I have some concerns about the Wednesday market rally following the release of CPI data showing lower-than-expected inflation. The rally might not be sustainable as the impact of the California wildfires and the U.S tariif create a complex situation for U.S. capital markets.  Impact of California Wildfires: Insurance Sector Strain: Insurance firms are selling bonds to cover damages, potentially pulling out of California.  Rising Bond Yields: As insurers liquidate bonds, this could drive up yields, making stocks less attractive compared to bonds. Inflation from Reconstruction: The need for rebuilding will increase demand for materials and labor, potentially pushing up inflation. Market Dynamics: Bond Yield Pressure: Higher bond yields might trigger a decline in stock values as inv

TOPShernice軒嬣 2000: @Ah_Meng The insurance companies have mitigated potential losses through reinsurance, which prevents a direct meltdown in the financial markets. They are likely to weather this crisis. Although oil and natural gas prices continue to rise, this can be counteracted by Trump's policy to increase US oil and gas output. However, tariffs and trade restrictions may impact the profitability of US companies unless the costs are passed onto consumers. If they are, it could lead to inflation. It’s similar to weight loss – the initial progress is easy, but the last stretch to see substantial results is the hardest. The effectiveness of Elon Musk in improving government efficiency remains unclear. He may face challenges in reducing the government workforce and could put himself at risk in doing so.

Mag-7 Lead to the Retrace

Hello everyone! Today i want to share some technical analysis with you!1.Mag-7 led today's retrace--while the rest of market played catching-up to yesterday's moves. $Cboe Volatility Index(VIX)$ Seems odd IF the softened CPI data does put FED back on track with more cuts. More likely that the rationale behind post-CPI rally was a misplaced delusion. Gap-Fill Coming at 5842.Image2.Rinse, repeat. [if a large gap-down open tmrw, then a high chance that $NASDAQ 100(NDX)$ would re-visit the lower blue trendline, for the sake of pattern perfection.]Image
