Hello everyone,In this edition of Yield Hunting, we're spotlighting Meta—a stock with serious earth-sign energy. Since December 2022, its upward trend has been as steady and reliable as a calm capybara. There's something about its price trajectory that gives investors a peculiar sense of security. But the question is, how long can this sense of safety last?Let’s break it down.FundamentalsIf we were to isolate the purest catalyst behind Meta's surge over the past year, it would undoubtedly be AI.

Hello, tigers!This week, due to the Thanksgiving holiday, the U.S. stock market had only 3.5 trading days, resulting in relatively quiet activity.

Hello everyone,It's been 9 months since AMD entered a wide trading range, and a long consolidation box is gradually taking shape. If we were to pick one of the most stable stocks among tech companies right now, AMD would definitely be one of them. While Tesla has surged past the $300 mark, AMD, despite the boost from its Q3 earnings report, only saw a modest 4% increase before being mysteriously pulled back down to its 20-day moving average...To be fair, if you were betting on a rally like Tesla's, AMD has been disappointing lately. However, if you are playing a range-bound strategy, AMD is undoubtedly a solid pick. Especially for trading FCNs (Fixed Coupon Notes), it offers strong support at the bottom and a well-defined consolidation range, making it a highly stable choice.Of course, apa

David ChenDirector of Investment Researchchenqingwei@itiger.comSFC CE NO.: BUP836Powell's speech at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium released the most definite and affirmative attitude towards interest rate cuts. The opening statement "The time has come for policy to adjust" directly ignited market enthusiasm.The entire speech provided two major key signals: Firstly, "The direction of inflation is very clear". With the current 3-month PCE annualized growth rate falling to 1.7%, the task of fighting inflation has basically ended, and subsequent policies will downplay the impact of inflation. Secondly, "We do not seek or welcome further cooling in labor market conditions" indicating that the Federal Reserve has officially started the next phase of the task "stabilizing the economy."

What are U.S. Treasury Bonds?U.S. Treasury bonds, commonly known as Treasuries, are essentially a loan to the U.S. government. Investors lend money to the government, earning fixed interest payments (coupons) and potentially profiting by trading them in the secondary market.How are Treasury prices and yields determined?While the face value of a bond is fixed, its purchase price fluctuates based on factors like time to maturity, coupon rate, and market expectations.
