  • Before Wednesday, US CPI growth slowed in July, and futures of the three major US stock indexes rose.

In the United States, CPI rose 8.5% in July from a year earlier, with an expected increase of 8.7% and a previous increase of 9.1%.After the release of CPI data, the futures of the three major stock indexes of US stocks rose in a straight line. Nasdaq futures rose nearly 2%, Dow futures rose nearly 1%, and S & P 500 index futures rose 1%.

Institutional review of US CPI data said that US inflation slowed significantly in July, giving US monetary policy makers and consumers hope that inflation has peaked.

Forexlive, a financial website, said the inflation report was the green light that some stock bulls were looking forward to. The implied probability of raising interest rates by 75 basis points in September fell to 31 per cent from 68 per cent yesterday.

The dollar index, DXY, hit 105, down 1.05 per cent on the day.

  • The deepest upside down in 22 years! Key Treasury yields hang upside down to nearly 50 basis points

On Tuesday, in anticipation of a rise in Fed interest rates to a high of about 3.5 per cent from the current 2.25 per cent range, the inverted 2-year / 10-year yield curve widened further, with the two-year yield nearly 50 basis points higher than the 10-year yield, a level last reached in August 2000. If the upside-down continues to expand by a few basis points, it will be the biggest since 1980, indicating that the US economy will completely fall into a state of stagflation similar to that of that year, and that the market expects Powell to continue to raise interest rates aggressively, just like Volcker.

  • Bank of America clients buy technology stocks at the fastest pace since 2008

Bank of America Corporation's Jill Hall released a report on Tuesday that the bank's clients poured money into the technology industry last week at the fastest pace since 2008, and that investors' rapid switch to technology stocks may be driven by the recent sharp rebound in the stock index.

Specific data show that Bank of America Corporation's clients bought more than $3 billion in technology stocks last week, with total net inflows of US stocks reaching $1.8 billion. But investors face huge risks as the earnings correction will drag technology stocks lower, Hall said. This means that the technology industry may no longer be treated as a defensive investment by investors as it has been in the past decade.
