Inflationary pressures have eased. The sword hanging over the market has finally fallen. The US core CPI significantly fell below expectations, directly changing the Federal Reserve's policy outlook. The more than one-year-long rate hike cycle has reached a turning point.



The reason for rate hikes no longer exists. The only question now is—when will the Fed cut rates? Powell's attitude isn't actually that important; the market's own logic and data trends will decide for him.

What does this mean for risk assets? The attractiveness of bank deposit yields has greatly diminished. Idle funds are starting to look for new destinations. From bonds to stocks, from stocks to cryptocurrencies, the risk premiums at every level of assets are being re-priced. Especially those suppressed high-risk sectors will become targets for institutions and large investors to reallocate.

The real change has already begun. The moment CPI data was released, professional institutions were already adjusting their positions. Every subsequent market correction is an opportunity to re-enter. The cycle of liquidity release usually takes longer than the market's reaction time. This is what truly needs attention.

Damn, bank interest rates have plummeted, and funds have to find a place to go. This wave of crypto really took off.

Are you trying to fool us into buying the dip again? Is this really different this time?

Once the expectation of interest rate cuts emerges, capital naturally flows towards higher risk assets. However, no one can say for sure how long this wave will last... Institutions have already started bottom fishing, so what are we retail investors supposed to buy at the bottom? That's hilarious.

Once the expectation of interest rate cuts emerges, funds start looking for an exit. No one really cares about the small interest from banks anymore. Now it's just waiting to see how institutions will re-enter the market.

Once the expectation of interest rate cuts emerges, funds start to move actively. Bank interest earnings are really not that meaningful.

As soon as the rate cut expectation emerged, funds started flowing into high-risk sectors. This time, it's really time to get on board. When the CPI data was released, I knew right away that it would be a race to see who could move faster. Bank deposit interest rates are no longer attractive; not entering the market now would be a waste. Market pullbacks are the best opportunities to scoop up bargains. Professional institutions have already started moving. Liquidity release always reacts faster than the market, and this is where the opportunity lies. It's about time high-risk sectors take the spotlight, they've been suppressed for so long. The turning point has already appeared. Next, we just wait for the rate cut to be implemented, and funds will definitely flow here. How Powell thinks doesn't matter; data speaks for itself, and that's enough. The rate hike cycle is over; it's our turn now. From bonds to crypto, every layer is being re-priced. Timing is the key to grasp.
