Supported by ongoing geopolitical concerns and a weakening US dollar, the market is still waiting for the Federal Reserve's policy meeting, with a strong wait-and-see sentiment and cautious trading overall; It is expected that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates for the third time and provide clues about the outlook for 2025.
