So it’s a tricky communication.”\nThe Federal Open Market Committee, which sets monetary policy, meets Tuesday and Wednesday, followed by a news conference from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell.\nNo one is expecting broad-stroke changes. Short-term borrowing rates will remain near zero, and the Fed will continue buying at least $120 billion a month in bonds to keep markets flowing and financial conditions loose.\nThere will be much for investors to chew on from this meeting.\nEconomic projections due\nFor one, individual members will update their forecasts for gross domestic product, unemployment and inflation.\nThey last submitted estimates in December, before Congress approved two stimulus packages totaling nearly $3 trillion and before a Covid-19 vaccine rollout that is seeing 2.4 million Americans inoculated every day.\nGoldman Sachs recently raised its GDP forecast to 7% for the full year and also sees unemployment falling more rapidly than expected while inflationary pressures heat up.\nBy contrast, the Fed’s Summary of Economic Projections in December indicated a median estimate of just 4.2% for GDP, along with an unemployment rate projection of 5% and core inflation running around 1.8%.\nThose numbers are likely to see “material upward revisions,” according to Bank of America.\nThe GDP figure could be raised by “at least” 1.5 percentage points to a range of 5.7% to 6%, while unemployment could be taken down to 4.8% and inflation raised to the Fed’s 2% target, Bank of America estimated.\nInflation already has become a headache for the Fed, with rising bond yields and market pricing rising, by one measure, to the highest level in nearly 13 years.\nThe bank’s economic team in a note called this week’s meeting “one of the most critical events for the Fed in some time.”\nPowell “will have to strike the right balance” between an optimistic economic outlook and the Fed’s willingness to allow inflation to run hotter than usual in an effort to make sure that employment gains are broad and inclusive of income, race and gender, Bank of America noted.\nPowell could use the occasion to tee up some gradual policy adjustments ahead.\n“This will likely be the Fed’s first step in the less accommodative direction as they move to set the stage for a taper & eventual policy tightening,” the bank’s note said.\nHawkish tilt possible\nIn recent weeks, markets had been speculating that the Fed would adjust its bond purchases to bring down longer-term rates that have jumped to pre-pandemic levels this year and caused volatility in the stock market.\nPowell has pushed back on that notion.\nInvestors, through the Fed’s dot plot of individual members’ expectations, will get a look as to how broad the consensus is for an indefinitely unchanged approach.\n“Ostensibly, everyone is on board with the new framework, but it might not mean the same to everyone,” said Tom Graff, head of fixed income at Brown Advisory. “That might not mean [some members] are hawkish as much as they just view this average inflation targeting regime will work differently than maybe Powell does.”\nThe market, then, could be left to decipher which policy “dots” are moving toward rate hikes. The market already is pricing in the possibility of increases in late-2022 and three total by the end of 2023, according to Citigroup. Current Fed estimates are for no moves until at least 2024.\n“It’s going to be interesting, because how do you upgrade your GDP forecasts to 7% and your inflation target to 2% and your forecast for unemployment to 5% and then say we’re going to be super easy,” said Kathy Jones, chief fixed income strategist at Charles Schwab. “What they’ll try to emphasize is patience.”\nJones said she doesn’t expect a shift in policy yet, with Powell emphasizing the importance of “as broad and inclusive increase in employment and decrease in unemployment as possible before they even consider raising rates.”\n“They’re pretty comfortable waiting it out,” she said.\nEnglish, the former Fed official and Yale professor, said Powell will emphasize “uncertainty” despite the progress with the virus and the economy.\n“Part of the communication will be ‘our reaction function hasn’t changed. We still want to achieve our objectives, we’re still going to be patient,’” he said. “The most likely outlook is better, but the world is an uncertain place. A lot can happen.”","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":324851878,"gmtCreate":1615985290094,"gmtModify":1704789314994,"author":{"id":"3554958921608603","authorId":"3554958921608603","name":"AS78","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/d392d10a42f496e319268418e7602694","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a8758340a08196056f8bc1e54805193","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"3554958921608603","authorIdStr":"3554958921608603"},"htmlText":"Please keep interest rate at 0","listText":"Please keep interest rate at 0","text":"Please keep interest rate at 0","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/324851878","repostId":1110379286,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1110379286","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1615941542,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1110379286?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-17 08:39","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The Fed must walk a fine line Wednesday as financial markets hang in the balance","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1110379286","media":"cnbc","summary":"KEY POINTS\n\nThe Federal Reserve concludes its two-day policy meeting Wednesday, with expectations fo","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTS\n\nThe Federal Reserve concludes its two-day policy meeting Wednesday, with expectations for no change in interest rates.\nHowever, Bank of America said the meeting will be “one of the most ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/16/federal-reserve-faces-a-communications-test-at-its-meeting-this-week-as-the-economy-improves.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Short-term borrowing rates will remain near zero, and the Fed will continue buying at least $120 billion a month in bonds to keep markets flowing and financial conditions loose.\nThere will be much for investors to chew on from this meeting.\nEconomic projections due\nFor one, individual members will update their forecasts for gross domestic product, unemployment and inflation.\nThey last submitted estimates in December, before Congress approved two stimulus packages totaling nearly $3 trillion and before a Covid-19 vaccine rollout that is seeing 2.4 million Americans inoculated every day.\nGoldman Sachs recently raised its GDP forecast to 7% for the full year and also sees unemployment falling more rapidly than expected while inflationary pressures heat up.\nBy contrast, the Fed’s Summary of Economic Projections in December indicated a median estimate of just 4.2% for GDP, along with an unemployment rate projection of 5% and core inflation running around 1.8%.\nThose numbers are likely to see “material upward revisions,” according to Bank of America.\nThe GDP figure could be raised by “at least” 1.5 percentage points to a range of 5.7% to 6%, while unemployment could be taken down to 4.8% and inflation raised to the Fed’s 2% target, Bank of America estimated.\nInflation already has become a headache for the Fed, with rising bond yields and market pricing rising, by one measure, to the highest level in nearly 13 years.\nThe bank’s economic team in a note called this week’s meeting “one of the most critical events for the Fed in some time.”\nPowell “will have to strike the right balance” between an optimistic economic outlook and the Fed’s willingness to allow inflation to run hotter than usual in an effort to make sure that employment gains are broad and inclusive of income, race and gender, Bank of America noted.\nPowell could use the occasion to tee up some gradual policy adjustments ahead.\n“This will likely be the Fed’s first step in the less accommodative direction as they move to set the stage for a taper & eventual policy tightening,” the bank’s note said.\nHawkish tilt possible\nIn recent weeks, markets had been speculating that the Fed would adjust its bond purchases to bring down longer-term rates that have jumped to pre-pandemic levels this year and caused volatility in the stock market.\nPowell has pushed back on that notion.\nInvestors, through the Fed’s dot plot of individual members’ expectations, will get a look as to how broad the consensus is for an indefinitely unchanged approach.\n“Ostensibly, everyone is on board with the new framework, but it might not mean the same to everyone,” said Tom Graff, head of fixed income at Brown Advisory. “That might not mean [some members] are hawkish as much as they just view this average inflation targeting regime will work differently than maybe Powell does.”\nThe market, then, could be left to decipher which policy “dots” are moving toward rate hikes. The market already is pricing in the possibility of increases in late-2022 and three total by the end of 2023, according to Citigroup. Current Fed estimates are for no moves until at least 2024.\n“It’s going to be interesting, because how do you upgrade your GDP forecasts to 7% and your inflation target to 2% and your forecast for unemployment to 5% and then say we’re going to be super easy,” said Kathy Jones, chief fixed income strategist at Charles Schwab. “What they’ll try to emphasize is patience.”\nJones said she doesn’t expect a shift in policy yet, with Powell emphasizing the importance of “as broad and inclusive increase in employment and decrease in unemployment as possible before they even consider raising rates.”\n“They’re pretty comfortable waiting it out,” she said.\nEnglish, the former Fed official and Yale professor, said Powell will emphasize “uncertainty” despite the progress with the virus and the economy.\n“Part of the communication will be ‘our reaction function hasn’t changed. We still want to achieve our objectives, we’re still going to be patient,’” he said. “The most likely outlook is better, but the world is an uncertain place. A lot can happen.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":324862783,"gmtCreate":1615983903542,"gmtModify":1704789291291,"author":{"id":"3576131954156593","authorId":"3576131954156593","name":"Player89","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/952964f743b5c0820289d8d8528135c3","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"3576131954156593","authorIdStr":"3576131954156593"},"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/324862783","repostId":1110379286,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1110379286","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1615941542,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1110379286?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-17 08:39","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The Fed must walk a fine line Wednesday as financial markets hang in the balance","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1110379286","media":"cnbc","summary":"KEY POINTS\n\nThe Federal Reserve concludes its two-day policy meeting Wednesday, with expectations fo","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTS\n\nThe Federal Reserve concludes its two-day policy meeting Wednesday, with expectations for no change in interest rates.\nHowever, Bank of America said the meeting will be “one of the most ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/16/federal-reserve-faces-a-communications-test-at-its-meeting-this-week-as-the-economy-improves.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

So it’s a tricky communication.”\nThe Federal Open Market Committee, which sets monetary policy, meets Tuesday and Wednesday, followed by a news conference from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell.\nNo one is expecting broad-stroke changes. Short-term borrowing rates will remain near zero, and the Fed will continue buying at least $120 billion a month in bonds to keep markets flowing and financial conditions loose.\nThere will be much for investors to chew on from this meeting.\nEconomic projections due\nFor one, individual members will update their forecasts for gross domestic product, unemployment and inflation.\nThey last submitted estimates in December, before Congress approved two stimulus packages totaling nearly $3 trillion and before a Covid-19 vaccine rollout that is seeing 2.4 million Americans inoculated every day.\nGoldman Sachs recently raised its GDP forecast to 7% for the full year and also sees unemployment falling more rapidly than expected while inflationary pressures heat up.\nBy contrast, the Fed’s Summary of Economic Projections in December indicated a median estimate of just 4.2% for GDP, along with an unemployment rate projection of 5% and core inflation running around 1.8%.\nThose numbers are likely to see “material upward revisions,” according to Bank of America.\nThe GDP figure could be raised by “at least” 1.5 percentage points to a range of 5.7% to 6%, while unemployment could be taken down to 4.8% and inflation raised to the Fed’s 2% target, Bank of America estimated.\nInflation already has become a headache for the Fed, with rising bond yields and market pricing rising, by one measure, to the highest level in nearly 13 years.\nThe bank’s economic team in a note called this week’s meeting “one of the most critical events for the Fed in some time.”\nPowell “will have to strike the right balance” between an optimistic economic outlook and the Fed’s willingness to allow inflation to run hotter than usual in an effort to make sure that employment gains are broad and inclusive of income, race and gender, Bank of America noted.\nPowell could use the occasion to tee up some gradual policy adjustments ahead.\n“This will likely be the Fed’s first step in the less accommodative direction as they move to set the stage for a taper & eventual policy tightening,” the bank’s note said.\nHawkish tilt possible\nIn recent weeks, markets had been speculating that the Fed would adjust its bond purchases to bring down longer-term rates that have jumped to pre-pandemic levels this year and caused volatility in the stock market.\nPowell has pushed back on that notion.\nInvestors, through the Fed’s dot plot of individual members’ expectations, will get a look as to how broad the consensus is for an indefinitely unchanged approach.\n“Ostensibly, everyone is on board with the new framework, but it might not mean the same to everyone,” said Tom Graff, head of fixed income at Brown Advisory. “That might not mean [some members] are hawkish as much as they just view this average inflation targeting regime will work differently than maybe Powell does.”\nThe market, then, could be left to decipher which policy “dots” are moving toward rate hikes. The market already is pricing in the possibility of increases in late-2022 and three total by the end of 2023, according to Citigroup. Current Fed estimates are for no moves until at least 2024.\n“It’s going to be interesting, because how do you upgrade your GDP forecasts to 7% and your inflation target to 2% and your forecast for unemployment to 5% and then say we’re going to be super easy,” said Kathy Jones, chief fixed income strategist at Charles Schwab. “What they’ll try to emphasize is patience.”\nJones said she doesn’t expect a shift in policy yet, with Powell emphasizing the importance of “as broad and inclusive increase in employment and decrease in unemployment as possible before they even consider raising rates.”\n“They’re pretty comfortable waiting it out,” she said.\nEnglish, the former Fed official and Yale professor, said Powell will emphasize “uncertainty” despite the progress with the virus and the economy.\n“Part of the communication will be ‘our reaction function hasn’t changed. We still want to achieve our objectives, we’re still going to be patient,’” he said. “The most likely outlook is better, but the world is an uncertain place.

We still want to achieve our objectives, we’re still going to be patient,’” he said. “The most likely outlook is better, but the world is an uncertain place.

So it’s a tricky communication.”\nThe Federal Open Market Committee, which sets monetary policy, meets Tuesday and Wednesday, followed by a news conference from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell.\nNo one is expecting broad-stroke changes. Short-term borrowing rates will remain near zero, and the Fed will continue buying at least $120 billion a month in bonds to keep markets flowing and financial conditions loose.\nThere will be much for investors to chew on from this meeting.\nEconomic projections due\nFor one, individual members will update their forecasts for gross domestic product, unemployment and inflation.\nThey last submitted estimates in December, before Congress approved two stimulus packages totaling nearly $3 trillion and before a Covid-19 vaccine rollout that is seeing 2.4 million Americans inoculated every day.\nGoldman Sachs recently raised its GDP forecast to 7% for the full year and also sees unemployment falling more rapidly than expected while inflationary pressures heat up.\nBy contrast, the Fed’s Summary of Economic Projections in December indicated a median estimate of just 4.2% for GDP, along with an unemployment rate projection of 5% and core inflation running around 1.8%.\nThose numbers are likely to see “material upward revisions,” according to Bank of America.\nThe GDP figure could be raised by “at least” 1.5 percentage points to a range of 5.7% to 6%, while unemployment could be taken down to 4.8% and inflation raised to the Fed’s 2% target, Bank of America estimated.\nInflation already has become a headache for the Fed, with rising bond yields and market pricing rising, by one measure, to the highest level in nearly 13 years.\nThe bank’s economic team in a note called this week’s meeting “one of the most critical events for the Fed in some time.”\nPowell “will have to strike the right balance” between an optimistic economic outlook and the Fed’s willingness to allow inflation to run hotter than usual in an effort to make sure that employment gains are broad and inclusive of income, race and gender, Bank of America noted.\nPowell could use the occasion to tee up some gradual policy adjustments ahead.\n“This will likely be the Fed’s first step in the less accommodative direction as they move to set the stage for a taper & eventual policy tightening,” the bank’s note said.\nHawkish tilt possible\nIn recent weeks, markets had been speculating that the Fed would adjust its bond purchases to bring down longer-term rates that have jumped to pre-pandemic levels this year and caused volatility in the stock market.\nPowell has pushed back on that notion.\nInvestors, through the Fed’s dot plot of individual members’ expectations, will get a look as to how broad the consensus is for an indefinitely unchanged approach.\n“Ostensibly, everyone is on board with the new framework, but it might not mean the same to everyone,” said Tom Graff, head of fixed income at Brown Advisory. “That might not mean [some members] are hawkish as much as they just view this average inflation targeting regime will work differently than maybe Powell does.”\nThe market, then, could be left to decipher which policy “dots” are moving toward rate hikes. The market already is pricing in the possibility of increases in late-2022 and three total by the end of 2023, according to Citigroup. Current Fed estimates are for no moves until at least 2024.\n“It’s going to be interesting, because how do you upgrade your GDP forecasts to 7% and your inflation target to 2% and your forecast for unemployment to 5% and then say we’re going to be super easy,” said Kathy Jones, chief fixed income strategist at Charles Schwab. “What they’ll try to emphasize is patience.”\nJones said she doesn’t expect a shift in policy yet, with Powell emphasizing the importance of “as broad and inclusive increase in employment and decrease in unemployment as possible before they even consider raising rates.”\n“They’re pretty comfortable waiting it out,” she said.\nEnglish, the former Fed official and Yale professor, said Powell will emphasize “uncertainty” despite the progress with the virus and the economy.\n“Part of the communication will be ‘our reaction function hasn’t changed.

So it’s a tricky communication.”\nThe Federal Open Market Committee, which sets monetary policy, meets Tuesday and Wednesday, followed by a news conference from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell.\nNo one is expecting broad-stroke changes.

The market already is pricing in the possibility of increases in late-2022 and three total by the end of 2023, according to Citigroup.

So it’s a tricky communication.”\nThe Federal Open Market Committee, which sets monetary policy, meets Tuesday and Wednesday, followed by a news conference from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell.\nNo one is expecting broad-stroke changes. Short-term borrowing rates will remain near zero, and the Fed will continue buying at least $120 billion a month in bonds to keep markets flowing and financial conditions loose.\nThere will be much for investors to chew on from this meeting.\nEconomic projections due\nFor one, individual members will update their forecasts for gross domestic product, unemployment and inflation.\nThey last submitted estimates in December, before Congress approved two stimulus packages totaling nearly $3 trillion and before a Covid-19 vaccine rollout that is seeing 2.4 million Americans inoculated every day.\nGoldman Sachs recently raised its GDP forecast to 7% for the full year and also sees unemployment falling more rapidly than expected while inflationary pressures heat up.\nBy contrast, the Fed’s Summary of Economic Projections in December indicated a median estimate of just 4.2% for GDP, along with an unemployment rate projection of 5% and core inflation running around 1.8%.\nThose numbers are likely to see “material upward revisions,” according to Bank of America.\nThe GDP figure could be raised by “at least” 1.5 percentage points to a range of 5.7% to 6%, while unemployment could be taken down to 4.8% and inflation raised to the Fed’s 2% target, Bank of America estimated.\nInflation already has become a headache for the Fed, with rising bond yields and market pricing rising, by one measure, to the highest level in nearly 13 years.\nThe bank’s economic team in a note called this week’s meeting “one of the most critical events for the Fed in some time.”\nPowell “will have to strike the right balance” between an optimistic economic outlook and the Fed’s willingness to allow inflation to run hotter than usual in an effort to make sure that employment gains are broad and inclusive of income, race and gender, Bank of America noted.\nPowell could use the occasion to tee up some gradual policy adjustments ahead.\n“This will likely be the Fed’s first step in the less accommodative direction as they move to set the stage for a taper & eventual policy tightening,” the bank’s note said.\nHawkish tilt possible\nIn recent weeks, markets had been speculating that the Fed would adjust its bond purchases to bring down longer-term rates that have jumped to pre-pandemic levels this year and caused volatility in the stock market.\nPowell has pushed back on that notion.\nInvestors, through the Fed’s dot plot of individual members’ expectations, will get a look as to how broad the consensus is for an indefinitely unchanged approach.\n“Ostensibly, everyone is on board with the new framework, but it might not mean the same to everyone,” said Tom Graff, head of fixed income at Brown Advisory. “That might not mean [some members] are hawkish as much as they just view this average inflation targeting regime will work differently than maybe Powell does.”\nThe market, then, could be left to decipher which policy “dots” are moving toward rate hikes. The market already is pricing in the possibility of increases in late-2022 and three total by the end of 2023, according to Citigroup. Current Fed estimates are for no moves until at least 2024.\n“It’s going to be interesting, because how do you upgrade your GDP forecasts to 7% and your inflation target to 2% and your forecast for unemployment to 5% and then say we’re going to be super easy,” said Kathy Jones, chief fixed income strategist at Charles Schwab. “What they’ll try to emphasize is patience.”\nJones said she doesn’t expect a shift in policy yet, with Powell emphasizing the importance of “as broad and inclusive increase in employment and decrease in unemployment as possible before they even consider raising rates.”\n“They’re pretty comfortable waiting it out,” she said.\nEnglish, the former Fed official and Yale professor, said Powell will emphasize “uncertainty” despite the progress with the virus and the economy.\n“Part of the communication will be ‘our reaction function hasn’t changed. We still want to achieve our objectives, we’re still going to be patient,’” he said. “The most likely outlook is better, but the world is an uncertain place.

A lot can happen.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":3812688,"gmtCreate":1615942331736,"gmtModify":1680780649858,"authorId":3575875627318890,"author":{"id":3575875627318890,"idStr":"3575875627318890","authorId":3575875627318890,"name":"TemasekHodl","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/daf0f0cedc45f1f983d55640fafb8b6d","vip":1,"currentWearingBadge":{"badgeId":"1026c425416b44e0aac28c11a0848493-2","templateUuid":"1026c425416b44e0aac28c11a0848493","name":"Senior Tiger","description":"Join the tiger community for 1000 days","bigImgUrl":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0063fb68ea29c9ae6858c58630e182d5","smallImgUrl":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/96c699a93be4214d4b49aea6a5a5d1a4","grayImgUrl":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/35b0e542a9ff77046ed69ef602bc105d","redirectLinkEnabled":0,"hasAllocated":1,"isWearing":1,"stampPosition":0,"hasStamp":0,"allocationCount":1,"allocatedDate":"2023.11.06","individualDisplayEnabled":0,"individualDisplaySort":0,"categoryType":1001},"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":324098154,"type":1,"supId":3812664,"prevId":0,"content":"Done, Comment back ","text":"Done, Comment back ","html":"Done, Comment back "},{"id":3812664,"gmtCreate":1615942140063,"gmtModify":1680780649766,"authorId":3576108908706138,"author":{"id":3576108908706138,"idStr":"3576108908706138","authorId":3576108908706138,"name":"Mesh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d4ef12e03b9e11be579123cb9d4208f9","vip":1,"currentWearingBadge":{"badgeId":"972123088c9646f7b6091ae0662215be-2","templateUuid":"972123088c9646f7b6091ae0662215be","name":"Master Trader","description":"Total number of securities or futures transactions reached 100","bigImgUrl":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ad22cfbe2d05aa393b18e9226e4b0307","smallImgUrl":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/36702e6ff3ffe46acafee66cc85273ca","grayImgUrl":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d52eb88fa385cf5abe2616ed63781765","redirectLinkEnabled":0,"hasAllocated":1,"isWearing":1,"stampPosition":0,"hasStamp":0,"allocationCount":1,"allocatedDate":"2021.12.28","exceedPercentage":"80.09%","individualDisplayEnabled":0,"individualDisplaySort":0,"categoryType":1100},"crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":324098154,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Ok Done","text":"Ok Done","html":"Ok Done"},{"id":3812828,"gmtCreate":1615943256540,"gmtModify":1680780649356,"authorId":3570424148942091,"author":{"id":3570424148942091,"idStr":"3570424148942091","authorId":3570424148942091,"name":"Fredwkh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/301d103aff8ff9955978aa630ee85588","vip":1,"crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":324098154,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Comment","text":"Comment","html":"Comment"},{"id":3812661,"gmtCreate":1615942114704,"gmtModify":1680780648808,"authorId":3576326025007657,"author":{"id":3576326025007657,"idStr":"3576326025007657","authorId":3576326025007657,"name":"Carolir","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7336f44d3eff2834f40e92f17d72ed7e","vip":1,"currentWearingBadge":{"badgeId":"1026c425416b44e0aac28c11a0848493-2","templateUuid":"1026c425416b44e0aac28c11a0848493","name":"Senior Tiger","description":"Join the tiger community for 1000 days","bigImgUrl":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0063fb68ea29c9ae6858c58630e182d5","smallImgUrl":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/96c699a93be4214d4b49aea6a5a5d1a4","grayImgUrl":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/35b0e542a9ff77046ed69ef602bc105d","redirectLinkEnabled":0,"hasAllocated":1,"isWearing":1,"stampPosition":0,"hasStamp":0,"allocationCount":1,"allocatedDate":"2023.11.11","individualDisplayEnabled":0,"individualDisplaySort":0,"categoryType":1001},"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":324098154,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":".","text":".","html":"."},{"id":3812746,"gmtCreate":1615942779075,"gmtModify":1680780648048,"authorId":3566178178524951,"author":{"id":3566178178524951,"idStr":"3566178178524951","authorId":3566178178524951,"name":"35a510b1","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":324098154,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"<u>ok</u>","text":"<u>ok</u>","html":"<u>ok</u>"}],"langContent":"EN"}],"hasMoreComments":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":67,"commentSize":27,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false}}
