Entering May, US stocks are back on track. While Federal Reserve officials are generally cautious about interest rate cuts, the market still sees recent weak US economic data as a strong signal to push for policy easing.
As risk appetite recovers, the VIX panic index, which measures market volatility, is approaching a low level in recent years. This week, the US will release key inflation data, which may once again influence the judgment of the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut point, thereby triggering a new round of market fluctuations.
Inflation expectations rise, pressure on the Federal Reserve intensifies
Following Powell's statement last two weeks to dispel market concerns about interest rate hikes, job market data showed that the number of non-farm payrolls in April was far below expectations. The gap was the biggest since December 2021.

According to data released in early May, the initial value of consumer confidence in the US plummeted, and the unexpected rebound in inflation expectations for the next year raised market concerns that the US economy will fall into stagnation. The lower than expected consumer confidence data is a warning sign, indicating that strong consumer spending should not be taken for granted. Furthermore...
