1. JP Morgan: Bank of Japan is expected to keep interest rates unchanged and reduce the total monthly purchase of Japanese government bonds from 5.7 trillion yen to 5.1 trillion to 5.3 trillion yen. 2. UBS Group: Bank of Japan is expected to keep interest rates unchanged, with only a 15 basis point increase in October, followed by three more increases of 25 basis points each, raising interest rates to 1% next year. 3. HSBC: Bank of Japan is expected to keep interest rates unchanged, with the possibility of an interest rate hike in July. This meeting is expected to involve more communication on bond purchases, and the reduction in bond purchases is not expected to attract widespread attention. 4. Standard Bank: Bank of Japan is expected to keep interest rates unchanged while considering reducing the scale of bond purchases. If the reduction in the purchase of new bonds exceeds the amount of maturing government bonds, it would mean quantitative tightening (QT). 5. Sumitomo Mitsui: Bank of Japan is expected to keep interest rates unchanged. If the Bank of Japan considers an interest rate hike in July, this meeting is likely to give a hint; otherwise, the probability of an interest rate hike in July may weaken. 6. Capital Economics: Bank of Japan is expected to keep interest rates unchanged and may raise rates in July, which would be the last rate hike of the year. It is highly likely that an announcement will be made to reduce the purchase of Japanese government bonds. 7. ANZ Bank: Bank of Japan is expected to raise interest rates by 15 basis points and raise rates by another 25 basis points in October. Quantitative tightening will be on the agenda, and any reduction in bond purchases is unlikely to be a fixed scale. 8. Natixis: Bank of Japan is expected to raise interest rates as early as today. Due to the moderate rate hike, it will not provide support for the yen. The forecast for the USD/JPY exchange rate at the end of the year is 150.

Odaily Planet Daily News, Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart wrote that the approval of the spot Ethereum ETF does not mean that they will start trading tomorrow. This is just the approval of 19b-4. Approval of the S-1 document is also required, which will take some time. We expect it to take a few weeks, but it could be longer. We will know more information in about a week.

Odaily Planet Daily News, Chief Legal Officer of _iant Fund, Jake Chervinsky, stated today: "If the spot ETH ETF is really approved, everyone I know who understands the regulatory situation in Washington will be greatly surprised, but that doesn't mean it won't happen. This means that the approval of the ETF may indicate that there has been a major shift in US cryptocurrency regulatory policy after the SAB 121 vote, which may be more important than the ETF itself." Pada bulan ini, proposal untuk menggulingkan SAB 121 telah disetujui melalui pemungutan suara di Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat dan Senat pada tanggal 8 Mei dan 17 Mei secara berturut-turut. Biden akan membuat keputusan akhir mengenai proposal ini sebelum tanggal 28 Mei.

"Gold Ten Data, May 17 News, AXA IM Investment Institute Chief Investment Officer Chris Iggo said that interest rates are at their peak, but the rate of interest rate cuts may be slow, so long-term bond yields are unlikely to rise or fall significantly at current levels. The risk of further interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve has disappeared, which should mean that the yield on 10-year US Treasury bonds is unlikely to be significantly higher than the trading range so far this year. Therefore, the risk of long positions is now smaller than in the past. However, long-term bond yields are also unlikely to decline significantly because inflation remains above target levels and monetary easing policies will be gradually implemented."
