Investors are evaluating potential Federal Reserve interest rate policy decisions alongside an ongoing public bond sell-off on 5 October.[^2]

Market attention is focused on the September Federal Open Market Committee minutes, set for publication Wednesday. Investors are looking to the document for guidance on future monetary policy.[^3] [^5]

A marginal increase in the U.S. Services PMI may influence the central bank's considerations, though the impact of that data may be limited.[^4]

The Federal Reserve currently operates a policy rate range of 3.75–4%. The Bank of Thailand has held its own policy rate unchanged at 1%.[^1]
