  • Before the Tuesday market, the three major indices rose collectively

  • Wall Street is full of warnings! US dividends are piling up, and the decline is expected to continue

Citibank strategist Chris Montagu said that any further weakness in the US stock market is likely to intensify as investors sell large numbers of long futures positions; the S&P 500 has $52 billion long positions, 88% of which are in a loss state. Strategists believe this is a risk facing the market. A J.P. Morgan strategist warned not to expect an optimistic corporate earnings season to push the US stock market higher, because most of the optimism has already been digested after this year's record rise. Morgan Stanley strategist Michael Wilson also warned about the impact of higher interest rates on stock valuations.

  • The MSCI global stock index fell 4% in April, and the RSI is close to the oversold level

After risky assets were sold off this month, a global benchmark stock index fell sharply, approaching the level of oversold. The MSCI Global Index's 14-day Relative Strength Index fell below 33 on Tuesday, to the level it had been since October last year. If the index falls below 30, it indicates that market momentum may have reversed, as the sell-off may have been excessive. The index fell by a cumulative total of nearly 4% in April, and is expected to record its first monthly decline since October last year, due to the weakening of the Federal Reserve's easing bets and the escalating conflict in the Middle East weakening the attractiveness of the stock market.

  • What signal? The dovish voting committee of the Federal Reserve no longer proposes to cut interest rates three times during the year!

San Francisco Federal Reserve Chairman Daly reiterated on Monday EST that the Federal Reserve is in no hurry to adjust interest rates. She pointed out that economic growth is steady, the job market is strong, and inflation remains high. Just two weeks ago, Daly also said that it would be “reasonable” to cut interest rates three times this year. She didn't restate this view on Monday, nor did she give any clear signal about when she might be ready to consider cutting interest rates; she only said she needed to be convinced that inflation was moving in the direction of 2%.

  • The Federal Reserve is expected to postpone interest rate cuts, and the US dollar index is expected to record its biggest weekly gain in a year

Growing expectations that US interest rates will remain high for a longer period of time have prompted investors to buy the dollar in a big way, and the dollar is expected to record its biggest weekly gain in more than a year. On Tuesday, the Bloomberg dollar index rose for the fifth consecutive trading day to its highest level since November last year. Chris Turner, head of foreign exchange strategy at Dutch International Group, said: “It is difficult to counter the dollar's bullish trend right now.” He said that the Bloomberg dollar index may rise another 1.2% to 1,280 points, which will be the highest level since October last year.

  • Citi is optimistic about the price of gold: it may rise to 3,000 US dollars/ounce in the next 6-18 months

Gold prices and demand have risen significantly due to heightened political tension in the Middle East and widespread market concerns about the economic outlook. Citigroup analysts are optimistic about the future of gold. They predict that in the next 6 to 18 months, the price of gold could reach $3,000 per ounce. Citibank analysts said that gold has been decoupled from US interest rates and the US dollar, indicating that factors including strong physical consumption and central bank purchases are supporting the market. Citi raised its 2024 and 2025 gold price forecasts by 6.8% to $2,350 per ounce and 40% to $2,875 per ounce, respectively.
