Must-read for retail investors! Powell's dovish rate cut brings easy profit opportunities next week on non-farm payroll night
Federal Reserve Chairman Powell suddenly drops a bombshell! This morning Beijing time, Old Powell directly stated in Washington: interest rate cuts may happen this year. As soon as this news broke, global capital markets were instantly in turmoil —
Old Powell's core attitude is very clear: although U.S. inflation data has eased, it is still far from the 2% target, and the labor market is surprisingly hot, with the unemployment rate steady at a low of 4.2%. However, he left a loophole, saying that the final decision still depends on the economic data in the coming months, and now is not the time to rush into action.
The market reacted as quickly as lightning:
The three major U.S. stock indexes collectively plummeted, with the Dow Jones dropping more than 300 points during the session
Treasury yields soared like a rocket, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield instantly breaking 4%
Bitcoin plummeted 8% within half an hour, while Ethereum directly broke down
But there is a hidden mystery here: if the June FOMC meeting truly signals a rate cut, the market will definitely go wild. Tech stocks may directly enter a runaway mode, and those halved altcoins in the crypto space might collectively rebound. However, I must remind everyone, Old Powell's words are watertight, and all decisions depend on future data — in other words, changes can happen at any time.
Here comes the key point! Investors must now closely watch three signals:
Will next week's non-farm payroll data explode?
Can the CPI data on June 12 fall below 4%?
Will the Fed's dot plot collectively turn dovish?
This operation is truly heart-pounding. Old Powell says "stay patient" while actually engaging in psychological warfare with the market. I can guarantee that every economic report in the next two months will trigger a market earthquake. Those still on the sidelines must now prepare their stop-loss orders and adjust their positions — the real storm may come before July.
Currently, the market is turbulent, walking alone is lonely, follow me for daily spot potential layouts and bull market strategy layouts.
