According to BlockBeats, there is speculation that the Bank of Japan may raise interest rates this month, yet market participants continue to bet on the yen's weakness. Traders from Bank of America, Nomura Holdings, and RBC Capital Markets indicate that investor positions reflect this sentiment. Citigroup's "pain index" for the yen remains in negative territory, highlighting ongoing negative sentiment towards the currency. Despite Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda hinting at a possible rate hike and reports suggesting the central bank is prepared to act if the economy or financial markets remain stable, investors maintain a bearish outlook on the yen. This is attributed to the expectation that Japan's yields will remain significantly lower than those in the U.S., favoring the dollar. Ivan Stamenkovic, Head of G-10 Currency Trading for Asia-Pacific at Bank of America, stated, "Positions still favor a rise in USD/JPY by year-end unless the Bank of Japan delivers a genuine surprise." He added that Ueda's hawkish remarks have sparked discussions about the currency pair, but there has been no substantial shift in market sentiment.

The cryptocurrency market is currently extremely divided. Some are proclaiming that "a bear market is inevitable, and a crash a year after the peak is imminent," while others are focusing on genuine market signals.

According to BlockBeats, despite the market's anticipation of another interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve, which has driven U.S. stocks close to historical highs, the real catalyst for the bull market in stocks and other risk assets may not be interest rates. The key factor could be how the Federal Reserve manages its substantial balance sheet and whether it injects new liquidity into the market. Last Friday, the global rates strategy team at Bank of America expressed their expectation that the Federal Reserve will announce this week a plan to purchase Treasury bills with maturities of one year or less at a monthly pace of $45 billion starting in January, as part of its "reserve management operations." Others believe that more time might be needed and that the Federal Reserve may not need to take extensive actions to keep the market running smoothly. Roger Hallam, global head of rates at Vanguard Fixed Income Group, anticipates that the Federal Reserve will begin purchasing Treasury bills at a monthly rate of $15 billion to $20 billion by the end of the first quarter or early second quarter next year. Kelly from PineBridge expects the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by 25 basis points on December 10, bringing the policy rate to a range of 3.5%-3.75%, moving closer to the historical neutral rate of around 3% aimed at maintaining economic stability.

The foreign exchange market is not at all the "currency exchange market" I thought it was. To be more precise, most of the massive daily trading volume of $7.5 trillion is not "currency exchange" at all—but rather a vast and invisible global dollar lending network.
