Overview of Key Events This Week<\/p>\n

The 2025 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Informal Leaders’ Meeting will be held in Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang Province, South Korea, from October 31 to November 1. The leaders of China and the United States will travel to South Korea.<\/p>\n

On October 24, regarding whether the leaders of China and the United States will hold a meeting during the APEC summit, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun stated that both sides are maintaining close communication on the matter. Further updates will be released by China in a timely manner if available.<\/p>\n

On October 30, the Federal Reserve will hold its interest rate meeting. The market widely anticipates a 25-basis-point rate cut, which would lower the federal funds rate to a range of 3.75%\u20134.00%, particularly after recent U.S. inflation data came in below expectations.<\/p>\n

Despite ongoing concerns in the market that tariffs could increase inflationary pressures, recent signs of weakness in the U.S. labor market have fully priced in expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut. Analysts at Allianz Research noted in their report: ‘Persistent softness in the labor market remains the Fed’s primary concern.’<\/p>\n

Investors will focus on the Federal Reserve\u2019s wording in its statement following the decision to glean signals on the magnitude and pace of future rate cuts. Data from the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) shows that U.S. money markets have fully priced in expectations of another Federal Reserve rate cut in December.<\/p>\n

According to CCTV News, following consultations between China and the United States, He Lifeng, member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and Vice Premier of the State Council, will lead a delegation to Malaysia from October 24 to 27 to hold economic and trade consultations with the U.S. side. Both parties will conduct discussions on key issues in Sino-U.S. economic and trade relations based on the important consensuses reached during the leaders\u2019 multiple phone calls this year.<\/p>\n

The 2025 Financial Street Forum Annual Meeting opens, with key officials from ‘One Bank, Two Bureaus, and One Commission’ delivering keynote speeches.<\/p>\n

The 2025 Financial Street Forum Annual Meeting will be held from October 27 to 30 at Beijing’s Financial Street, featuring keynote speeches by key officials from ‘One Bank, Two Bureaus, and One Commission.’ The event is jointly organized by the Beijing Municipal Government, the People\u2019s Bank of China, the National Financial Supervisory Administration, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, Xinhua News Agency, and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange.<\/p>\n

As the U.S. federal government remains shut down, Allianz estimates this could have reduced the annualized GDP growth rate for Q4 by 0.45 percentage points. Official economic data releases continue to be delayed, including September durable goods orders, Q3 GDP, weekly initial jobless claims, and September personal consumption expenditure (PCE) inflation figures. Investor attention will shift to the October Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index, scheduled for release on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
