Core Viewpoint - The postponement of the EU's new carbon pricing system (ETS2) is expected to exert pressure on inflation forecasts and may reignite calls for further interest rate cuts in the market [1][4]. Group 1: Impact on Inflation - The delay in implementing ETS2 could lead to lower consumer price index (CPI) growth in the Eurozone by 2027 compared to current predictions, potentially resulting in inflation rates below the European Central Bank's (ECB) target of 2% for 2026 and 2027 [1][4]. - Danske Bank economists suggest that if ETS2 does not take effect by 2027, the extent of low inflation could be greater, providing a rationale for further rate cuts despite opposition from some officials [4]. - The ECB's latest quarterly forecast anticipates inflation rates of 1.7% and 1.9% for the next two years, with research indicating that ETS2 could raise inflation by 0.2 percentage points or more in 2027 [4][7].

Long - term Treasury Bonds - The central bank's third - quarter monetary policy implementation report states that in the next step, a moderately loose monetary policy will be implemented to keep social financing conditions relatively loose, while continuing to improve the monetary policy framework and strengthening the implementation and transmission of monetary policy. The monetary policy remains in a loose orientation, which supports the bond market in the long - term. The central bank's open - market bond trading and continuous short - term liquidity injection are both positive for the bond market. However, due to factors such as liquidity easing, the stock - bond seesaw effect, and open - market bond trading, the operation of the bond market becomes more difficult, and it is expected to oscillate in the medium - term [3].

Palm Oil - The SPPOMA data shows that the production of Malaysian palm oil from November 1 - 10, 2025 decreased compared to the same period last month. The implementation of Canada's clean - fuel regulations and local government blending policies has led to a rise in rapeseed oil prices, driving up palm oil prices.

Some enterprises plan to reduce production or conduct maintenance in November, which will restrict the improvement of overall production capacity utilization. There is a lack of substantial positive factors. The synthetic rubber market is expected to run weakly in a volatile manner [10][11].
