If the Bank of Canada cuts interest rates by 50bp as expected, it is expected that the pace of interest rate cuts will slow down. The Bank of Canada cut interest rates sharply for the second time in a row this month, and hinted that policymakers are prepared to slow down the pace of monetary easing. The bank cut interest rates by 50 basis points to 3.25%, bringing borrowing costs to the upper part of their expected range of neutral interest rates. However, they also hinted that after the sharp interest rate cut expected by the market and most economists, there may be a smaller interest rate cut again in 2025. Officials dropped their previous statement that they expected to further reduce borrowing costs. "With the policy interest rate greatly reduced, we expect that if the economic development is generally in line with expectations, monetary policy will adopt a more gradual approach," Bank of Canada Governor Mackler said in a prepared speech. "Looking ahead, we will evaluate the necessity of further reducing the policy interest rate one by one."Market information: EU member states agreed to impose the 15th round of sanctions on Russia, and the US crude oil futures price rose by more than USD 1/barrel.Russian Presidential Press Secretary: The telephone conversation between Putin and Trump has not been prepared yet.

Apple iPhone SE 4 is reported to be officially released around March next year, and the new machine may bring a major upgrade to SE series. The new machine will adopt Liu Haiping design, introduce Face ID and cancel the Home button with Touch ID, but there is no smart island function. According to gourmain, Apple has designed a new modem code-named Sinope, which is seamlessly integrated with other components of its own. This design not only saves space, but also reduces power consumption. Compared with the Qualcomm modem currently used by Apple, Sinope still has a big gap, and the performance of related chips is inferior to that of Qualcomm. For example, Sinope only supports the Sub-6 GHz 5G band, but does not support millimeter mmWave. Although the performance of related modems is not as good as that of Qualcomm, gourmain thinks that the biggest advantage of Apple's self-developed scheme is to reduce its dependence on Qualcomm, thus saving licensing fees.
