Tomo Kinoshita, a global market strategist at Invesco Asset Management Japan, said that the results of the FOMC meeting may give a positive boost to Asian stock markets and currencies. He said, “Export-oriented stocks should benefit from improved US economic growth prospects, and the outlook that the Federal Reserve favors easing policies may be seen as a supporting factor for the Asian Central Bank to cut interest rates. In turn, this could benefit domestic demand-related stocks.” The double benefits of stronger economic growth expectations and weaker inflation expectations have intensified market expectations for a more drastic interest rate cut in 2026.
