Before the Bank of Japan's policy meeting, it released chaotic signals. Japanese traders were confused about when to raise interest rates. After the Bank of Japan officials' remarks and media reports sent different signals, traders have been confused about when the central bank might raise interest rates in the past week. This kind of confusion led to sharp fluctuations in the market's interest rate hike bets. The overnight index swap pricing showed that the probability of raising interest rates in December was 22%, which was significantly lower than 60% at the beginning of last week. This week, the yen fell from 150 last Friday to a low of 152.18 to the dollar, and the exchange rate was 151.73 at 10:40 Tokyo time.

Tomaki Nakamura, a member of the Dove Policy Committee, said last week that he was not opposed to raising interest rates, but this month's policy decision must consider data factors.Argentine President Millay vowed to abolish capital and foreign exchange controls. Argentine President Millay promised to abolish capital and foreign exchange controls next year, and his government intends to negotiate a free trade agreement with the United States after Trump takes office. The difference between the black market exchange rate and the official exchange rate in Argentina has been narrowing, and even nearly disappeared in recent weeks, which helps the government to deregulate more easily. Millay announced that in order to solve the debt mountain problem of the central bank, Argentina will either sign a new agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to replace the existing $44 billion agreement or reach an agreement with private investors. "This brings us closer to the final abolition of capital control every day. Capital control is an abnormal phenomenon that should not have happened, and we will put a permanent end to it next year," Millay said in a national televised speech on Tuesday, accompanied by cabinet members. Millay said that from now on, Argentines will be allowed to pay, sell and earn income in any currency they want, but the peso will continue to be used for tax payment. Earlier on Tuesday, Millay said it would take four years to close the central bank, one of his main campaign promises.Jingmen, the Yiwei Lithium Energy Super Energy Storage Factory, was put into operation, with the largest production capacity in Central China.
