Shenzhen Component Index and U.S. Inflation: A Market Overview
Market Response to U.S. Inflation Report
The recently released October inflation reading has significantly impacted market dynamics.

Just a day earlier, this probability stood at only 59%.

In response to these economic indicators, major Asia-Pacific indices have reported gains, with the Shenzhen Component Index leading the charge. The Hang Seng Index, KOSPI Index, and Nikkei 225 Index also reflect positive movements as investors react to shifting monetary policy expectations.
