Originally, the market was continuously declining due to liquidity withdrawal caused by the U.S. government shutdown and concerns over supply chain financing surrounding OpenAI. However, now that the U.S. government has reopened and NVIDIA's strong performance has been released, the market still isn't buying it. What exactly is wrong with the U.S. stock market? With only five weeks left in 2025, has it completely turned into garbage time? Is there still hope for AI in 2026? 1. Looking towards 2026, what exactly are Trump's demands? There is one last chance for a rate cut this year—the interest rate meeting on December 10th. From a macro perspective, the current market's short-term nerves seem to be dominated by the prospect of a rate cut...

U.S. gov. shutdown to trigger a 'dollar shortage'?

The U.S. federal government has been in a shutdown since October 1st, and it has now been over a month. During this period, although there has been almost no release of federal-level macroeconomic data, the 'G2' meeting between China and the U.S. in South Korea, the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut, and the AI infrastructure investment frenzy by American tech giants during the earnings season have resonated to create a small peak in the U.S. stock market. However, the core issue the market now faces is whether the realization of these benefits means that all the good news has been priced in, and whether the remaining time in 2025 will be 'junk' time. 1. Powell's 'hawkish' rate cut...

“Elected” Trump? This wave of American citizens is the first to be sacrificed, used for federal deleveraging and industrial return. $Tesla(TSLA.US) $NASDAQ Composite Index(.IXIC.US) $iShares Semiconductor ETF(SOXX.US)Dolphin Research mentioned earlier that Trump's economic governance philosophy (see the link below).But the order of this philosophy is very important.And Trump, in practice, is clearly not about cutting taxes first and then raising tariffs. This is actually the familiar concept of &#34;breaking before establishing&#34; from the past two years domestically. In this process of &#34;breaking before establishing,&#34; the interests of ordinary citizens are the first to be sacrificed.Raising tariffs is indeed a way to protect domestic vulnerable industries, aimed at promoting industrial return. However, in reality, the cost of raising tariffs is not only borne by exporters; in the case where the U.S. cannot quickly replace domestic production capacity and user demand still exists, the end consumers need to bear part of the product premium brought by tariffs.Moreover, from the perspective of Trump's first month in office, the so-called government cost reduction and efficiency improvement, and expenditure reduction, have not been reflected in the federal deficit for February—In January, the U.S. fiscal deficit, including interest costs, was nearly $130 billion, while excluding interest payments, it still stood at a deficit of $49 billion. (PS Currently, there are only some signs of a slowdown in federal hiring in the new employment structure for February.)Additionally, as it aims to make tax cuts permanent, the places where fiscal revenue can increase are very limited, while fiscal expenditure is very necessary; thus, the U.S. debt balance can only control the slope of its increase, and the upward trend is absolutely certain. Historically, during peacetime in the U.S., there has been basically no reduction in the absolute value of fiscal expenditure.From the current results, in the detailed expenditure structure of the budget, Trump has chosen interest payments (which account for 13% of total federal expenditures) as the main operational target.The newly appointed Treasury Secretary does not agree with Yellen's approach of issuing short-term debt as a stopgap, and currently, the proportion of short-term debt in the U.S. is too high; after maturity, if it is replaced with long-term debt to extend its life, the yield on long-term debt will become very important.Raising tariffs may fuel short-term inflation, but after long-term growth becomes uncertain, the yield on long-term debt can drop, even leading to an inverted yield curve.In this process, ordinary American citizens will bear part of the cost of raising tariffs, leading to a relative decline in purchasing power, but once the yield on long-term debt decreases, the government's cost of borrowing long-term funds will also decrease.To some extent, this can be understood as a reversal of the helicopter money during the pandemic, where the government concentrated on absorbing private leverage; now it is doing the opposite: residents are starting to become the force-bearing units for government deleveraging, and what was originally absorbed must be partially expelled.Throughout the process, there is also an effort to maintain the relative bargaining power of enterprises compared to residents, or to protect the main body of employment.But the key issue here is that expectation management is a super significant behavioral economics concept; it is hard to say that once residents' expectations worsen, they will directly enter a state of precautionary savings.However, with such a significant policy shift, from the perspective of the stock market, facing this level of uncertainty in policy upheaval, the only thing funds can do is to run away first; after all, valuations were too high to begin with, and once they start running, there is no hesitation, just swift action.Therefore, this wave of decline in the U.S. stock market can initially look favorably at previously unattainable high-quality companies, but there is no need to rush to bottom-fish; it is better to first observe the changes in the rhetoric of Trump and the Treasury Secretary. <figure class="image"></figure><a href="https://longportapp.cn/zh-CN/topics/27779831">https://longportapp.cn/zh-CN/topics/27779831</a>

The Fed's &#34;hawkish&#34; rate cut drama has finally arrived.Interest rates were cut by 25 basis points, bringing the policy rate to 4.25-4.5%.But in the new economic projections, next year's economic forecast numbers were comprehensively revised upwards.The policy rate expectations were directly lowered by 50 basis points, implying only two rate cuts next year (most likely ending by Q1).Originally, the market thought that after Q1, rate cut decisions would enter a hard mode, but at least one more cut was still possible.This guidance is effectively 25 basis points less than market expectations.The stock market rally brought by Trump's election, from traditional industries to small-cap stocks, then back to the Nasdaq's catch-up rally, followed by the frenzy over newly launched large models and ASICs.After this round of catch-up, the U.S. stock market is likely to consolidate, waiting for the next quarter's earnings.

Trump is back. Let's talk about the possible impact on domestic industries and tax reduction policies.a. For current tech giants (except $Tesla(TSLA.US)), it's short-term bearish but may turn neutral in the long run. These tech giants essentially achieved their commercial imperialism under the globalist umbrella woven by the Democrats. Trump's return to American nativism isn't favorable for them. Fortunately, these tech giants' business moats allow them to grow independently without relying on their home country's protection, so the pressure isn't too severe.b. However, domestic corporate tax cuts combined with interest rate reductions are actually beneficial for tech giants' EPS.So when offsetting both directions, it feels short-term neutral-to-bearish, long-term neutral-to-bullish. $NASDAQ Composite Index(.IXIC.US) c. For traditional industries, whether it's defense (Republican defense spending is generally high) or traditional energy (reducing green energy subsidies, not prematurely accelerating green energy penetration), it's clearly bullish for Dow Jones-represented traditional sectors. $ProShares Ultra Dow30 ETF(DDM.US)

Countdown to the U.S. election, the answer will be revealed on the 6th if there are no abnormalities, while the Federal Reserve's interest rate meeting will be held on the 7th. The National People's Congress Standing Committee meeting will conclude at 8 AM Beijing time. The earnings season for U.S. stocks has just passed its peak, and this week is packed with macro events. Where exactly is the market trading now, and how should we view the future? This article aims to outline the current situation from the perspective of considering responses to different scenarios, rather than making predictions.

As the first interest rate cut by the U.S. dollar entering the post-pandemic era of rate cuts, this rate cut can be described as both &#34;big&#34; and &#34;hawkish.&#34;The &#34;big&#34; lies in the fact that the first rate cut directly slashed 50 basis points, which was indeed unexpected compared to market expectations; the &#34;hawkish&#34; aspect was conveyed during the conference call and the dot plot, indicating that this 50-basis-point cut should not be linearly extrapolated, and future decisions will still be data-driven. This 50-basis-point cut was merely to demonstrate the Federal Reserve's determination to protect the economy.An interesting point was when several reporters repeatedly asked Powell whether this was a &#34;catch-up&#34; rate cut. Powell emphasized that, given the relatively good data on inflation and consumption, the large rate cut was more focused on being a forward-looking move. However, he also admitted that if the July employment data had been known earlier, a rate cut might indeed have been implemented at the previous meeting on July 31.From Dolphin Research's perspective, this illustrates two points:a. Among the various economic data, the current unemployment rate and new employment figures are the real core data, as subsequent CPI and PPI reports did not raise any red flags for the Federal Reserve.b. The dot plot released by the Federal Reserve to some extent only reflects the Fed's wishes and guides the market to trade on these wishes, but it does not mean this path will necessarily materialize.From the revisions in this economic forecast, it can be seen that among the root variables of the economy, the most significantly revised was the unemployment rate. The 大幅下修的政策利率预期 is merely a result of this root variable.Therefore, in the coming period, a key tracking point for the expected rate cut 幅度 will be the labor market: What is the labor participation rate? How much has labor supply increased? How much has job demand decreased? How much has the unemployment rate increased, and is it within the &#34;controllable&#34; range below 4.5%?Especially given the 惯性下修 in 每次新增非农就业， it’s prudent to build in some 保险 upfront. Based on the downward adjustments over the past few months, some decline should already be factored in. At least, this is how Powell indicated the Federal Reserve would approach the data.Furthermore, Dolphin Research is not overly concerned about this hawkish rate cut path guidance. The key still lies in the employment data, particularly if the weakening is primarily due to an oversupply from increased immigrant inflows rather than a decline in corporate job demand. In that case, the economy may not be as weak as feared.
