  • The US data roughly meets expectations, and the market is turning to Friday's PCE data.

The number of initial jobless claims in the United States fell from 238,000 in the previous week to 233,000, while the final value of US GDP in the first quarter was 1.4%, in line with market expectations. At the same time, core durable goods orders fell disappointingly by 0.6% in May, while expectations were for a 0.1% increase. Therefore, without any big surprises, the market will soon turn to Friday's core PCE data.

Economists expect Friday's data to show that the Fed-favored core PCE price index will drop from 2.8% last month to 2.6%. Although this is the lowest level since March 2021, it is still above the Fed's 2% inflation target.

  • Bowman reiterated: no rate cuts until more pronounced inflation declines

Federal Reserve Board member Bowman reiterated on Thursday that she was not ready to support the central bank's rate cut in the face of persistently high inflation pressure. She believes that the Fed's current rate stance is still "restrictive," and even if monetary policy is maintained at current levels, price pressures will cool. She said she would still be willing to raise the federal funds rate target range at future meetings if future data shows that inflation progress is stalling or reversing.

  • The first debate of the 2024 US election is here! Focus on these four major issues.

  • IMF Rarely Criticizes the United States: Deficit Inflation, Heavy Debt, Trade Restrictions, and Banking Issues Create Downside Risks

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned Thursday that the United States' deficit is too large, its debt burden is too heavy, and warns that increasingly aggressive trade policies could be dangerous. While calling the world's largest economy "strong, vibrant, and adaptable," the IMF has issued an unusually harsh critique of the United States.

  • Bank of America: If the Japanese yen falls to 164.5, the risk of intervention by the Japanese authorities will increase.

Bank of America's FX strategist Shusuke pointed out that the next key point worth paying attention to in the trend of the yen's depreciation against the US dollar is the lowest level in 38 years, 164.5. He believes that if this level is reached, the risk of intervention by the Japanese Ministry of Finance will be significantly increased. The Bank of America strategist believes that the recent rise in the USD/JPY is partly due to the widening imbalance between supply and demand for the yen among domestic investors. Bank of America previously stated that it will continue to maintain 165 as a red line for the ministry's intervention.

  • The US Existing Home Sales Index unexpectedly fell to a record low, mainly impacted by high interest rates and other factors.

The US Existing Home Sales Index unexpectedly fell to a record low in May, and rising mortgage rates and high home prices discouraged potential buyers. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) said on Thursday that the index fell 2.1% to 70.8, the lowest level since 2001. NAR chief economist Lawrence Yun said that as housing inventory rises and demand falls, the supply and demand trend indicates that the upward momentum of house prices will slow in the next few months, but if the economy continues to create jobs, the increase in inventory will inevitably lead to more purchases, especially if mortgage rates fall.

Gamestop's surge has dramatically narrowed, with the trading platform considering unplugging the internet of US retail investors.
