IMF首席經濟學家：總體的信息是，高債務國家應開始整頓以減少赤字。

The Bank of Japan's quarterly household survey on Tuesday showed the share of households expecting prices to rise over the next year fell to 88.6% in September from 90.4% in June. Those expecting prices to rise over the next five years ticked up to 86.5% from 86.1% in June. The data indicate near-term inflation expectations eased while longer-term expectations remain elevated.

ING strategist Chris Turner says the Swiss franc has recently strengthened versus the euro but further gains are likely limited because market expectations for ECB tightening are unlikely to be pared back materially. The franc's move was mainly driven by concerns over French sovereign debt that cut market expectations for ECB tightening. "It is unclear whether short-term euro rates need to fall further materially, unless energy prices decline significantly," Turner wrote. Euro-area inflation remains elevated, he added, giving the ECB scope to tighten policy further.
