According to a message from Bijie.com, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova said in a commentary published on the Russian Foreign Ministry website on the 5th that Russia will take reciprocal countermeasures against Tokyo's unfriendly moves, targeting first and foremost areas of important interest to Japan. According to the website of Nikkei, the Japanese government decided at a cabinet meeting on the 2nd to impose additional sanctions on Russia. Regarding the 35 vessels in the so-called "shadow fleet" that Russia allegedly uses to secretly transport crude oil to evade Western sanctions, the Japanese government will in principle prohibit the provision of services such as operation, maintenance, insurance, and financing to them. Zakharova stated that the Japanese side has shown disregard for international law and bilateral agreements, and that the actions of the Japanese government have further worsened Russia-Japan relations. She said that the diplomatic approach pursued by Tokyo lacks independence and is "not determined by its own national interests," but rather blindly aligns itself with so-called "like-minded partners."

JPMorgan strategists expect U.S. investment-grade corporate bonds to outperform Treasuries in the fourth quarter.
According to CoinWorld news, JPMorgan strategists expect U.S. investment-grade corporate bonds to outperform U.S. Treasuries in the fourth quarter, citing reasons including slowing sales at large technology companies and strong corporate earnings. The bank expects the spread of its JULI index relative to Treasuries to narrow from 0.96 percentage points last Friday to 0.85 percentage points. Strategists noted that declining interest rate volatility and relatively stronger domestic and international demand after yields stabilized are "bullish" catalysts driving demand.
