Trump Comments on 'Citizen's Dividend', Confirms Xi's US Visit
A recent Asia market update indicates that traders are waiting for further clarity on interest rates from BOJ board member Masu's press conference. The conference may shed light on the future pace and intervals of rate hikes, which would be a crucial development in Japan's monetary policy normalization.
Meanwhile, US President Trump commented on the 'citizen's dividend' during his 2026 RNC/GOP National Midterm Convention speech in Dallas. He indicated that if Republicans win the midterm elections, they will introduce the concept of a citizen's dividend. This idea is similar to his previous promise of a 'tariff dividend.'
Additionally, Trump confirmed that President Xi is expected to arrive in the US in a couple of weeks, as previously announced by the White House for September 24th.
