I. Performance of Global Equity Indices(in US Dollar) Source: Bloomberg, Tiger Brokers Key Highlights ◼ Last week, the Federal Reserve delivered a widely expected 25bps rate cut. Internal divergence was limited, and the dot plot shifted lower, suggesting the possibility of 1–2 additional cuts within the year. The SEP revised up growth forecasts while lowering the medium- to long-term inflation outlook. Chair Powell emphasized this move as a “risk-management cut,” reiterating that policy remains data-dependent and future pacing may adjust with economic surprises. We believe markets may be underestimating the downside potential for interest rates, and the benchmark rate could decline to 2.5% next year. In U.S. equities, the main narrative remains intact: AI hardware and growth sectors contin

BIG THURSDAY FOR US MACRO ECONOMIC DATA Few of the main highlights: 1. Jobless claims came in at +218K vs +232K, shows labor market is still weak but not deteriorating with a number far above expectations 2. PCE prices in Q2 came in at 2.1%, down from 3.7% in Q1, showing even with tariffs...we are seeing prices come down 3. Consumer spending in Q2 came in at 2.5%, up from 0.5% in Q1, showing consumers are still continuing to spend which is similar to the retail sales data we saw last week Overall, nothing here that would necessarily move markets aggressively to the downside or upside, we still are in the red for the 3rd day in a row and it will be up to buyers to see if they want to bite at this dip or continue waiting for better deals.

Guess that happens when Forbes tests the faulty FSD system which then runs red lights, drives on the wrong side of the road and drives by a school bus without stopping even though the flashing lights were on. All in 90 minutes, 7 critical errors. But yeah, it can drive from San Diego to NY without any human intervention (since 2019). Biggest BS and all the HW3 and HW4 owners paid so much money for a non working system and will never get compensated. Hope they all join the class action suit and Tesla has to pay them back the Billions it took for their unfulfilled promises!
