The decline of US stocks eased, because of two major events

Last night, two key messages: -The S&P 500 index closed above 4000 points (at 4001 points) ​ ​ -The yield of 10-year US bonds fell below 3% (as mentioned in yesterday's article, the condition for the short-term stabilization of the stock market is that the yield needs to return to below 3%) ​​ ​ Seems to be a good start. The risk alarm can be lifted in the short term, which stems from three aspects: First, the Federal Reserve sent several generals to rescue the market Williams, chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, talked about "soft landing" to inject confidence into the market. "The Federal Reserve is trying to cope with high inflation while achieving a soft landing. A rate hike would bring inflation down to nearly 4pc, before dropping to about 2.5 pc in 2023 and returnin

Financial markets seem to have changed overnight

-Open your eyes every day, as if the weather changed overnight. Wall Street knew tensions in Ukraine would continue, but did not expect a major escalation so early. If you use one word to describe the current financial market: it is completely chaotic. There is no clear main line of trading, there are false news, there are news misread by the public, there are news released by news media, and every news may affect the market. 1. The tension between Russia and Ukraine has entered the next stage ​​ ​ When Biden left the White House to give a speech in Cleveland, he told reporters that the possibility of an attack on Ukraine is very high, and it feels like it will happen in the next few days. We have reason to believe that they engage in self-directed and self-acting operations and create exc

Let me tell you what the Fed did last night.,get ready for more volatility

-The minutes of the meeting hardly changed anything, but they strengthened the Fed's intention to raise interest rates, which is of great significance. At 3:00 a.m. Beijing time on Thursday, the Federal Reserve released a "world-wide surprise" meeting minutes (explanation). The Fed usually issues meeting minutes in the third week after the meeting. Since the contents of the meeting have already been announced, the meeting minutes are only a supplement to the details, so they have little impact on the market. Except this time. The latest minutes of the meeting were released in December. At the meeting at that time, the Federal Reserve announced an acceleration in taper and hinted that it would raise interest rates three times in 2022. After the storms of December, traders thought the m

How to understand the "inverted V" shape of US stocks market reversal ?

Anything is possible in this summer.The Fed has achieved initial results in fighting inflation:-The data released on Thursday showed that the PPI of the United States declined for the first time in more than two years in July;-The day before, the CPI data released in July also showed that inflation had cooled down.However, the market trend is not consistent with it. Gold prices and US Treasury bonds have fallen, and the US stock market has achieved an "inverted V" reversal. According to the original logic, when inflation falls, the Fed's interest rate hike is expected to fall simultaneously, which will benefit gold, US Treasury bonds and US stock market. However, after 23:00 last night, all three markets changed, and there was no important news at that time.The market trend shows the

Readout of January meeting shows Fed not wed to particular pace of rate hikes

Wall Street concluded on the minutes that there is a lack of Hawkish hawkish surprises and little new information that the market does not know. -We were cheated by the Federal Reserve again. When we issued a hawkish statement in January, it seemed that we knew everything and everything was certain. Now I find out that they don't know anything. At 3:00 a.m. Beijing time, the minutes of the Fed meeting were released. This 20-page minute is a transcript of the meeting on January 27th. That is, at this meeting, the Fed completely changed into a super hawk image-announcing that QE will end in early March and raise interest rates "soon and appropriately" (the currency carnival era is over, and the Fed is starting the most historic tightening cycle).​ ​The Fed usually releases minutes three week

What happened? US stocks suffered a night of carnage

The myth that US stocks kept "not falling sharply" was shattered. Friday was another night of massacres, with the Dow down nearly 1,000 points and all three major U.S. stock indexes tumbling more than 2.5%, their worst day since October 2010. ​​ ​ The Dow Jones index closed down 979.32 points, or 2.81%, to 33,813.44 points; The S&P 500 index closed down 119.36 points, or 2.72%, to 4274.30 points; Nasdaq Composite Index closed down 330.76 points, or 2.51%, to 12,843.89 points. ​​ ​ Investors withdrew $17.5 billion from global stock markets this week, the largest weekly outflow in history. There are three reasons behind the decline of US stocks this time, and each layer is more complicated than the other (not juxtaposition, but progressive relationship). The first layer of reason Traders

A sensational report, the market changed overnight

-From today, the Federal Reserve may hold an emergency meeting at any time to start raising interest rates. -The inflation story of 2022 (and 2023) is far from over. This is an inflation report that shocked everyone. In January, the CPI of the United States bounced up by 7.5%, exceeding the 7.3% expected by economists, and even surpassing the 7.0% in December last year, setting a new record for the largest increase since March 1982. The hot inflation data raised the possibility of the Fed adopting more radical policies (the inflation rate is as high as 7.5%, but the interest rate is close to zero, which means that the Fed must act quickly). ​​ ​ In nine of the past 11 months, CPI beat Wall Street expectations, rising for the 20th straight month. One, a sensational report From the breakdown

--Declaring war on inflation, which all started with Powell's nomination. Powell's performance is over, and he has taught the global market another lesson. At his Fed chairman's hearing last night, Powell revealed all the signals he could, but the financial markets are moving in the opposite direction of logic. Let's take a look at several major points from Powell's hearing: ​​ ​ We will use our tools to support the economy and a strong labour market and to prevent rising inflation from entrenched, Bauer said in his opening speech at the hearing. 1. End QE; in March; 2. If necessary, it will raise interest rates many times; 3. The Fed's dual mission of ensuring price stability and achieving full employment may change its focus. At present, it is more concerned about inflation (formally dec

March Fed Minutes surprised the markets,What needs to be focused on?

At 2:00 am Beijing time on Thursday, the Federal Reserve released the minutes of its March meeting. The Fed usually releases its minutes three weeks after the meeting-which looks a lot smaller than February's, with 12 pages (eight pages short), compared with February's 20-page minutes. However, the fewer words, the bigger the matter, and the signal revealed in this summary is bigger than the market expected. ​​ ​ First, the main points of the summary On the Expression of Interest Rate 1) Many participants noted that one or more 50 basis point rate hikes might be appropriate at future meetings, especially if inflationary pressures continue to rise or intensify.
