Powell’s dovish comments are driving gains across the Asia-Pacific region, although U.S.–China tensions continue to restrain sentiment. The strongest gains are seen in Japan and China indices (JP225: +1.6%, CHN.cash: +0.9%, HK.cash: +0.75%).

Consumer prices in China fell more sharply than expected in September on a monthly basis (-0.3% m/m, Bloomberg consensus: -0.2%, previous: -0.4%), while PPI deflation slowed in line with expectations (-2.9% y/y, previous: -3.6%). The largest price drops were recorded mainly in the most volatile categories—food and energy—which offset increases in jewelry and other goods. The deflationary pressure reflects subdued consumer demand, overproduction, and uncertainty regarding ongoing trade negotiations. On the other hand, core CPI rose by 1%, the highest since February 2024, softening the overall deflationary tone of the data.
