Market sentiment was buoyed by shifting expectations for U.S. monetary policy. According to CME's FedWatch Tool, the probability of a 25-basis-point rate cut by the Federal Reserve in December rose to 85% as of 6:30 AM Beijing time on the 27th. In a notable reversal, J.P. Morgan economists revised their forecast, now predicting the Fed will initiate rate cuts in December rather than January as previously anticipated.
