Newsom, who is term-limited and has publicly weighed a presidential bid while raising his national profile with appearances in swing states including North Carolina, said: “I don't know if she will run, we'll wait and see. But if she runs, I will not.”

Markets overwhelmingly expect the Bank of Japan to raise rates by 25bps this week; that would be the quickest increase in the current tightening cycle and is largely priced in. Markets had already factored in a Fed decision that could mark the first policy tightening in more than three years.
