Global macro

  • Goldman Sachs: Predicting that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by 25 basis points for six consecutive times.

Goldman Sachs said on Wednesday that it expects the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by 25 basis points at each meeting from November 2024 to June 2025, with a final interest rate range of 3.25-3.5%. Last month, the Federal Reserve cut the overnight rate by 50 basis points, citing increased confidence that inflation will continue to decline to its annual target of 2%. The overnight rate is currently between 4.75% and 5.00%, guiding interbank payment rates and affecting consumer rates.

  • Powell Faces Criticism: Excessive emphasis on 'data dependence' will trigger market volatility.

In recent years, Federal Reserve Chair Powell has often emphasized phrases such as 'data dependence' and 'making decisions at each meeting'. However, this seemingly cautious bureaucratic style is facing criticism from economists. The past three months of employment data have illustrated this unusual situation: the job data for July and August was notably weak. Therefore, under Powell's leadership, the Federal Reserve initiated an oversized 50 basis point rate cut to start this rate-cutting cycle.

However, the pace of job growth rebounded in September, seemingly erasing the previous weakness. Traders have withdrawn bets on further significant rate cuts, and some economists have begun criticizing the Federal Reserve for being overly panicked and taking action too quickly. This is the problem that has trapped Powell, economists, and global markets: everyone's focus is firmly set on the recurring cycle of the Fed's decision every six weeks.

  • Legendary investor Druckenmiller: Banks and cryptocurrencies rise together, the market is 'very confident' that Trump will win.

Druckenmiller mentioned that the market is currently digesting the expectation of a Trump victory before the upcoming U.S. presidential election next month.

  • Deutsche Bank: If the Republican Party "sweeps" the U.S. election, the dollar will receive a significant boost.

Deutsche Bank stated that if the Republican Party achieves a sweeping victory in the upcoming U.S. election, with Trump being elected president and the Republicans controlling Congress, the dollar will receive a significant boost.

  • IEA, EIA, OPEC are all telling you one thing: the outlook for the oil market next year is quite pessimistic.

Currently, many professionals in the oil market generally hold a pessimistic view of the outlook for the crude oil market next year. This pessimism stems from a belief that the oil supply in 2025 will further exceed global demand, with supply growth outside the OPEC alliance playing a major role. In their latest monthly report released this month, the three major oil institutions - IEA (International Energy Agency), EIA (U.S. Energy Information Administration), OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) have all reduced their estimates of next year's crude oil demand, thereby reinforcing this view.

  • BlackRock: Focus on investment opportunities in the Japanese and Chinese stock markets as valuations are relatively attractive.

They remain bullish on the Japanese stock market as macroeconomic prospects in Japan are improving and corporate reforms are enhancing corporate profitability and shareholder returns.
