US Market Earthquake? Only 2 weeks into 2024 and already the US market is shakier than ever. What have caused the market to become so volatile over the past month — 13 Dec 2023 to 12 Jan 2024? 4 Main Factors. (1) FOMC Dec 2023 meeting. On FOMC’s last meeting in 2023, the Fed team decided to: Keep Fed Funds rate static & unchanged. Acknowledged that the Fed’s policies are working to cool down the US economy.

My investing muse - UAW strike, inflation, interest rate & Ukraine Inflation and interest rate Most eyes will be fixed on the Fed with their coming interest rate decision. Most are expecting the hike rate to pause with a probable one more rate hike by the end of the year. The latest CPI figure may have matched expectations but there was an increase of 0.6% Month on Month (MoM). This implies that things are still getting more expensive over time. With OPEC+ reducing their daily oil production by 1.3 million barrels per day (bpd), the oil price has crossed the USD$90 mark recently. This should be sustained till the end of the year. Strikes UAW strike has taken place with about 13,000 union workers involved. The strike is affecting the automakers GM, Ford and Stellantis. While the demands

Last week, the Fed's interest rate meeting continued to rate hike by 25 basis points without suspense, and the market also thought it was the last rate hike of the Fed in this round without suspense. When to cut interest rates has become a topic of discussion among analysts. Looking at the past interest rate increase and reduction cycle of the Federal Reserve, the time span from suspending the rate hike to starting to cut interest rates is about 10 months on average. According to the past law, that is, early next year, it is the time point for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates.However, at present, the market obviously doesn't think so. The market believes that the earliest time for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates will be the interest rate meeting in July this year, which
