  • The four major voting committees of the Federal Reserve are in unison: interest rates should remain high for a longer period of time

Several Federal Reserve officials said on the same day that as policymakers wait for more evidence that inflation is easing, the Federal Reserve should keep borrowing costs high for a longer period of time, which shows that they are not in a hurry to cut interest rates. The Federal Reserve's “Big Three” Williams recently stated that he has not seen the need to tighten policies at present; he is happy to see a slowdown in inflation, but it is not enough to cause interest rate cuts in the near future; Atlanta Federal Reserve Chairman Bostic believes that inflation progressed in April but has not formed a trend, so it may be appropriate to cut interest rates before the end of the year; Richmond Federal Reserve Chairman Barkin and Cleveland Federal Reserve Chairman Meister all believe that interest rates need to be kept high for a longer period of time to achieve the inflation target.

  • Well-known hedge fund executives warn that the Federal Reserve is unlikely to cut interest rates this year

Richard Tang, head of global markets at Rokos Capital Management, said that the trend of inflation has become very difficult to predict, especially in the context of the presidential election later this year. In an interview on Thursday, he said, “The Federal Reserve is unlikely to cut interest rates this year. We are about to have a very important presidential election, which will indeed have an impact on monetary policy. Therefore, after considering all of this, the probability that the Fed will cut interest rates or raise interest rates is almost always 5 to 5.”

  • The US CPI data that attracted the market's attention was actually released 30 minutes early, and the White House responded

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) said in its latest statement that before the April CPI and actual earnings data were officially released, the bureau “accidentally uploaded some documents to the website about 30 minutes in advance.” However, half an hour before the data was officially released, there were no sharp fluctuations in the market, which indicates that the early release did not attract investors' attention. Analysts believe that if investors are aware that the data is being released ahead of time, 30 minutes will still be enough time for them to respond. US White House press spokesman Jean-Pierre said that the early release of CPI data by BLS was a “careless move” and believes it can deal with the data leak.

  • The commodity index hit a new high during the year, and sticky inflation became a nightmare for the Federal Reserve

Although the slowdown in the US CPI increase in April greatly increased the possibility that the Fed will cut interest rates this year, at the same time, commodity prices have reached their highest level in a year, and sticky inflation may become a nightmare for the Fed. The data shows that the Bloomberg Commodity Spot Index, which tracks 24 energy, metals and agricultural contracts, has risen 8% since this year. Analysts believe this poses a serious threat to Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's efforts to fight inflation.

  • How many Nvidias did the “Comrade of Soros” actually slash? Here's the answer: at least 70%!
