BlockBeats News, December 14 — A Financial Times analysis points out that, given European Central Bank President Lagarde's statement that the bank is in a "good state," investors are widely expecting the European Central Bank to keep the benchmark interest rate unchanged at 2% next week and shift their focus to its economic forecasts. Lagarde stated this week that rate setters might again raise their growth forecasts for the Eurozone at the upcoming meeting. These stronger growth projections and persistent inflation have recently led traders to increase bets on a rate hike by the European Central Bank next year. However, due to ongoing debates over the potential shift in monetary policy direction and the fact that the swap market has only recently begun to price in this change in the past few weeks, traders will pay close attention to clues regarding the timing of rate hikes. Any adjustments to policy signals are expected to be subtle. George Morant, Eurozone economist at Royal Bank of Canada Capital Markets, stated that he does not expect the European Central Bank to raise interest rates in 2026 because of a "cyclical tailwind."

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Negentropic, co-founder of Glassnode, posted an analysis on the X platform about the impact of Japan's interest rate hikes. He pointed out that what the market fears is not tightening but uncertainty. Sometimes, market volatility can actually be an opportunity. Japan's central bank normalization has brought clarity to the global capital markets, and Bitcoin often thrives after experiencing policy pressure. Previous analyses suggested that Japan's interest rate hikes might not trigger risk-averse sentiment in the crypto market. First, speculators currently hold a net long (bullish) position in the Japanese yen, so it is unlikely they will react quickly to the Bank of Japan's rate hikes. Secondly, Japan's government bond yields have continued to rise this year, with both short-term and long-term yield curves reaching multi-decade highs. The upcoming rate hikes reflect that official interest rates are catching up with market levels, indicating a lower likelihood of risk-avoidance sentiment emerging by the end of the year.

PANews December 13 News, according to CoinDesk, Japan's last interest rate hike caused the yen to rise, triggering a sharp increase in market risk aversion sentiment, which led to Bitcoin prices falling from about $65,000 to $50,000. However, the upcoming yen interest rate hike may not trigger risk aversion in the crypto market for two reasons: First, speculators currently hold a net long (bullish) position in yen, making it unlikely for them to react quickly to the Bank of Japan's rate hike; second, Japan's government bond yields have continued to climb this year, with both short-term and long-term yields hitting multi-decade highs. Therefore, the upcoming rate increase reflects that official interest rates are catching up with market trends. Meanwhile, this week, the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates by 25 basis points while introducing liquidity measures, bringing rates to their lowest level in three years. Overall, these factors indicate a clear unwind of yen arbitrage positions and a year-end risk aversion sentiment.

As algorithm customization and reinforcement learning capabilities improve, the new generation of AI trading models are no longer solely focused on absolute profit and loss (P&L), but are introducing risk-adjusted metrics such as the Sharpe ratio, maximum drawdown, and value at risk (VaR) to dynamically balance risk and return across different market environments. Recall Labs Chief Marketing Officer Michael Sena stated that in recent AI trading competitions, specially customized and optimized trading agents significantly outperform general large models, which only slightly beat the market when autonomously executing trades. The results show that
