Soft Inflation Data Boosts Small Caps, Real Estate, Regional Banks; Traders Anticipate Fed Rate Cuts As Stocks React
A cooler-than-expected U.S. inflation report fueled a rally on Wall Street, ahead of the highly anticipated Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting at 2:00 p.m. Wednesday.
在周三下午2点高度关注的联邦公开市场委员会(FOMC)会议之前,美国一份低于预期的通胀报告刺激了华尔街的涨势。
What happened: Inflation slowed to 3.3% annually in May, below both the expected and previous rate of 3.4%. On a monthly basis, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) remained flat, below the anticipated 0.1% increase and a significant drop from April's 0.3% rise.
发生了什么:5月份通货膨胀率为3.3%,低于预期和先前的3.4%水平。从月度来看,消费者价格指数(CPI)保持不变,低于预期的0.1%增长,并显著低于4月的0.3%上涨。
Additionally, the core measure of inflation, which excludes energy and food, weakened more than predicted. Annually, core inflation slowed from 3.6% to 3.4%, falling short of the 3.5% expectation.
此外,排除能源和食品的核心通胀率的增长低于预期。年度核心通胀从3.6%下降至3.4%,未达到3.5%的预期。
Why it matters: Lower-than-expected inflation data is bolstering hopes for a steady return to the Federal Reserve's 2% target and raising expectations for interest rate cuts later this year.
为什么要关注:低于预期的通胀数据增加了人们对恢复到联邦储备委员会2%的目标并增加对今年晚些时候降息的预期的希望。
Markets are now assigning a probability of over 70% for a September rate cut, up from 54% before the inflation report. Notably, Fed futures now indicate 55 basis points of rate cuts priced in by the end of the year, implying two rate cuts.
市场现在给9月降息的概率分配了超过70%,比通胀报告之前54%的概率高。值得注意的是,联邦期货现在表明到今年年底已定价降息55个基点,意味着两次降息。
Prospects of a declining cost of borrowing are aiding interest-rate sensitive sectors and stocks, which had lagged in recent weeks due to fears of prolonged higher rates.
借贷成本下降的前景正在提振基于利率敏感性的板块和股票,这些板块和股票由于担心利率持续上涨而落后于最近几周。
Market reactions: Small caps, as tracked by the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:IWM), were the brightest spot in the market, opening 2.9% higher and on track for the best-performing day year to date.
小盘股,由iShares罗素2000指数ETF(纽约证券交易所:IWM)跟踪,是市场上最亮眼的板块,开盘涨2.9%,有望成为年度表现最佳的一天。
