On October 27th, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) held its first meeting since loose monetary policy advocate Sanae Takaichi became prime minister on Thursday, with the bank widely expected to hold interest rates steady. Of the 50 Bank of Japan (BOJ) observers surveyed, only 10% expected the central bank to raise borrowing costs from 0.5% after the two-day meeting. Last month, over a third expected action at this weeks meeting. Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda and his committee are searching for the right moment to raise borrowing costs to their highest level since 1995, and Takaichis presence exacerbates their decision-making difficulties. "The BOJ will hold its ground," said Shinichiro Kobayashi, chief economist at Mitsubishi UFJ. "They wont say it explicitly, but because of Takaichi, theyre having to wait and see." What is clear is that market expectations for a rate hike this week are very low, meaning a surprise hike could shock financial markets. Kobayashi noted, "If the BOJ raises rates this time, theres a risk of market volatility."International Energy Agency Executive Director Fatih Birol said that by 2030, global renewable energy installed capacity will fall 1 terawatt short of the target of tripling it.According to Yonhap News Agency: Kevin Kim has been officially appointed as the acting U.S. ambassador to South Korea.Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara: Foreign exchange has both positive and negative effects on the economy.Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara: We are closely monitoring excessive and disorderly fluctuations in the foreign exchange market.

Gold Price Prediction: The XAU/USD pair approaches $1,880 following a robust comeback amid weaker US yields

During the Asian session, the gold price (XAU/USD) has renewed its daily high above $1,880.00. As market participants' risk appetite has increased, the gold price has climbed sharply higher after recovering from $1,872.00. The precious metal is anticipated to extend its uptrend over $1,880.00 with confidence, as lower US Treasury yields have mitigated the risk-averse inclination.

 

The yields on 10-year US Treasury bonds have decreased to approximately 3.61 percent. S&P500 futures have rebounded in the Asian session following a decline on Wednesday. The expectation that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will not be aggressive in the future in hiking interest rates supports the 500-US stock index.

 

In the meantime, the US Dollar Index (DXY) is battling to maintain above 103.00, despite the fact that the market has begun anticipating a Fed interest rate rise above 5%.

 

Jamie Dimon, chief executive officer of JPMorgan Chase & Co., advised against prematurely declaring victory against inflation, saying that the Federal Reserve could hike interest rates above 5% if higher prices become "sticky," as reported by Reuters. He stated that Fed Chair Jerome Powell must exceed 5% if inflation does not fall to between 3.5% and 4%.
