Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
OCBC's daily outlook flags a hawkish Fed after a unanimous 25bp hike, with the 10-year UST near 5.00% and markets pricing two more hikes by year-end. Focus shifts to the 24 September Trump-Xi talks, where a framework to cut tariffs on about $30bn of goods and Chinese LNG purchases are under discussion. China left LPRs unchanged at 3.00% and 3.50%, while the PBOC set its firmest fixing in years at 6.7521. Singapore August core CPI is expected to accelerate to 2.2% y/y.

Key arguments
- Fed hiked 25bp unanimously; markets price two more hikes by year-end despite the move already being priced in.
- Trump-Xi meeting on 24 September may extend the trade truce expiring 10 November and deliver a ~$30bn reciprocal tariff cut.
- RMB strengthened ahead of the summit, with USD/CNY below 6.70 and the PBOC fixing at its firmest in years.
- RBA Governor Bullock warned upside inflation risks are materialising, citing Middle East conflict, AI investment and weather.
Key numbers
- 10-year UST yield
- ~5.00% (+6.57bp)
- 2-year UST yield
- 4.74% (+7.92bp)
- Potential tariff-cut package
- ~$30bn of goods
- China 1Y/5Y LPR
- 3.00% / 3.50% (unchanged)
- Singapore August core CPI forecast
- 2.2% y/y (from 2.0%)
Main risks
- Trump signed legislation broadening powers to tariff countries buying Russian oil and gas, potentially raising energy and trade costs for China and India.
- Renewed hawkish Fed commentary (Schmid, Goolsbee) could reinforce tightening expectations and pressure front-end yields further.
- Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline attack drove North Sea crude premiums to record highs, adding energy market uncertainty.
Corresponding source evidence
US President Trump also signed legislation giving him substantially broader powers to impose tariffs on countries buying Russian oil and gas, potentially raising the cost of energy and trade for China and India in particular.
Separately China also left the one- and five-year LPRs unchanged at 3.00% and 3.50% respectively.
more importantly, a heavy schedule of Fed speakers could reinforce the hawkish message.
