CSOP USD Money Market Fund - 20241014

• September FOMC meeting minutes revealed a split decision on rate cuts, with the majority favoring a 50 bp reduction. However, as last week's data came out more robust than anticipated, it is forecasted that the pace of rate cuts will be slower moving forward.

• Last Thursday saw the release of weak labor market data, with initial claims rising to 258k (consensus: 230k) amidst disruptions arising from Hurricane Helene and Michigan’s layoffs.

• Inflation print came out robust, with core CPI rising 0.3% (consensus: 0.2%) in September. Core goods prices rose more than expected, supported by higher vehicle and apparel prices, while core services prices were slightly softer, except a notable 0.7% increase in medical care services prices.

• Nevertheless, we expect CSOPUMM to continue to deliver stable yield in the near term. As of 20241011, the fund has gross yield of 5.19% and net yield at 4.86%. ^
