The new system aims to prevent US regulators from delisting Chinese companies that do not comply with US market regulations, the FT said, citing people with knowledge of the matter. Chinese companies with “secret” data should be delisted, the report said.

According to the CME Group’s FedWatch Tool, the odds of a 75-basis-point hike are 78.7%. “Awaiting the Fed, Asian assets are likely to trade mixed early in the week as investors keep the risk of stagnant inflation in mind,” Venkateswaran Lavanya, an economist at Mizuho Bank, said in a note on Monday.
