Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
The Fed raised its target range by 25bp to 3.75-4.00% with all 12 voters backing the move on elevated inflation, and the September dot plot lifted the 2026 median to 4.1% from 3.8%. The BOJ raised its policy target to 1.25% with seven in favour and two dissenting, citing risk that underlying inflation exceeds 2%. Singapore's energy price surge and softer re-entry rates, plus China's Trump-Xi speculation, round out the week.

Main risks

- Singapore retrenchment incidence rose to 2.0 per 1,000 employees and six-month re-entry fell to 54.9%, signalling harder re-employment.
- Weekend attacks on Saudi Arabia keep supply and geopolitical risks alive, potentially limiting near-term downside in oil prices.
