Six Sense Traders start to bet big money on Fed peak at 6%.

유행에 뒤쳐질 순 없어 막차에 올라타보았다.

Bottom-line: 중국 지수가 경제 재개방 기대로 타 주가지수를 큰 폭으로 상회한 상승을 보인 뒤 숨을 고르고 있음. 이런 상승에 기여한 외국인 투자자가 최근 순매도 중이지만, 내용을 자세히 들여다보면 실망할 것은 아님. 신년 이후 단기 매매 펀드 자금은 유출 중이나 장기 투자 성격의 펀드 자금은 꾸준히 유입 중이기 때문임. 대다수 중국 투자자들은 제조업과 서비스업 지표 개선과 더불어 신용 활동까지 증가하며 경제를 성장시킬 것으로 보고 있기에 최근 추세가 하락으로 반전할 것으로 보진 않음. 다만, 경제 회복을 확인할 수 있는 고빈도 데이터들을 조금 더 살피길 원할 뿐임. China’s reopening rally may be losing some momentum, but some investors believe shares will continue to go up after a short-term pullback. Major equity gauges have slipped since last week after world-beating gains, but few see the market headed for a reversal. The economy’s recovery has been clear, with key indicators for both manufacturing and services jumping and credit data expected to underscore the trend. “We might be on track for longer periods of horizontal moves in between gains,” said Zhao Yuanyuan, a fund manager at Shenzhen Qianhai JianHong Times Asset Management Co. “A lot of the cheer is reflected in the price,” but drivers including the domestic economic rebound is intact, Zhao said. Foreigners have turned net sellers of Chinese stocks following a record monthly purchase in January. While some may read that as negative, a closer look by Industrial Securities Co. suggests less gloom. The data show that while short-term funds have been selling since the Lunar New Year holidays, long-term investors have been steadily boosting holdings — albeit at a slowing pace. “Though we are not worried about a change in market direction, we do want to further watch the pace of the recovery through high-frequency figures,” said Xiong Lin, research director at Shanghai Ruiyi Asset Management Co.

기술력이란 무엇인가.

Key takeaways: 먼저 시장은 초기에 파월이 상당히 온건하다 판단하며 상승했지만, 이후 지표에 따라 더 높은 정책금리가 필요할 수 있단 말에 상승폭을 모두 반납함. 그는 주택을 제외 한 핵심 서비스 물가가 잡히지 않는 것, 고용시장이 과열 상태인데 우려하면서 인플레이션 목표에 이르는 것이 참 어렵고, 내년에야 2% 목표치에 도달할 것으로 봄. 여전히 지표에 의존하는 정책 결정을 고수하면서 한 번의 지표보다는 3월 통화정책회의 전의 고용 및 물가 지표를 추가적으로 살피며 대응하겠다 함. In his first speaking engagement since last week’s FOMC meeting, which came right before a stronger-than-forecast jobs report, Powell said that if the labor market data continue to come in stronger than officials expected, and inflation climbs more, the Fed may need to raise rates to higher than previously thought. Powell repeated that he’s concerned about inflation in the core services excluding the housing sector, and that the labor market remains too tight. He says that getting inflation down will likely be a difficult process, and one that isn’t necessarily smooth. While there should be a “significant” decline in inflation this year, it’ll likely go into next year to get it down to the Fed’s 2% target, he said. The interview with David Rubenstein didn’t yield much new from the Fed chair. Some had thought he might speak more aggressively about the employment report, but he seemed to stick to his talking points that the Fed will stay data-dependent. And policymakers will have another month of jobs data, as well as inflation readings, when they next meet in March. US stocks hit session highs during the interview, reacting to a what was then perceived as a dovish Fed Chair. Equities then erased their gains as soon as the event ended, after Powell said that if strong labor data persists, the peak rate in the current tightening cycle may be higher.

Look at the Nasdaq fall.

S&P 500 turns negative. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Market Reaction: Stocks are retreating.

Bottom-line: 물가가 다시 상승하고, 고용 지표가 여전히 강하다면, 중앙은행은 더 높은 정책금리 수준에 도달하길 원할 것임. If inflation starts rising again, and if the job data keep coming in hot, then the Fed may need to do more than is currently expected.

Powell: Getting inflation back to 2% is the Fed’s big challenge.

Powell: Reduced immigration was a factor leading to worker shortages during the pandemic. But immigration is now on the rise again, potentially helping with labor market tightness.

Powell: if Strong Labor Data Persists, Peak Rate May Be Higher.

Powell: We are not trying to hide out decisions from the public. We want to be transparent. We are not looking to surprise markets.

Powell: asked about his biggest worry about inflation, says that we’re just at the start of the process of disinflation. Supply chains are improving. Disinflation is expected in housing — in the second half of 2023. The biggest concern is when will disinflation come in core services prices, excluding housing.

02:00, soon. 🙋🏻‍♂️

차트는 지수를 구성하는 주식 간의 상관관계를 나타내며, 1에 가까울수록 상관관계가 높고, 0에 가까울수록 무관함을 나타낸다.

영위하는 사업도 다르고, 업종도 다르고, 장부가치나 주가수익비율 등의 가치평가도 모두 다름에도 불구하고, 해당 주식들의 움직임이 거의 완전히 동일해질 때를 패닉이라 할 수 있다.
