          IC Markets Asia Fundamental Forecast | 07 October 2025

          IC Markets

          Economic

          Commodity

          Forex

          Summary:

          Shutdown-driven data blackout kept traders focused on Fed communications while haven demand pushed gold above $3,900, oil firmed on a small OPEC+ hike, Treasury yields nudged up, and equity futures stayed positive.

          What happened in the U.S. session?

          Shutdown-driven data blackout kept traders focused on Fed communications while haven demand pushed gold above $3,900, oil firmed on a small OPEC+ hike, Treasury yields nudged up, and equity futures stayed positive; the biggest movers were gold, WTI, U.S. Treasuries, U.S. stock futures, and Bitcoin under the same macro narrative.

          What does it mean for the Asia Session?

          Tuesday’s Asian market trading will be guided by macro events such as the RBNZ rate decision, ongoing Japanese political changes, and updates from the ECB’s Lagarde later in the day. The US government shutdown continues to delay major economic releases, sustaining a cautious yet volatile trading environment across risk assets and major FX pairs.

          The Dollar Index (DXY)

          The US Dollar starts the week consolidating after robust gains, with global risk sentiment, Fed policy outlook, and geopolitical uncertainties all playing major roles. The balance of strong data, slowing labor momentum, and persistent inflation will dictate the Dollar’s performance, with an eye on upcoming Fed statements and global event risks.

          Central Bank Notes:

          ● The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) voted, by majority, to lower the federal funds rate target range by 25 basis points to 4.00%–4.25% at its September 16–17, 2025, meeting, marking the first policy rate adjustment since December 2024 after five consecutive holds.
          ● The Committee maintained its long-term objective of achieving maximum employment and 2% inflation, acknowledging recent labor market softening and continued tariff-driven price pressures.
          ● Policymakers expressed elevated concern about downside risks to growth, citing a stalling labor market, modest job creation, and an unemployment rate drifting up toward 4.4%. At the same time, inflation remains above target, with CPI at 3.2% and core inflation at 3.1% as of August 2025; higher energy and food prices, largely attributable to tariffs, continue to weigh on headline measures.
          ● Although economic activity expanded at a moderate pace in the third quarter, the growth outlook has weakened. Q3 GDP growth is estimated near 1.0% (annualized), with full-year 2025 GDP growth guidance revised to 1.2%, reflecting slowing household consumption and tighter financial conditions.
          ● In the updated Summary of Economic Projections, the unemployment rate is projected to average 4.5% for the year, with headline PCE inflation revised up slightly to 3.1% for 2025. The Committee anticipates core PCE inflation to remain stubborn, requiring sustained vigilance and a flexible approach to risk management.
          ● The Committee reiterated its data-dependent approach and openness to further adjustments should employment or inflation deviate meaningfully from current forecasts. Several members dissented, either advocating a larger 50-basis-point cut or preferring no adjustment at this meeting, revealing heightened divergence within the Committee.
          ● Balance sheet reduction continues at a measured pace. The monthly Treasury redemption cap remains at $5B and the agency MBS cap at $35B, as the Board aims to support orderly market conditions in the face of evolving global and domestic uncertainty.
          ● The next meeting is scheduled for 28 to 29 October 2025.

          Next 24 Hours Bias

          Weak Bullish

          Gold (XAU)

          Gold’s record-setting rally is backed by safe-haven flows and dovish monetary policy expectations, but extreme overbought signals suggest caution for traders as volatility could increase if economic or policy surprises occur. Gold prices have surged to record highs, trading just under $4,000 per ounce amid global economic and political uncertainty, strong safe-haven demand, and expectations of further U.S. interest rate cuts.Next 24 Hours BiasMedium Bullish

          The Australian Dollar (AUD)

          The Australian Dollar (AUD) is experiencing a mixture of stabilizing domestic factors and shifting global sentiment. The AUD/USD pair traded near 0.6593 on October 6, reflecting a marginal decline of 0.16% from the previous session and a 0.07% weakening over the past month. The currency remains range-bound, with technical resistance around 0.6610 and near-term targets above 0.6700 if global risk appetite holds.

          Central Bank Notes:

          ● The RBA held its cash rate steady at 3.60% at its October meeting on 29–30 September 2025, marking a second consecutive pause after August’s 25 basis point cut. The move affirms the Bank’s data-dependent approach as inflation continues to trend within the target range.
          ● Inflation indicators remained stable through September, with headline CPI likely anchoring near 2.2%—comfortably within the 2–3% band. Insurance and housing costs remain sticky but are increasingly offset by moderation in discretionary goods.
          ● Trimmed mean inflation is estimated at around 2.8%, signaling underlying pressures remain contained. The Board continues to flag food and energy price volatility as short-term risks, though the broader disinflation narrative holds.
          ● Global conditions remain a source of uncertainty. U.S. policy expectations and uneven growth in China continue to weigh on commodities, even as trade disruptions have eased marginally since mid-year.
          ● Domestic growth shows resilience in the housing and services sectors, though manufacturing remains subdued. Household incomes have stabilized, but consumption remains only modest, capped by high borrowing costs.
          ● The labor market maintains relative tightness, though job growth has slowed notably since the first half of the year. Underutilization has ticked higher, but overall employment conditions remain supportive.
          ● Wage growth is plateauing, reflecting softer labour demand. Weak productivity continues to keep unit labour costs elevated, underscoring a medium-term concern highlighted repeatedly by the RBA.
          ● Household consumption prospects remain fragile. The combination of high rents and weak discretionary appetite suggests risks of a consumer-led slowdown in Q4 if confidence fails to rebound.
          ● The Board reiterated that subdued household spending poses risks to business sentiment and may dampen investment and job creation in the coming quarters.
          ● Monetary policy remains mildly restrictive. The RBA balanced confidence in inflation progress with caution around global and domestic demand risks, keeping further adjustments conditional on incoming data.
          ● The Bank reaffirmed its dual commitment to price stability and full employment, noting its readiness to act should conditions shift markedly.
          ● The next meeting is on 5 to 6 November 2025.

          The Kiwi Dollar (NZD)

          The New Zealand Dollar is likely to remain muted today, focused on upcoming policy action and further economic releases, with traders watching for signs of either a confirmed breakout or deeper downside if sentiment sours further. The NZD remains under pressure as markets widely expect the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) to cut rates at its next meeting, with consensus predicting a reduction from 3.00% to 2.75%. This expectation has weighed on the currency, as cuts typically diminish investor appeal.Central Bank Notes:

          ● The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) agreed to cut the Official Cash Rate (OCR) by 25 basis points to 3.00% on 20 August 2025, marking a three-year low and continuing the easing cycle after July’s pause. The vote was split 4-2, with two members advocating a 50-basis-point cut, highlighting diverging views within the Committee.
          ● Policymakers indicated that significant uncertainty and a stalling economic recovery prompted this move, leaving the door open for further rate cuts later in the year, with a possible trough around 2.5% by December.
          ● Annual consumer price index inflation rose to 2.7% in the June quarter and is expected to reach 3% for the September quarter—at the upper end of the MPC’s 1 to 3% target band—but medium-term expectations remain anchored near the 2% midpoint.
          ● Despite the near-term uptick, headline inflation is projected to return toward 2% by mid-2026, as tradables inflation pressures ease and significant spare capacity continues to dampen domestic price momentum.
          ● Domestic financial conditions are broadly aligning with MPC expectations, as lower wholesale rates have translated into reduced borrowing costs for households. However, declining consumption and investment demand, higher unemployment, and subdued wage growth reflect ongoing economic slack.
          ● GDP growth stalled in the second quarter of 2025, contrasting with earlier projections. High-frequency indicators point to continued weakness driven by rising prices for essentials, weakening household savings, and constrained business lending.
          ● The MPC cautioned that ongoing global tariff uncertainties and policy shifts, especially recent changes in US trade regulations, could amplify market volatility and present both upside and downside risks to New Zealand’s recovery.
          ● Subject to medium-term inflation pressures continuing to ease as projected, the MPC signaled scope for further OCR cuts, possibly down to 2.5% by year-end, consistent with the latest Monetary Policy Statement outlook.
          ● The next meeting is on 22 October 2025.

          The Japanese Yen (JPY)

          The Japanese Yen is under strong selling pressure entering primarily driven by political developments with the new LDP leader Sanae Takaichi, who is seen as favoring fiscal stimulus and looser monetary policy. This has led to expectations that the Bank of Japan will hold back on interest rate hikes, contributing to yen depreciation against major currencies, especially the US dollar. The yen’s weakness is coupled with cautious bets on incoming monetary policy changes and a mixed outlook on USD/JPY movements with potential short-term rebounds but overall downward pressure in the coming days.Central Bank Notes:

          ● The Policy Board of the Bank of Japan decided on 17 September, by a unanimous vote, to set the following guidelines for money market operations for the inter-meeting period:
          ● The Bank will encourage the uncollateralized overnight call rate to remain at around 0.5%.
          ● The BOJ will continue its gradual reduction of monthly outright purchases of Japanese Government Bonds (JGBs). The scheduled amount of long-term government bond purchases remains unchanged from the prior decision, with a quarterly reduction pace of about ¥400 billion through March 2026 and about ¥200 billion per quarter from April to June 2026 onward, aiming for a purchase level near ¥2 trillion in January to March 2027.
          ● Japan’s economy continues to show a moderate recovery, with household consumption supported by rising incomes, although corporate activity has softened somewhat. Overseas economies remain on a moderate growth path, with the impact of global trade policies still weighing on Japan’s export and industrial production outlook.
          ● On the price front, the year-on-year rate of change in consumer prices (excluding fresh food) remains in the mid-3% range. Inflationary pressures remain broad-based, with persistent cost-push factors in food and energy, alongside solid wage pass-through. However, input cost pressures from past import surges are showing early signs of easing.
          ● Short-term inflation momentum may moderate as cost-push effects diminish, though rent increases and service-related price gains tied to labor shortages are likely to provide support. Inflation expectations among firms and households continue a gradual upward drift.
          ● Looking ahead, the economy is projected to grow at a slower-than-trend pace in the near term due to external demand softness and cautious corporate investment plans. However, accommodative financial conditions and steady increases in real labor income are expected to underpin domestic demand.
          ● In the medium term, as overseas economies recover and global trade stabilizes, Japan’s growth potential is likely to improve. With persistent labor market tightness and rising medium- to long-term inflation expectations, core inflation is projected to remain on a gradual upward trend, converging toward the 2% price stability target in the latter half of the projection horizon.
          ● The next meeting is scheduled for 30 to 31 October 2025.

          Oil

          The latest developments for the oil market on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, revolve around OPEC+ announcing a modest increase in oil production by 137,000 barrels per day starting in November, the same increase as in October. This cautious move helped oil prices rise about 1-1.5% on Monday after some concerns over a potential supply glut. Brent crude oil was trading around $65.30 per barrel, and U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude around $61.59 per barrel.Next 24 Hours BiasWeak Bullish
