  • On Tuesday before the market opened, the three major futures indexes of the US stocks weakened and oscillated.

The retail sales growth rate of the USA in May was 0.1%, expected to be 0.3%, and the previous value was 0%.

  • Goldman Sachs and the Federal Reserve are singing a different tune: they will still cut interest rates twice in the year.

Last week, the Federal Reserve lowered its expectations for interest rate cuts to one time this year at its June policy meeting. However, economists at Goldman Sachs apparently do not "buy in", and still expect two interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve this year. Economists, including Jan Hatzius, wrote in their latest report, "Despite the Fed's surprisingly tough forecast last week, we are satisfied with our forecast for two rate cuts in September and December."

  • Economists: The timing of the Fed's "first cut" is most important, not the amplitude.

Mohamed El-Erian, Chief Economic Advisor at Allianz, believes that the timing of the first rate cut is crucial for judging the cumulative amplitude of the entire rate cut cycle and the economic situation. He said that the first rate cut can make the market more confident in pricing the entire rate cut cycle, but the Fed's current practice of relying too much on data lacks policy anchor, which makes the fixed income market lose important guiding role.

  • The only "big bear" on Wall Street is still holding his ground: Morgan Stanley believes that the US stocks will fall 23% this year!

Marko Kolanovic, chief market strategist at Morgan Stanley, expects the target price of the S&P 500 index to be 4,200 points at the end of 2024, which means that the index may fall by 23% below the current level, which is also the lowest target on Wall Street. He wrote in the report, "Our cautious stance is based on our view that there is no readjusted upside space, and any upside space must come from profit growth. But we believe that even in the best case, earnings growth is not enough to bear the risks of stocks."

  • Oaktree Capital Max: Economic stimulus policies and industrial reshoring benefit it.

Howard Marks, co-founder and co-chairman of Oaktree Capital, believes that the economic stimulus policy of the Biden administration and the reshoring of the manufacturing industry are the main reasons for the recent strong performance of the US economy, and the resilience of the US economy has always affected the decision-making of the Federal Reserve and the performance of the US stock market. In addition, the reshoring of the manufacturing industry caused by the trend of "reverse globalization" has also helped the US economy remain strong.

  • Veteran on Wall Street: The US economy is entering a corporate bankruptcy cycle.

Danielle DiMartino Booth, CEO of market research firm QI Research, recently pointed out that a wave of large-scale bankruptcy is about to hit the US economy, which may cause more and more Americans to lose their jobs. She pointed out that in the past year, the number of bankruptcies in American companies has been rising, indicating that many companies are struggling in the face of rising interest rates and a tightening financial environment.
