Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell indicated last week that the central bank might conclude its balance sheet reduction in the coming months, signaling a dovish stance. Meanwhile, Bank of Japan Deputy Governor Shinichi Uchida stated that if economic and price trends align with expectations, the BOJ will continue its rate hikes. This week, attention turns to the Federal Reserve's payment innovation conference and the release of the U.S. September CPI data, which are expected to provide further insights into economic conditions.
