I am optimistic about the market. But with theincrease on interest rates and information, I am skeptical. The stock market has been changing for new investors like us. So at this moment will wait and see what September brings.

I am that there will be 2 rate cuts. Once the inflation data comes in lower next month and creation of lower jobs in the market. The 1st cut will be in mid July and the other in Oct before election. Market      will undergo a correction after the election results. Good luck.

💰📈💡 Unraveling the Interest Rate Conundrum: Analyzing the Impact on Americans' Financial Landscape 📊💸💡 Higher interest rates were anticipated to inflict considerable pain on Americans, yet the reality has defied expectations thus far. The Federal Reserve's decision to maintain rates at 23-year highs underscores a cautious stance, with Chair Jerome Powell signaling readiness to adapt should adverse effects materialize. Progressives initially feared that elevated rates would trigger unemployment spikes, but the robust job market has defied such projections.

Going to shake the market

US stocks closed lower on Tuesday as investors weighed the release of economic data showing a rise in labor costs and declining consumer confidence against the backdrop of the ongoing Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, where policymakers are expected to decide on the direction of interest rates. This uncertainty, coupled with bearish sentiments, contributed to the market's downtrend.

Hi all! I think it is a no brainer. Most likely the market will name Fed and no rate cut in near future as the main reason for the upcoming correction due to sticky inflation. If you take a closer look at the global markets, you will notice that oil is down , gold and copper is down and even crypto is down. That is a very strong indicator that equities market is heading for a core correction.  The only investment asset that is going up in general is yield bonds. Cash is king for the near future. You will have to take a closer look at your portfolio and make adjustments accordingly. May the market be with you!

April 2024 is not bad for me, about 2% paper gain. Thanks to HK stocks started technical bull market, and dividend stocks demonstrate resilient. $TRACKER FUND(02800)$   $LION OCBC HSTECH ETF S$(HST.SI)$   $China Everbright(U9E.SI)$   I have locked 9k dividend income for year 2024.

If the FOMC decides to keep interest rates unchanged in the upcoming meeting, despite unconvincing inflation trends that don't strongly support rate cuts, this could signal a cautious approach from the Federal Reserve. The decision to hold rates steady suggests that the Fed might be prioritizing economic stability and monitoring further economic indicators before committing to any rate adjustments. This approach could reflect concerns about potential inflationary pressures not fully abating, or uncertainty in the economic outlook, prompting a wait-and-see strategy to better gauge the need for future monetary policy adjustments. If the Federal Reserve opts to keep interest rates unchanged in the face of persistent inflation, this decision could negatively affect the market in several ways.

All the economic data releases only point to one outcome: fed leaving rates unchanged.  Data doesn't support rate cut since inflationary pressures aren't easing & fed has no incentive to hike more since it will bring bad press (elections coming this Nov). It will just be cafe chit chit session but fret not, the economists will help to create some korean drama or  Christopher Nolan movie out of it, to give the markers some excitement.  So skip the fed and go straight to the analyst reports!

This uncertainty, coupled with bearish sentiments, contributed to the market's downtrend. Key Market Movements: - The S&P 500 index declined by 79.92 points, or 1.56%, to close at 5,036.25 points. - The Nasdaq Composite index fell by 325.26 points, or 2.00%, to close at 15,664.13 points. - The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 574.08 points, or 1.47%, to close at 37,823.57 points. Economic Data Impacting the Market: - US labor costs increased by a higher-than-expected 1.2%

Fed has made clear very well already. If inflation rate never dropped below 3%, interest rate will remain clearly on track not to be reduced in the near term.  In my view, the earliest sign of rate cut is in September 2024. Else, it will happen next year in 2025 already.  When I invest, I look for longer term view instead of short term focus. Whether interest rates go up or down, the most important point is whether the companies I am investing in are making money. I will always stay invested for the longer term  Happy investing

The decision will provide clarity. Money sits on the sidelines because there isn't a clear indication when an exact rate cut will come. If someone grew a pair and put an actual stake in the ground and said when this will happen, we can just move on with our trading lives. 

Mixed and volatile data from US labour market and consumer expenditures and confidence make the call on when rates will be cut quite challenging, but the sentiment continues to be that those rates cuts will happen before end of the year, with one rate cut very probable and two cuts less probable now than before, but still more possible than not. The important question is: did the market price that already and the bull is just slowing down before stopping on the news and transform to a bear? I still see growth potential and bullish push until Sept at least, but then a sudden change as soon as rates are cut, with many taking profits and move into more conservative grounds, and the more confident with more risk appetite still keep on investing in speculative, short term, case-by-cas

US Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) will release US’s Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) data for for March 2024 on Fri, 26 Apr 2024 morning. Is this reason why US market had a mixed performance on Wed, 24 Apr 2024, on the run up to inflation data release. (see below) By the time market called it a day: DJIA: -0.11% (-42.77 to 38,460.92) S&P 500: +0.02% (+1.08 to 5,071.63). Nasdaq: +0.10% (+16.11 to 15,712.75). *FYI, the PCE is the Fed’s go to reference material when shaping its monetary policy. Comparison. US Core CPI for March 2024 (3.8%) remained unchanged from February 2024 data and was +0.1% higher than Wall Street 3.7% expectations. What is the likelihood that Core PCE remain status quo at 2.8% or (better still) matches Market expectations of 2.6%? Afterall, the endgame o

Another sign higher for longer is back: According to the New York Fed, wage inflation is sticky around 5%. This is more than double the Fed's long-term 2% target that they continue to stand by. Needless to say, 5% wage inflation should not come as a surprise after the latest inflation data. CPI inflation is now up for 2 straight months and PPI inflation nearly doubled year-over-year. We are not ready for lower rates yet. So now the US economy has: 1) Dropping confidence 2) 4 months of hotter inflation 3) $2 trillion annual deficits 4) ~$34.5trillion in debt 5) ~1.5 million full-time jobs decline with 1.9M part-time jobs created over a year What could possibly go wrong?

BREAKING: Prediction markets now see a 16% chance of at least 1 interest rate HIKE in 2024. Meanwhile, prediction markets now see a record high ~38% chance of 0 interest rate CUTS in 2024. The base case shows just 1 rate cut in September 2024, down from 6 cuts expected just 4 months ago. In January, odds of another rate HIKE were at just 1% as the Fed seemingly "pivoted" in December 2023. What happened to the Fed pivot? Needless to say, the Fed pivot has quickly disappeared. Tomorrow, the Fed will make it clear that higher for longer policy is back and another HIKE could be possible. The Fed still has a lot more work to do.

The market has repaired itself from the war fear sell off and positioned itself to be ready for fomc, the stance now is more neutral (before today earnings) indicated that the market is not worry much about the recent economic, or has priced in the data, tomorrow fomc should give the market a decisive move, either for a new high or a lower high at daily chart, vix is holding around 15, interest yield is around 4.7 indicate the market is still optimistic, if not solid good news from fomc, expect market to retest the weekly low.
