Now the market has adjusted, many people may still think it was brought down by SpaceX, but actually it's not. The real reason is still because the market is betting on interest rate hikes this year, and not just once.
The first step after Walsh's appointment, as it now appears, is to rebuild the credibility of the US dollar system. So, they need to shrink the balance sheet first before discussing interest rate cuts. Logically, with the strait opening up, the US dollar index should weaken further, but the timing just happened to coincide with his first speech, so the US dollar index strengthened further.
At the same time, the US is also suppressing the gold rally. The trader for the past few months should have been personally deployed by Besant. They must make capital flow back to the US dollar to ensure its hegemony.
So, this year, Trump is frantically drawing k-lines to create volatility in the stock market, hoping that the first choice for subsequent capital seeking refuge will still be the US dollar.
The Federal Reserve will likely find it difficult to cut rates this year, but the task for Walsh after taking office is that Trump wants him to cut rates. So, what he should do is first strengthen US dollar credibility (balance sheet reduction), and the second step must be to follow with rate cuts. It now looks like that will be next year.
But people aren't afraid. He still reiterated the theory of AI prosperity in the market, which is not contradictory to what he is doing now.
Micron's earnings report is approaching, coinciding with a critical moment of market reversal. Bet less, watch more. The market's demand for Micron is no longer just a single earnings report, but future long-term high-price contract orders.
