Summary of the lead morning meeting:

Macro:

It is reported that the Federal Reserve (Federal Reserve) announced its third interest rate cut this year, reducing the target range of policy interest rates to 1.50%-1.75% to help maintain US economic growth at a time when the rest of the world is slowing. However, the Federal Reserve hinted that it would not cut interest rates further unless the economic situation worsened. In a statement issued in parallel with the rate cut decision, the Fed deleted the phrase "appropriate action will be taken" to maintain economic expansion, which was once seen as a sign of future interest rate cuts.

The slowdown in US economic growth in the third quarter was smaller than expected, as further contraction in business investment was offset by the resilience of consumer spending, further alleviating fears of recession in the financial markets. The initial annualized (GDP) growth rate in the third quarter was 1.9%, as the pace of enterprise inventory growth was stable and exports grew. The real estate market rebounded after six consecutive quarters of contraction. Consumer spending, which accounts for more than 2/3 of US economic activity, slowed to 2.9 per cent in the third quarter, still sound.
