Just now, the global financial circles were set ablaze by a heavyweight news! At 8 PM on August 22, Eastern Time, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell delivered a speech titled 'Monetary Policy and the Fed's Assessment Framework' at the highly anticipated Jackson Hole conference, directly throwing down the gauntlet—issuing clear signals for a rate cut in September while announcing a revised monetary policy framework, instantly igniting global markets!

In his speech, every word from Powell struck investors like a hammer. The market had been embroiled in debates about the Fed's future direction, but with Powell's statement, the expectations for a September rate cut soared instantly.

Huatai Securities quickly released a research report, pointing out that Powell's speech released strong guidance for a September rate cut. Furthermore, Huatai Securities still maintains its prediction for two more rate cuts within the year, while stating that non-farm payroll data will become the most critical reference indicator for the Fed's subsequent rate cut path, with each release of non-farm payroll data likely to trigger new rounds of intense market fluctuations.

The three major U.S. stock indices surged sharply, market sentiment was ignited instantly, and investors flocked into the market as if they were already celebrating the dividends brought by the rate cut. U.S. Treasury yields also experienced significant volatility, with funds frantically searching for new investment directions, and global asset prices shaking in tandem.

Against this backdrop, investors were completely unsettled, re-evaluating their investment portfolios for fear of missing out on the wealth opportunities brought by this rate cut. Many began to ponder whether their asset allocation needed a major overhaul. Which assets would soar during the rate cut cycle, and which might face a Waterloo?

Whether professional investors or ordinary stockholders, everyone is closely monitoring subsequent developments. Moving forward, every action by the Federal Reserve and every economic data release could become a turning point for market trends. How the market will unfold next is something we eagerly await!
