The yen's low - level volatility and geopolitical factors also affect the market.

The US federal government debt exceeded $38 trillion, and the 22 - day government shutdown provided potential safe - haven support. The tariff situation is likely to be stable, and most Fed voters support a loose path. The 10 - month FOMC meeting is likely to cut rates by 25 basis points. The yen's low - level volatility and geopolitical factors affect the market [8].
