  • Tonight, the 'little non-farm', initial jobless claims and the minutes of the Fed meeting will be released one after another.

Significantly lower than expected! The US ADP added 150,000 new jobs in June, with an expected increase of 163,000 and a previous value increase of 152,000. ADP's chief economist, Nela Richardson, pointed out that employment growth is solid but not broad-based. If recruitment in the leisure and hospitality industry does not rebound, June will be a disappointing month.

In addition, the number of first-time unemployment claims in the United States for the week of June 29 was 238,000, with an expected 235,000 and a previous value of 233,000.

  • "Fed Loudspeaker": Powell talks extensively about inflation progress, letting interest rate cuts return to the agenda.

Nick Timiraos, known as the “Fed megaphone,” wrote in his latest article that Fed Chairman Powell’s talk about inflation progress overnight brought back interest rate cuts into view. Powell said that he was satisfied with the situation where the inflation rate rebounded at the beginning of the year and then resumed its decline, but he said that it is too early to assert whether the Fed will cut interest rates in late summer as investors are increasingly expecting. Powell's speech highlights a cautious optimism that faded after disappointing inflation data in April. However, his cautious attitude towards interest rate cuts indicates that the possibility of the Fed cutting interest rates later this month is still small, and he refused to say whether he is preparing for an interest rate cut in September.

Before Citi made the above predictions, the benchmark index had risen sharply by 14.5% in the first half of this year. Citi gave several target level forecasts for the S&P 500 index in 2024 (5600 points), mid-2025 (5700 points) and the end of 2025 (5800 points).
