The market continues to focus on economic data. The U.S. consumer price index for August will be released on Wednesday, followed by the producer price index and retail sales the following day, which will be a test for U.S. stocks. The U.S. consumer price index rose 3.2 percent in July, the first increase in more than a year, and the market expects the increase to expand to 3.6 percent in August. The annual rate of core CPI, however, likely eased slightly from 4.7 percent in July. If the CPI report is broadly as expected, the focus will shift to PPI and retail sales on Thursday. Analysts predict surprisingly strong consumer spending in the third quarter could be the most important factor in prompting the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates again in September or November, putting retail sales in particular focus. Apple will hold the autumn new product launch conference in the early morning of Beijing time on Tuesday (12), the iPhone is the highlight, foreign media reported that Apple will be in accordance with the practice of previous years, the iPhone 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro and Pro Max, rather than the previously speculated Pro Ultra model. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Sunday she is increasingly confident the U.S. economy will be able to make a soft landing, which means containing inflation without causing significant damage to the labor market. Yellen noted that all measures of inflation are falling. While the U.S. unemployment rate rose in August after hitting a new low at the start of the year, it was not caused by mass layoffs. The unemployment rate hit 3.8 percent last month, in part because the labor force participation rate rose to its highest level since February 2020, just before the coronavirus outbreak. * 9:30 ~ 10:30 every day, real-time sharing of exclusive screening options large order, welcome to click to subscribe.
