Likes ReceivedGlobal Situation on April 30th + Impact on US Stocks and Crypto Market
The market's focus today still revolves around three main themes: macro policy, geopolitical situation, and capital risk appetite.
1. Macro Level
The market continues to speculate on the Fed's policy path, with expectations for rate cuts still fluctuating. Inflation hasn't worsened further, but stickiness remains, leading to overall cautious capital.
This also results in the index level being dominated by volatility rather than trending upward.
2. Geopolitics
The Middle East situation has eased in the short term, and energy prices haven't continued to surge, which is a marginal positive for the market.
However, this positive is more about "relieving pressure" than "driving gains," with limited boost to the index.
3. U.S. Stock Market Structure
It remains a structural market:
Tech stocks support the index, but internal divergence has begun.
Once high-priced stocks fail to meet expectations, the pullback is swift.
Capital is clearly rotating from high to low.
The index appears stable, but making money is getting harder.
4. Cryptocurrency Sector
The crypto market remains highly linked to U.S. stocks, with the core focus on changes in liquidity expectations.
Short-term logic:
Delayed rate cut expectations → Crypto under pressure
Increased risk appetite → Crypto rebounds
Currently following the volatility, with no independent trend; essentially an amplified version of risk assets.
5. Today's Market Outlook and Trading Strategy
Overall assessment: Volatile and weak
