Japan’s yen weakened after the country’s central bank kept interest rates steady and said it will allow more flexibility in its yield curve control policy.

The Bank of Japan said the target level of the 10-year Japanese government bond yield will be held at 0%, but will take the upper bound of 1% “as a reference.”

The news sent the yen down nearly 0.6% against the dollar, briefly breaching the 150 per dollar threshold.

The benchmark Nikkei 225 reversed earlier falls to rise 0.7%, while the Topix added 1.14%.

The BOJ also raised its inflation forecast for the next fiscal year, it now sees the core consumer price index rising 2.8%, above the 1.9% it predicted three months ago.

China’s new normal is going to be lower growth than before, said Fred Neumann, HSBC’s chief Asia economist & co-head of global research.  

“We probably need to adjust our expectations in terms of what the upper ceiling is for China’s growth,” Neumann told CNBC’s “Squawk Box Asia.“

HSBC now sees China’s economy growing 4.9% this year and 4.6% in 2024. Neumann said that will likely be the range of growth for China for the next couple of years and “that’s probably as good as it gets as long as the property market continues to struggle.”

Neumann said even though projections for China’s growth are more modest than they were before the pandemic, there are still some signs of economic recovery underway and growing areas of investments including the electric vehicle space.

Beijing’s current growth target is at 5% for 2023. Data earlier in the day showed China’s manufacturing activity logged an unexpected contraction in October.

Apollo Global Management and KKR & Co. are both still on track to eventually join the S&P 500 Index, according to a Barclays report to clients out Monday, although the immediate outlook may be diminished by the effect of higher interest rates on both companies’ GAAP-reported earnings.

After Blackstone was admitted to the S&P 500 in September, “the index inclusion narrative has become increasingly front and center” for alternative asset managers, analyst Benjamin Budish said in the note. The problem for Apollo and KKR, however, is that S&P demands earnings measured by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the most recent quarter, “and in aggregate over the four preceding quarters.”

But with interest rates having climbed in the third quarter, “this could result in unrealized losses on APO’s/KKR’s fixed income investments (largely related to their insurance businesses),” Barclays argued, noting that GAAP earnings for both had been negative in prior quarters that saw 10-year Treasury yields rise by similar magnitudes.
