Apollo's chief economist: In the coming weeks, the USA economy will face a series of shocks.
Torsten Slok stated that the recent soft data in the USA is showing signs of weakening economic activity, which may soon affect the performance of hard data; the current USA economy also faces two major shocks from government layoffs and increased tariffs, and inflation levels are expected to remain high for a long time. It is anticipated that Powell will express more concerns about the "weakness of hard data" at the FOMC meeting on the 19th, focusing on growth issues.

The USA consumer market is showing signs of weakness, with spending becoming more cautious from supermarket consumers to high-end travelers. Several industry giants have warned in their earnings reports meetings that first-quarter sales fell short of expectations, and the outlook for the year may be more severe than Wall Street predicts. High interest rates, sustained inflation, fluctuating tariff policies, and government layoffs are exacerbating market uncertainty, leading to a noticeable decline in consumer confidence.
