Before the Bank of Japan's policy meeting, it released chaotic signals. Japanese traders were confused about when to raise interest rates. After the Bank of Japan officials' remarks and media reports sent different signals, traders have been confused about when the central bank might raise interest rates in the past week.

The overnight index swap pricing showed that the probability of raising interest rates in December was 22%, which was significantly lower than 60% at the beginning of last week. This week, the yen fell from 150 last Friday to a low of 152.18 to the dollar, and the exchange rate was 151.73 at 10:40 Tokyo time.

Tomaki Nakamura, a member of the Dove Policy Committee, said last week that he was not opposed to raising interest rates, but this month's policy decision must consider data factors.Huawei and Bank of Zhengzhou signed a strategic cooperation agreement.

A new batch of rotation personnel had arrived at the handover point safely before. The statement also said that at the time of the incident, the driver of another official car of the International Atomic Energy Agency saw a suicide drone flying from the rear and hitting the attacked vehicle.
