Bond traders consider the risk that the US financial authorities will retreat from observing interest rate cuts by the end of the year, accumulate short US bonds, and purchase derivatives (financial derivatives) to prepare for a sharp drop in market prices. At the FOMC meetings on the 19th and 20th, it is almost certain that policy interest rates will remain unchanged, but from transaction data, it can be seen that there is a growing view that new interest rate predictions showing an even more cautious stance on monetary easing will be shown.

US wins industry with drastic relaxation to announce final rules for EV fuel efficiency conversion = related sources
The U.S. Department of Energy will announce the final rules on fuel efficiency conversion for electric vehicles (EVs) on the 19th. It is said that the details of the original plan will be drastically relaxed. This decision was a victory for the three major US automobile companies and the American Auto Workers Union. Regarding the original plan, there were concerns that the manufacturer did not meet fuel efficiency standards and could be fined 10.5 billion dollars by 2032. According to the final rule, it is expected that standards can be met with less EV production than this. It also seems to be a tailwind for plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHVs).

The dollar and yen rose to the 151.58 level at one point, the high level since November 14 last year
Early in the morning in London, the dollar and yen were bought to the 151.58 level at one point. The price level has been high since November 14 last year. Cross yen has also been bought in general, and yen selling pressure continues. The Bank of Japan's cancellation of negative interest rates has sufficiently penetrated the market, and Bank of Japan Governor Ueda has indicated that the easing stance continues. Interest rates will not be raised steadily for the time being, and if the US policy interest rate seems to remain high for a while, it is likely that the trend of yen sales and dollar purchases based on the Japan-US interest rate difference will continue. However, before that, it is necessary to check the details of the US FOMC results later.
