The Macau Monetary Authority lowered the base rate by 25 basis points to 4.50% on September 18th, 2025, following a similar move by its Hong Kong counterpart after the US Federal Reserve decided to cut interest rates. It marked the first rate cut this year in the Chinese administrative territory, bringing borrowing costs to their lowest level since November 2022, amid easing inflationary pressures. Macau's annual inflation rate eased to 0.12% in July, the slowest pace in four months. 
Meanwhile, the unemployment rate inched up to 2.0% in the three months ending July 2025, the highest since March 2024, rising from 1.9% in the previous period.

Macau Cuts Base Rate by 25bps After Fed Decision

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) slashed its base rate by 25bps to 4.5% on September 18, following the US Federal Reserve’s first rate reduction since December 2024. The Fed signaled further easing ahead, aiming to steadily lower borrowing costs through the rest of the year. Due to the Hong Kong dollar’s peg to the US dollar, the HKMA is required to align its policy moves closely with those of the Fed.

Hong Kong Cuts Base Rate to 4.5% After Fed Move

The Nikkei 225 advanced 0.4% toward 45,000 while the Topix added 0.1% to 3,150 on Thursday, with Japanese stocks rebounding from the prior session after the US Federal Reserve delivered a quarter-point rate cut as expected. The Fed also projected two more cuts this year but only one in 2026, countering market bets for two or three reductions next year. Domestically, the Bank of Japan began its two-day policy meeting, with rates widely expected to be left unchanged as officials assess the impact of US tariffs on Japan’s export-driven economy. Still, analysts noted the BOJ could lift rates by 25 basis points in October amid signs of resilience. Tech shares led the gains, with Disco (+3.1%), Tokyo Electron (+3.2%), Advantest (+3%), SoftBank Group (+1.5%) and Lasertec (+3.3%) posting solid advances.

Japanese Shares Gain After Fed Rate Cut

China’s cyberspace regulator has ordered companies, including Alibaba, to halt orders for Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D, a workstation chip that can be adapted for AI, Bloomberg reported. The Cyberspace Administration of China told firms to stop testing the chip and cancel purchases, sources said. Some companies had earlier planned to buy tens of thousands of units, according to the Financial Times. Nvidia developed the 6000D to sidestep US export controls on advanced AI chips to China. The directive underscores Beijing’s push to reduce reliance on Nvidia hardware and foster domestic alternatives, while also protesting US restrictions that block access to high-end foreign chips and manufacturing gear, measures that remain a sticking point in US-China trade talks.
