Wall Street Analysis
Citi strategist Ebrahim Rahbari believes that the rebound in U.S. stocks following the release of pressure and the recent broad correction in the dollar will continue into this week as the market believes that the Fed’s hawkish rate hike has peaked in the short term and market positions are relatively defensive.
Analysts at Wells Fargo Bank have judged that lower raw material futures prices in recent months and easing of supply chain bottlenecks indicate that inflation will cool down in the next few months, but the growth rate of labor costs is still strong, indicating that inflation will continue to fall back to the Fed. Meeting the target level is not easy.
