In global stock markets, cautious trading is observed ahead of the release of U.S. consumer price data later in the day, which could further diminish the likelihood of a rate cut. Investors are also closely monitoring whether corporate earnings reports from banks will meet high expectations. The U.S. consumer price data will be announced at 16:30 (GMT+3). Core inflation is expected to rise by 0.2% in December, but if the data shows an increase of 0.3% or more, equities and bonds may face another wave of sell-offs.
Trump Trade Could Turn into a Trap
The combination of tariffs, tax cuts, and immigration restrictions proposed by Trump has raised consumer inflation expectations. This situation has led bond investors to believe that the Federal Reserve may have already completed its rate-cutting cycle. Persistently high inflation data, rising energy prices, and a strong labor market have also played a role, but Trump’s policies remain a primary factor behind these movements. If Trump fully delivers on his tax cut promises, the resulting increase in Treasury bond supply could deepen uncertainty even further.
