The Japanese yen strengthened past 152 per dollar on Tuesday, rebounding sharply from near eight-month lows after US Treasury Secretary Bessent called for “sound monetary policy” in a swipe at Japan’s slow pace of rate hikes while discussing currency volatility with Japanese Finance Minister Katayama. Japan’s economic revitalization minister also said the government is closely monitoring the yen’s weakness, noting that a softer currency still provides support through stronger exports. On the monetary front, the BOJ is widely expected to keep interest rates unchanged this week, though policymakers are set to debate conditions for resuming rate hikes as tariff-related risks ease. Meanwhile, US President Trump pledged stronger US-Japan ties and praised PM Takaichi’s plans to boost defense spending during their meeting in Tokyo, where the two leaders signed agreements on trade and critical minerals, formalizing parts of a broader deal negotiated under Takaichi’s predecessor.

Steel rebar futures held above CNY 3,070 per ton, staying near two-week highs after China announced new measures to curb steelmaking capacity in key regions to rebalance supply and demand. The move has supported steel prices and improved profit margins, driving stronger demand for iron ore and other inputs. Beijing recently proposed a stricter capacity swap plan that would prohibit adding new steel capacity in key areas, transferring capacity from non-key to key regions, or reallocating capacity among key zones. The policy comes as China continues to face weak domestic demand amid a prolonged property downturn, leading to a supply-demand imbalance that has pressured steel margins. Investors also tracked trade developments, with China and the US agreeing on a framework for a potential trade deal to be finalized by Presidents Trump and Xi this week covering several key issues.

Steel Holds Gains as China as China Tackles Overcapacity

European equity markets were set to open lower on Tuesday, taking a breather after a strong rally that pushed regional benchmarks to record highs in the previous session. Investors turned cautious ahead of a potential US-China trade deal, quarterly earnings from major tech firms, and policy decisions from key central banks this week. In Europe, attention will focus on new car registration figures and German consumer confidence data. On the corporate side, HSBC reported stronger-than-expected Q3 revenue driven by its wealth management division, despite taking a $1.1 billion provision related to the Bernard Madoff fraud case. In premarket trade, Euro Stoxx 50 and Stoxx 600 futures were both down about 0.2%.
