Odaily Odaily reported that CICC commented on the speech of Federal Reserve Chairman Powell in Jackson Hole, saying that 1. It is basically clear that the interest rate cut in September is a foregone conclusion, which is in line with expectations. CME interest rate futures include a 76% probability of a 25bp rate cut in September and a 24% probability of a 50bp rate cut. 2. The Federal Reserve has shifted its focus from prices to employment, and basically announced victory in the fight against inflation (saying that inflation expectations have been well anchored), and assessed the job market as no longer overheated, balanced, and with rising risks. 3. It did not mention how much the interest rate will be cut in the future, and it still depends on the data. A 50bp rate cut is not realistic at present, and at least it depends on next month's non-farm data. Powell also does not think that the rise in unemployment is a deterioration in the job market. He believes that it is mainly due to more people entering the labor market and a slowdown in hiring. The attitude towards the job market is: observation and vigilance. (Jinshi)
