The rate cut reinforces a dovish RBI stance, likely pressuring short-end yields and keeping INR biased weaker unless supported by flows. The possibility of another 25bp reduction anchors expectations for a near-term easing peak around 5%, with liquidity measures providing additional support for credit conditions.
The report boosts market conviction that the BOJ will resume tightening at the December meeting. Yen strength and softer JGB futures reflect expectations that the BOJ may pivot more decisively toward normalisation, though policymakers will watch data closely before confirming the move.
The PBOC’s shift toward a neutral fixing bias implies limited yuan upside in the near term, with authorities seeking to balance investor confidence against export competitiveness. A stable yuan into year-end reduces FX volatility risk but may cap appreciation trades unless macro conditions shift meaningfully.
The GBP/USD pair trades on a flat note near 1.3330 during the Asian trading hours on Friday. Traders prefer to wait on the sidelines ahead of the key US inflation report later on Friday.
The sharp miss underscores fragile consumer demand and may temper expectations for sustained BOJ tightening. While a December hike remains the base case, markets may pare back longer-term rate forecasts, supporting JGBs and weighing slightly on yen optimism.
The RBI’s tolerance for a weaker rupee signals reduced intervention risk and greater FX flexibility, but rising outflows and oil-driven import costs keep depreciation pressures alive. Equity inflows may stay cautious until external balances stabilise or clarity emerges on India-US trade and index-inclusion prospects. Softer US yields could provide limited relief.
The comments reinforce a steady policy backdrop ahead of a potential BOJ rate shift. Affirming BOJ autonomy reduces fears of political pressure, while the focus on fiscal sustainability helps anchor JGB markets, though vigilance toward yields and yen volatility remains key.
A unanimous hold signal reinforces stability in short-end pricing, but the shift toward a long pause — and rising chatter about possible hikes — may lend support to AUD and keep front-end yields firm. Markets will watch the December statement closely for any tightening bias as inflation pressures remain elevated.
Renewed wage pressure strengthens the narrative that Japan’s labour market is providing the “initial momentum” Governor Ueda says is necessary for sustainable inflation. Robust union demands into shuntō raise the probability of a December BOJ rate hike, supporting yen upside at the margin while keeping upward pressure on JGB yields. Markets will track how widely these wage requests are adopted across sectors.
Government backing removes a key hurdle for the BOJ’s December hike and reduces near-term policy risk. But without clarity on the eventual neutral rate, long-end JGBs remain vulnerable and yen volatility stays elevated. Forward guidance at the December meeting will be crucial for FX and rates positioning.

Gold (XAU/USD) is posting minor losses for the third consecutive day on Thursday, weighed by lower demand for safe havens amid a moderate risk appetite. The precious metal, however, remains supported above the mid-range of the $4,100s with the $4,264 high at a short distance.
