At the end of the Asian market on Monday (December 18), Chicago Federal Reserve Bank President Goolsbee stated last Sunday that it was too early to announce the Fed's victory in fighting inflation, and the decision to cut interest rates would be based on upcoming economic data. We have made great progress in 2023, but I still warn everyone that this is not yet completed. Market interpretation of Goolsbee's hawkish speech, specific policies depend on this week's inflation data. The US dollar index rebounded last Friday, but did not form an upward efficiency structure. At the opening of the Asian market today, the US dollar index adjusted slightly and is currently priced around 102.48. Affected by the expected fundamental data, gold fell sharply last Friday and broke through the previous support level, ultimately closing near the intraday low. At the opening of the Asian market today, gold rebounded and consolidated, with the current price around 2021.60. Affected by the current political situation, US crude oil has recently experienced a significant pullback. Last Friday, US crude oil adjusted at the high point of the pullback. At the opening of the Asian market today, US crude oil saw a slight correction, with the current price around 72.31. Affected by fundamental expectations, EURUSD saw a significant price correction in the market last Friday and broke through past support levels, ultimately closing near the intraday low. At the opening of the Asian market today, EURUSD saw an upward correction and is currently quoted around 1.0915. The Bank of Japan will hold a monetary policy meeting from December 18 to 19 local time. The market expects that the Bank of Japan's short-term interest rate target will remain unchanged at -0.1%, and the benchmark 10-year Japanese bond yield target will remain around 0.It is worth noting that the market is generally focused on whether the Bank of Japan will adjust its policy wording or directly adjust its yield curve control and negative interest rate policy during the interest rate resolution and press conference released on the December 19, further shifting towards hawkishness. USDJPY stopped falling and adjusted last weekend. At the opening of the Asian market today, USDJPY continued to consolidate, with a current price around 142.32.
