๐ Weekly Market Recap: Interest Rates Repriced, AI Enters the "Show Me" Phase
The core logic of the market this week continues to revolve around the Fed, the yield curve on US Treasuries, gold, crypto assets, and AI infrastructure. 1. The Fed: The focus isn't hawkish vs. dovish, but expectation management. I believe this speech is more about resetting market expectations. Short-end rates reflect future policy expectations, while 10-, 20-, and 30-year Treasury yields better capture the market's view on long-term inflation, fiscal health, and confidence in USD assets. Therefore, a rise in short-end rates doesn't necessarily signal a loss of control; what truly matters is whether the long end can hold steady. If it's just a short-end adjustment...
