According to Jin10, a Reuters survey showed most economists think the Bank of Israel may pause rate cuts on Tuesday, although some expect the central bank to lower rates again. Of the 14 economists surveyed, eight expected no change and six expected another 25-basis-point cut to 3.25%. The Bank of Israel's Monetary Policy Committee will announce its rate decision on Tuesday. The committee cut rates by 25 basis points at both its May and July meetings, and the benchmark rate is currently 3.5%, the lowest level since late 2022. Most economists said the central bank still has room to cut rates because Israel's annual inflation rate is only 1.5%, within the official 1% to 3% target range, and a stronger shekel is helping curb price pressures. Based on bond market yields, inflation is expected to remain stable over the next year.

ING analysts said the new attacks heightened market concerns that the U.S. and Iran could remain locked in a long-term stalemate, further stoking worries about disruptions to Gulf-region energy flows, including LNG supply.

China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has launched a special campaign to cultivate AI application service providers, aiming to build a resource pool and accelerate large-scale AI deployment across industries, according to ETNet. The ministry said the number of providers in the national resource pool should exceed 2,000 by end-2026 and reach at least 3,000 by end-2027. It also wants provinces with national AI industry innovation pilot zones to have at least 100 local providers in their pools by end-2027. The notice calls for local authorities to identify AI application service providers and compile regional resource pools, which the ministry will consolidate into a national list and publish when appropriate. It also encourages providers to form integrated AI application service teams with upstream and downstream partners to deliver one-stop solutions. Local governments are asked to submit at least 10 such service teams, with each team led by one provider and including at least two upstream or downstream participants. The ministry also urged wider procurement of large models, AI agents and Token-based services, and said local authorities may use measures such as first-purchase support and risk compensation to promote adoption. The notice further supports links with national computing network hubs, interconnection nodes and the China computing platform, and encourages the use of policy tools such as computing vouchers to lower costs. It also backs joint training bases between universities, vocational schools and leading providers, as well as front-line deployment engineer teams to support implementation at user sites.
