On October 20th, VITAL NEW MATERIAL stated during an institutional research that the current macro environment is mixed with bullish and bearish factors. Expectations for interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve are rising, but the U.S.-China tariff game is fluctuating, leading to cautious market sentiment.
