Macquarie Bank global strategists Thierry Wizman and Gareth Berry stated in a report that it is still too early to have high expectations for a "peace agreement" in the Middle East to be reached in the coming days, as the demands from both sides still seem difficult to reconcile. The idea of getting the U.S. to abandon its demands regarding Iran's nuclear assets, or that the U.S. would simply withdraw its bases in the Gulf region, is unrealistic.At this stage, it is also unlikely to see Iran abandon its support for its proxy forces. However, this war is unlikely to last beyond mid-April, as by then the threat from Iran is likely to be eliminated. Once the threat is removed, the U.S. will hold the upper hand in any subsequent negotiations.

According to Jin Shi reports, the Financial Times analysis pointed out that the U.S. non-farm payroll report to be released next Tuesday will include data from October and November, ultimately providing policymakers and investors with a more complete picture of the U.S. labor market, ending months of partial blind flying. The Federal Reserve lowered interest rates to a three-year low after a meeting this week marked by significant divisions, with several officials dissenting, focusing on whether to prioritize addressing high inflation or a weak job market.Citigroup economists noted that the upcoming employment report may release more contradictory signals. The bank expects a decrease of about 45,000 jobs in October, but an increase of 80,000 in November.Citigroup economists stated that this rebound may be more related to seasonal data adjustments rather than a "real improvement in worker demand." They also predict that the unemployment rate will rise from 4.4% to 4.52%, while a Reuters survey of economists shows the unemployment rate at 4.4%. The Federal Reserve's own quarterly forecast indicates that the median unemployment rate is about 4.5% by the end of this year.

According to a report by Wall Street News, analysts from Goldman Sachs' Fixed Income, Currency and Commodities (FICC) division believe that a rate cut by the Federal Reserve at the upcoming December meeting has basically become a foregone conclusion.Analysts point out that, based on the weak trends in the labor market and the need for risk management, a rate cut at this time is the correct policy choice, and market pricing has fully reflected this expectation.Comments made by Williams last Friday are sufficient to indicate that there is enough support within the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to push for a rate cut. As a result, market pricing has rebounded to 21 basis points. With the Federal Reserve officially entering its quiet period, the probability of a rate cut indicated by market pricing has reached as high as 85%.
