.
The $GBPUSD pair recovers ground, trading above 1.2950 as it faces volatility amid UK economic reports. Despite the latest PMI figures showing a decline to 51.7 in October from 52.6 in September, the pair remains supported. The US Dollar's strength and rising US Treasury yields continue to weigh on the pound, but sentiment could shift if risk appetite improves later.
This concludes our weekly recap. Have a great weekend and see you next week! 👋
