## Macro: Is the interest rate hike really over? Focus on this Wednesday's Fed monetary policy meeting

In the past week, economic data such as the US CPI and PPI have slowed down beyond expectations, strengthening expectations that the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike has ended. At the same time, the market is optimistic that the US economy can avoid a recession. The 10-year US Treasury yield briefly broke below 4.40%, reaching a new low since late September, and has fallen by about 21 basis points this week; The two-year US Treasury yield has dropped to its lowest point since early September, with a cumulative decline of about 17 basis points this week. US stocks have risen for three consecutive weeks, while expectations of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates next year have hit the US dollar, with the US dollar index hitting its highest weekly decline in four months (1.9%).

Crude oil rebounded significantly by more than 4% on Friday, but it still recorded four consecutive weeks of decline. The cumulative decline of US oil was 1.66%, while the decline of oil distribution was 1%. After experiencing a sharp decline, the upcoming OPEC+meeting this month has become the focus of attention for oil traders.

The expectation of the end of the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike has driven gold prices higher, with futures up 2.43%. The price of gold will be more driven and dominated by inflation expectations and the performance of the US dollar index.

In the coming week, as the Thanksgiving holiday kicks off, there will be relatively few market hotspots.

However, at 03:00 on Wednesday morning, the Federal Reserve's release of the minutes of its November monetary policy meeting is still worth paying attention to, as the minutes may reveal differences among committee members and the voting positions of some committee members in the future. Investors are currently pricing an expectation of nearly 100 basis points for the Fed's rate cut next year.

The US dollar index is currently moving towards its largest monthly decline in a year, with previously weaker than expected economic data strengthening market expectations for the end of the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike cycle and the US dollar reaching its peak. If the minutes of the Federal Reserve meeting strengthen this expectation, the US dollar index may face a greater decline.

The recent Fed spokesperson has had almost no impact on the expectations of the Fed's policy cycle, but rather the data is speaking. In the coming week, the United States will release the latest jobless claims, consumer confidence index, inflation expectations, and PMI for manufacturing and service industries.

As the tightening of interest rates in the United States ultimately affects the US economy, there have been signs of a slowdown in US data that exceeds expectations, thereby enhancing the expectation that the Federal Reserve will end interest rate hikes and initiate rate cuts. Investors can pay attention to whether the following data will continue this trend. If this is indeed the case, US bond yields will be further suppressed, the US dollar will weaken, and gold may further rise.
