Yuichiro Tamaki, leader of the Japanese Democratic Party, has proposed a cryptocurrency tax plan that would lower taxes on cryptocurrency earnings to 20% if he is elected. Tamaki stated in a post on X that "if you believe that cryptocurrency assets should be taxed separately at a rate of 20%, rather than being treated as miscellaneous income, please vote for the People's Democratic Party." However, the plan may be far from implementation as the Democratic Party currently holds only 7 out of 465 seats in the Japanese House of Representatives (the lower house of the National Diet of Japan).

The release of US non-farm payroll data on Friday will be the biggest test for Citigroup and JPMorgan, who have boldly bet on a 50 basis point rate cut in September. For more than a year, foreign exchange traders have never been as excited as they are now before the release of the US employment report. Options used to measure the trend of the US dollar against major trading partners' exchange rates hit the highest level since March 2023 on the eve of the key non-farm payroll data release.

Interest rate swap contracts show that the probability of the Fed cutting interest rates by 50 basis points at the September 17-18 meeting is about 35%, but traders and economists believe that a 25 basis point cut is still the most likely.
