President Trump issued an executive order increasing scrutiny on non-citizens' banking activities, directing the Treasury to identify red flags related to tax evasion and illegal account ownership. The order is less extensive than a previous proposal requiring banks to collect citizenship data, which industry executives warned would be burdensome. Analysts view the changes positively, as they aim to maintain financial access while enhancing immigration controls.

The Shanghai Composite has reached an 11-year high, with China's economy growing 5% year-on-year in Q1. UBS noted that China's power sector relies on oil and gas for only 3% of its needs, providing a buffer against oil price volatility. Morgan Stanley projected significant growth in China's AI sector, estimating it could add 3 percentage points to productivity and boost GDP by 3.5 points by 2035.

April's inflation rate has surged, with a three-month annualized rate of 7.1%, prompting calls for decisive action from new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh. The Consumer Price Index shows a year-over-year increase of 3.8%, significantly above the Fed's 2% target. Rising energy costs, driven by the Iran war, are contributing to this inflation spike. The Fed has maintained steady rates, but economists warn that inaction could lead to entrenched inflation expectations. Monetary policy rules suggest a federal funds rate target above 5%, indicating a need for rate increases to combat rising inflation effectively.

- The article discusses the urgent need for decisive action from new Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Walsh regarding inflation and interest rates, especially given the rising three-month annualized inflation rate of 7.1%.  
- It highlights growing concerns among Americans about living costs, evidenced by dissatisfaction with the current administration's handling of inflation, and notes that supply shocks, particularly from the Iran conflict, are exacerbating price increases.  
- The author argues that without a clear data-driven policy, the Fed risks further escalating inflation expectations, leading to higher borrowing costs and diminished affordability for households.

April's inflation spike leaves Warsh and the Fed zero excuses not to raise rates

Investors secured 5% yields on 30-year Treasury bonds for the first time since 2007, amid rising energy prices and inflation. A $25B auction awarded bonds at 5.046%, slightly above pre-auction levels, indicating middling demand. The increase in yields reflects bidders' need for higher fixed rates due to inflation risks, exacerbated by the Middle East conflict. The last 30-year bond with a 5% rate was sold in 2007, and since then, rates have not exceeded 4.75%. Recent sales of shorter-term Treasuries also showed weaker demand.

Feds Collins indicated that the Federal Reserve may need to raise interest rates to combat persistent inflation pressures, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a restrictive policy for an extended period. She expressed concerns about inflation not cooling until 2027 and highlighted the risks posed by a prolonged Middle East conflict. While she hopes for potential rate cuts later this year, her overall stance remains hawkish, focusing on the need to anchor inflation expectations amid ongoing economic challenges.

Feds Collins:It’s possible the Fed will need to hike rates to cool inflation pressures

Susan M. Collins, President of the Boston Fed, has expressed her concerns regarding the current inflation outlook. According to Jin10, Collins emphasized the importance of monitoring inflation trends closely to ensure economic stability. Her remarks highlight the ongoing challenges faced by policymakers in managing inflationary pressures.

Fed's Collins Expresses Concern Over Inflation Outlook

Kevin Warsh is set to lead the Federal Reserve with a reform agenda focused on gradual changes to its balance sheet and inflation analysis. His approach may involve a shift back to a more opaque communication style, moving away from the transparency established post-2007-2009 financial crisis. Warsh faces challenges balancing President Trump's rate-cut demands with current economic data, as inflation remains above the Fed's target. Initial steps may include internal reviews and potential changes to bank reserve rules and communication tools, but significant reforms are expected to take time.

Yesterday's closing price for IMAGI INT'L was HKD 3.19, with a trading volume of approximately HKD 49.55 million. For small-cap targets in investment banking and brokerage, this level of trading volume indicates significant capital movement. The MACD daily line formed a golden cross signal above the zero axis, with short-term bullish momentum shifting from accumulation to release, initially confirming upward momentum in this phase. From the perspective of volume-price coordination, the recent increase in trading volume accompanying the rise in stock price indicates that proactive buying is on the rise. On the news front, the overall trading atmosphere in the Hong Kong stock market has warmed up. The Hong Kong Stock Exchange's stock price stabilized above HKD 425 yesterday, with a trading volume exceeding HKD 1.67 billion, indicating that market expectations for improved liquidity in Hong Kong stocks are heating up. With the upcoming meeting between the Chinese and U.S. presidents, market expectations for further deepening of capital market connectivity have increased, and brokerage and investment banking targets are expected to benefit from potential cross-border business growth. In addition, several companies have recently submitted IPO applications for the Hong Kong stock market, and the recovery in primary market activity is a direct boon for investment banking business. From a technical perspective, IMAGI INT'L has gradually emerged from the bottom area, with its stock price now above the short-term moving average system. The appearance of a golden cross above the MACD zero axis indicates that the previous rise was not a single pulse but has formed a trend-driven momentum. The trading volume has significantly increased from previous sluggish levels, with healthy volume coordination. However, it is important to note that as a small-cap target, its liquidity is relatively limited, and intraday price fluctuations may be quite volatile
