This marks the index\u2019s biggest weekly gain since November 2008. Meanwhile, Hong Kong\u2019s Hang Seng Index (HSI) is set for a 12.85% weekly gain, its best performance since February 1998.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Friday, the CSI 300 rose almost 4%, and the HSI climbed 3.5%, following the PBOC&#8217;s decision to cut its 7-day reverse repurchase rate to 1.5% from 1.7% and reduce the reserve requirement ratio for financial institutions by 0.5 percentage points. The central bank aims to support stable economic growth and high-quality development. However, industrial profit data for August showed a 17.8% decline year-on-year, following a 4.1% increase in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elsewhere in Asia, Japan\u2019s Nikkei 225 gained 1.81% despite Tokyo\u2019s inflation rate easing to 2.2% in September, down from 2.6% in August. The core inflation rate was 2%, as expected. The yen weakened against the U.S. dollar as Japan&#8217;s ruling party prepared to elect a new prime minister, with Sanae Takaichi, an advocate for dovish monetary policies, leading the race. South Korea&#8217;s Kospi fell 0.21%, and Australia&#8217;s S&amp;P\/ASX 200 rose slightly, nearing its all-time high.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the U.S., major indexes rose, with the S&amp;P 500 hitting a new record, buoyed by positive economic data and a stable labor market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Upcoming Events:&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>12:30 PM GMT &#8211; CAD GDP m\/m<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>12:30 PM GMT &#8211; USD Core PCE Price Index m\/m<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Global Markets: News &amp; Data: Markets Update: Chinese markets are poised [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":71231,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[196],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-67620","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fundamental-analysis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets-vnk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67620","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets-vnk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets-vnk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets-vnk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets-vnk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=67620"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets-vnk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67620\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":67624,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets-vnk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67620\/revisions\/67624"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets-vnk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/71231"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets-vnk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=67620"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets-vnk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=67620"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icmarkets-vnk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=67620"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
