According to ChainCatcher, Nomura Securities' Chief Economist for Asia, excluding Japan, Robert Subbaraman, anticipates that the U.S. economy will maintain robust growth, with a projected growth rate of 2.5% in the first half of 2026. This outlook is attributed to ongoing investments in artificial intelligence and fiscal expansion. Subbaraman expects the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates unchanged in December, with a baseline view of rate cuts in March, June, and September of 2026. Consumer inflation is likely to remain around 3%, but could rise if financial conditions and liquidity improve.

According to Odaily, three Japanese government sources have indicated that the Bank of Japan is likely to raise interest rates in December, a move the government is expected to tolerate. The central bank appears prepared to increase the policy rate from 0.5% to 0.75%, as signaled by Governor Kazuo Ueda in a speech on Monday. This would mark the first rate hike since January of this year. One source stated, "If the Bank of Japan wants to raise rates this month, they should decide for themselves. This is the government's stance." The source added that a rate hike this month is almost certain. Ueda mentioned on Monday that the central bank would weigh the "pros and cons" of a rate increase this month, suggesting a strong possibility of a hike during the December 18-19 meeting. These remarks have led the market to price in an 80% chance of a December rate hike, although some market participants are watching how the dovish government of Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi might respond. The market's focus may shift to the central bank's language regarding the extent to which rates will eventually be raised, a topic on which Ueda remains ambiguous.
