On August 20, Jin10 reported that the Central Bank of Israel has maintained interest rates for the 13th consecutive time, cautiously weighing the economic slowdown against the ongoing uncertainty brought about by the Gaza conflict. On Wednesday, the bank kept the benchmark interest rate at 4.5%, in line with market expectations. The day before this decision, Prime Minister Netanyahu's cabinet approved a budget increase equivalent to about 1.5% of GDP to cover war expenses. This year's revised budget added 30 billion shekels (about 8.8 billion USD) in defense spending, raising the estimated fiscal deficit from 4.9% to 5.2%. Israel plans to take control of Gaza City in the coming weeks, a move that will require the mobilization of tens of thousands of reserve soldiers and may further exacerbate supply chain tensions. A new ceasefire proposal put forward by Egypt and Qatar, which has been accepted by Hamas, could delay or even cancel the aforementioned plans. However, Israel has not yet clarified whether it is willing to cease fire immediately.

Jin10 data reported on August 20th that TD Securities strategists stated that the latest interest rate cut by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand was within market expectations, but what surprised the market was the implication that further cuts are expected in the future. Prashant Newnaha wrote: "We will not ignore this signal." He pointed out that two committee members voted for a 50 basis point cut, and this dovish shift occurred while the acting governor still judged the likelihood of inflation exceeding 3% this year to be 50/50. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand's confidence in the existence of idle capacity in the New Zealand economy may have been strengthened by labor market data significantly below May expectations. Even in the face of rising inflation risks, the Reserve Bank appears determined to move towards further interest rate cuts. As a result, TD Securities has adjusted its forecast, now expecting the Reserve Bank of New Zealand to cut rates by 25 basis points in both October and November, with a terminal interest rate reaching 2.50%.

Jin10 data reports on August 20, the UK government bonds rebounded strongly on Wednesday, with the 10-year yield ending a four-day streak of rises. The yield is heading towards its largest drop in a month. The inflation report had little impact on this year's rate cut expectations, but bets on further cuts next year have increased. Swap contracts currently imply about a 75% probability of the interest rate being lowered to 3.5% by the end of next year, a shift that partly explains the movement of UK government bonds. Macro strategist Conor Cooper said: "Many still believe that regardless of inflation, the Bank of England will eventually lower rates to below 3.75%. If the Bank of England is forced to maintain tight policy in the short term to ensure inflation is controlled, then the already troubled economy will bear even greater pressure, ultimately requiring a faster pace of rate cuts than previously envisioned after inflation stabilizes. This is favourable information for UK government bonds and may also be a factor that traders will consider when interpreting UK inflation data in the coming months."

According to Citco data, hedge funds have achieved positive returns for 11 consecutive quarters, and their resilience in market turmoil (such as the tariff shocks in April) is seen as a key factor in attracting new investors. Demand for large multi-strategy hedge funds like Millennium Management and Citadel remains strong, with many such firms closing their doors to new investors.

Jin10 data reported on August 20th, gold futures rose, reversing the decline from the previous trading day. David Morrison from Trade Nation noted in the report that gold has maintained a range fluctuation for about the past 10 weeks. Traders may be closely following the dollar's movements, as significant changes in the dollar could serve as a catalyst for gold to break through the current range. A weaker dollar makes gold, priced in dollars, cheaper for international buyers, while also weakening the competition between the dollar and gold in terms of safe-haven attributes, thereby increasing the demand for gold. Morrison stated that factors that could trigger dollar fluctuations include the Fed meeting minutes to be released on Wednesday, and more likely Powell's speech on Friday at Jackson Hole.
