Federal Reserve's Harker: May Temporarily Hold Rates Steady

2025.02.08 00:32:20

February 8th: On this day, the US January seasonally adjusted non-farm payrolls reached 143,000. This figure is significantly lower than the market's expected level of 170,000 and hits a new low since October of last year. Federal Reserve's Gullsby provided comments on the macro data, stating, "This is a rather robust non-farm payroll report. It appears that we are on the verge of achieving full employment. Based on recent observations, I am optimistic that tariffs will not ultimately pose a significant obstacle to trade. I am satisfied with the current economic development path. Tariffs may act as a 'wrench' in the supply chain. Wage growth is roughly in line with the 2% inflation level. Long-term market-oriented inflation expectations suggest that the market believes the Fed will be able to keep inflation under control at 2%." "Currently, the Federal Reserve is keeping interest rates unchanged. However, in the next 12 to 18 months, interest rates will be slightly lower than the current level. Under greater uncertainty, the pace of interest rate cuts will slow down. In the process of achieving the 2% inflation target, we may temporarily maintain interest rates unchanged. The neutral balance point for interest rates has decreased. Stable interest rates need to be achieved on a 'cautious' timetable. I do not think the Federal Reserve will be involved in any sovereign wealth fund." (Jin Shi)

Source: Insider According to sources: OPEC+ may further increase its production target by around 188,000 barrels per day starting from July.

June 7 — According to CNBC, which cited three OPEC+ sources, the group is set to approve raising its oil production targets for the fourth time in just a few months this Sunday, even as the ongoing U.S.-Iran war keeps several OPEC+ members from boosting output. Seven core OPEC+ members already increased their production quotas by nearly 600,000 barrels per day (bpd) between April and June. However, actual production has fallen sharply due to export cuts from Gulf region members. OPEC data shows average production hit 33.19 million bpd in April, down from 42.77 million bpd in February. Sources say those same seven members will likely vote this Sunday to lift production targets by roughly 188,000 bpd starting in July—matching the size of the June increase.

「Stock God」 Serenity: Price Increase Does Not Necessarily Create Value, Avoid Companies with 'Toxic' Financing Structures or Debt Overhang

On June 7th, self-proclaimed "Stock God" Serenity posted on social media, alerting investors to two critical factors for investment returns: a company’s capital structure and changes in its outstanding share count. They emphasized these elements are make-or-break for gains, citing the following examples: - IREN: This stock uses financing strategies that cause heavy share dilution. Every time its price bounces, sellers push it back down—Serenity classifies it as essentially a "bad stock." - NBIS: Up 153% year-to-date, this stock’s rally stems from an optimized financing structure, including moves like direct financing and convertible bond combinations, per Serenity. - CRWV: The company is facing surging debt interest costs, and it took out high-interest loans to fund GPU purchases. This will erode its long-term free cash flow, Serenity warned. Serenity added a key caveat: if a company has strong fundamentals, investors may consider buying after existing shares have been diluted. But fo

The UK government plans to procure AI chips from domestic companies to enhance global competitiveness

June 7, per a report from the U.K.’s *Daily Telegraph*, the British government plans to purchase AI chips from tech companies to encourage these firms to stay and grow their operations in the U.K. U.K. Technology Minister Liz Kendall will unveil the related plan during London Tech Week. The proposal outlines that the government will carry out "strategic procurement" of semiconductor equipment manufactured by local tech companies. This move aims to directly support the U.K.’s domestic chip and AI sectors through government orders, boost companies’ willingness to expand and invest in the U.K., and prevent key tech firms and talent from relocating to overseas markets. In simple terms, the British administration hopes to use government procurement to create stable demand for local AI and semiconductor businesses, thereby solidifying the U.K.’s standing in global AI competition.
