Overview of Key Events This Week

  • US Treasury Secretary Bessent and several FOMC voting members are scheduled to deliver speeches.

US Treasury Secretary Bessent and Federal Reserve officials will make密集 speeches next week. On November 12, Williams, the permanent voting member of the FOMC and President of the New York Federal Reserve, will speak at 22:20; Hasson, the 2026 FOMC voting member and President of the Philadelphia Federal Reserve, will subsequently deliver a speech on fintech at 23:00; at 23:45, US Treasury Secretary Bessent will speak. On November 13 at 01:15, Bostic, the 2027 FOMC voting member and President of the Atlanta Federal Reserve, will deliver remarks.

On November 14, Musalem, the St. Louis Fed President and 2025 FOMC voting member; Hammack, the Cleveland Fed President and 2026 FOMC voting member; Bostic, the Atlanta Fed President and 2027 FOMC voting member; and Schmid, the Kansas City Fed President and 2025 FOMC voting member, are all scheduled to speak.

The Fed's decision to cut interest rates again in December remains uncertain. This week, some Fed officials appear undecided about whether to cut rates again next month, while others seem reluctant to continue supporting rate cuts. Meanwhile, Milan, recently appointed by Trump as a Fed governor, continues to urge accelerating the pace of rate cuts. The divergent messages they convey align with Fed Chair Powell’s description last week of “serious internal disagreements” within the central bank.

  • Government shutdown continues, leaving CPI and PPI data releases in suspense.

In a market filled with uncertainty due to the government shutdown, whether the scheduled release of the US October CPI and PPI data next week can proceed as planned has become a major question mark.

Approximately two-thirds of the CPI index price data require field collection by data collectors visiting physical stores. Due to staff leave, no field collection was conducted in October, meaning the monthly data release may either be completely canceled (the first time since the index was established) or most of the data will need to be estimated, impacting the quality of the report.

The market expects that the October CPI will increase by 0.2% month-over-month, while the year-over-year growth rate may slow to 2.9%. If market expectations materialize, it would indicate that inflationary pressures have not broadly accelerated, thereby giving the Federal Reserve a "green light" to cut interest rates again in December.

In addition, market liquidity will face a dual impact next week: the US Treasury plans to auction $125 billion in government bonds, alongside approximately $40 billion in corporate bond issuance. The current money market is already under liquidity strain due to the government shutdown and Treasury cash hoarding, and this wave of bond issuance could have effects comparable to multiple interest rate hikes.

  • AMD Annual Financial Analyst Day Event

On November 11,$Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.US)$will host its Annual Financial Analyst Day in New York, an event regarded by the market as a significant upcoming catalyst for the company's stock price. According to a report by Bank of America, AMD may focus on unveiling substantial positive developments during this event rather than disclosing them in recent earnings reports. The bank has raised its target price to $300 while emphasizing that AMD holds less than 30% of the market share in a related industry valued at hundreds of billions of dollars, indicating considerable growth potential.

Currently$Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.US)$AMD’s MI450 series has garnered support from giants like Oracle and Meta. Its data center GPU business is projected to generate $14 billion in revenue by 2026. This Analyst Day is expected to further disclose the technology roadmap and long-term development plans, providing critical insights for investors.

Investors should also pay attention to any potential risks that may be mentioned during the event. JPMorgan and other institutions have noted that AMD faces fierce competition from larger rivals such as NVIDIA and Broadcom, and the transition to rack-scale systems may exert short-term pressure on gross margins.

  • China will release its industrial production and retail sales data for October.

On November 14, China will publish key economic data for October, including retail sales, industrial production, and housing prices across 70 cities. The State Council Information Office will also hold a press conference to discuss the performance of the national economy on the same day.

CICC expects that, driven by pro-growth policies, domestic demand-related output, demand, and prices may see short-term improvements in October. On the production side, manufacturing of raw materials has shown signs of recovery, boosting industrial production sentiment. On the demand side, trade-in policies have stimulated consumption in automobiles, home appliances, and kitchen/bathroom renovations, supporting retail sales growth. Infrastructure investment is expected to maintain a relatively high growth rate, while declines in commercial housing transaction areas have notably narrowed. Overall, against the backdrop of policy efforts stabilizing Q4 growth, economic activity is showing signs of short-term stabilization.

  • Tencent, JD.com, SMIC, Circle, CoreWeave, and others are set to announce their earnings results.

Next week,$Tencent (00700.HK)$$JD.com (JD.US)$$Bilibili (BILI.US)$$SMIC (00981.HK)$will successively release their US stock or Hong Kong stock earnings reports; meanwhile, new AI computing power leaders$CoreWeave(CRWV.US)$and$NEBIUS(NBIS.US)$, stablecoin leader$Circle(CRCL.US)$, and quantum computing company$Quantum Computing(QUBT.US)$, as well as$思科(CSCO.US)$$Occidental Petroleum (OXY.US)$$Disney (DIS.US)$$Quantum Computing(QUBT.US)$and other US companies are also set to release their earnings reports.

Market Expectations$Tencent (00700.HK)$Revenue in the third quarter grew by approximately 14% year-over-year, driven by dual growth engines from gaming and advertising businesses; the market forecasts$CoreWeave(CRWV.US)$that revenue will continue its explosive growth trajectory. However, concerns remain regarding its high valuation, elevated leverage, and client concentration risks associated with Microsoft.

  • Buffett to release Thanksgiving letter to shareholders tomorrow

$Berkshire Hathaway-A(BRK.A.US)$A statement released on Friday reads: "Since the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting in May, Mr. Buffett has rarely made public comments. Tomorrow (November 10), Berkshire Hathaway will issue a press release containing Buffett’s statements on philanthropy, Berkshire Hathaway, and other matters that may be of interest to shareholders and related parties of Berkshire Hathaway."

The significance of this letter lies in the fact that Buffett has rarely appeared in public in recent years, and this may be his last shareholder letter as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway. A closer look at the Berkshire Hathaway announcement suggests that the mention of 'philanthropy' likely refers to his annual Thanksgiving donation to family foundations, while 'Berkshire Hathaway and other matters' may include a farewell message.

By the end of this winter, next year’s Berkshire Hathaway annual report shareholder letter will be penned by the new CEO, Abel, and Buffett will not attend next year’s annual meeting. Given that this contemporary 'Oracle of Omaha' seems intent on reducing his future public engagements, he may now be preparing to deliver his 'final lesson' to long-term investors who have followed him.
