市场快评 - 关键一周：FOMC、欧洲央行与日本央行均将召开会议
Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
All three major central banks meet this week, with the Fed expected to hold while markets price a 77% chance of a December BoJ hike. Brent reversed below $117 to near $114 on hopes of Iran de-escalation, keeping crude volatility extreme. Gold steadied above $4,000 after a 4% weekly fall; bitcoin slipped toward $79,330 while spot ETF outflows reached about $773m. US PMI stayed strong but selling-price inflation hit its highest since August 2022.

- BoJ expected to hold at 1.25%, with December guidance key and 77% priced.
- Crude volatility is extreme: OVX at 60.02, 3.09x VIX, with Goldman warning supply tightness could extend into 2027.
