1121 | Dolphin Research Focus: 🐬 Macro/Industry 1. Last night's non-farm payroll data was released, presenting a 'split' scenario. On one hand, the number of jobs grew beyond expectations, while on the other hand, the unemployment rate unexpectedly rose to a four-year high, leading to a setback in the Federal Reserve's rate cut expectations. The VIX fear index surged significantly during the day. Meanwhile, after NVIDIA's earnings report, its stock initially surged but quickly retreated, causing tech stocks to collectively decline, with Chinese concept stocks simultaneously falling. Market sentiment spread to Asia-Pacific, and today, both Hong Kong and A-share markets are under pressure...

1017｜Dolphin Research Focus: 🐬 Macro/Industry 1. Fed Beige Book Sets Tone for 'Soft Landing': The latest Fed survey shows that economic activity has been 'essentially flat' in recent weeks, with stable employment but some sectors starting to lay off workers. Tariffs have pushed up input costs while end-product price increases have been limited. Powell simultaneously hinted that 'balance sheet reduction may end in the coming months,' slightly raising expectations for easing. 2. US-China Tariffs Enter 'Talks-Negotiation' Window: US officials collectively criticized China's rare earth export controls on Wednesday but emphasized 'no intention to escalate the conflict.' The market interprets this as a possibility of reaching limited exemptions before November 1, with the VIX retreating from its high...

Poll: Fed to cut fed funds rate at least once this year, said 48 of 101 economists (71 of 103 in April poll)

Kevin Warsh has been confirmed as the new chairman of the US Federal Reserve. While he asserts commitment to the Fed's independence, concerns arise about potential government influence. Warsh has criticized the Fed's interest rate strategies, reflecting some of President Trump's views, which may impact bond investors.

Treasury yields have surged to multi-year highs, with the 30-year yield exceeding 5.1% and the 10-year at 4.6%, driven by inflation concerns. Futures markets indicate a strong likelihood of a Fed rate hike by early 2027, potentially as soon as December. These higher yields could increase mortgage and corporate borrowing costs, negatively impact stocks, and slow economic growth.

The VIX has dipped recently but remains elevated year-to-date, indicating ongoing market unease due to geopolitical and macroeconomic risks. Crude oil prices above $100 per barrel are raising inflation concerns and altering expectations for Federal Reserve rate hikes. Investors are increasingly utilizing volatility ETFs to hedge against potential market downturns and leverage uncertainty.

Markets may be underestimating the risk of a hawkish shift from a Kevin Warsh-led Federal Reserve, as noted by TS Lombard’s Dario Perkins. He highlighted that new Fed chairs often tighten policy quickly to build credibility, suggesting that Wall Street's belief in a more dovish approach may be misplaced.

Personal Summary of Recommendations:Today, the U.S. stock market showed a clear rebound in risk appetite, with all three major indices rising collectively. The Nasdaq and the S&amp;P 500 both hit record highs. This was primarily driven by easing geopolitical tensions (expectations of a U.S.-Iran peace agreement) and strong tech earnings reports.Here is a summary of U.S. stock market big data as of May 7, 2026:Index Performance &amp; Core DataNasdaq Composite Index (IXIC): Surged 2.01%, closing at 25,834.88 points.S&amp;P 500 Index (SPX): Rose 1.45%, closing at 7,364.72 points.Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI): Rose 1.22% (approximately 603 points), closing at 49,909.55 points, just a step away from the 50,000-point milestone.Fear Index (VIX): Declined as safe-haven sentiment receded.10-Year U.S. Treasury Yield: Fell to around 4.35%, easing pressure on risk assets.Sector &amp; Industry FocusSemiconductors &amp; AI:AMD's earnings report was outstanding, leading the chip stocks higher today.NVIDIA (NVDA) stock price remained stable. The market is holding its breath for the upcoming Q1 FY 2026 report on May 20th, with analysts generally expecting its revenue growth to accelerate to over 77%.Tech Heavyweights:Tesla (TSLA) performed brightly, gaining over 3.6%. A 36% surge in sales signals from the Chinese market and strong exports offset some market concerns about gross margins.Apple (AAPL) rose over 1.3%. Although the company just reached a $250 million settlement in a class-action lawsuit over the delayed Siri AI features, market expectations for the AI roadmap at next month's developer conference (WWDC) are heating up.Energy &amp; Commodities:Crude Oil Plunge: Affected by expectations of a U.S.-Iran peace agreement, Brent crude broke below the $100 mark, and WTI crude fell to around $95, with a single-day drop exceeding 7%.Cryptocurrency Market LinkageBitcoin (BTC): Remained oscillating above the $81,000 mark. Although it fell slightly by about 0.3% in 24 hours, it still showed extremely strong resilience compared to other assets.Ethereum (ETH): Performed relatively weakly, with its price hovering around $2,330, down about 1.5%. Technically, ETH is under pressure below the 200-day moving average (around $2,367), and it's crucial to watch whether it can reclaim the key resistance level of $2,370.Investment Operation Suggestions (For Reference Only)Technical Analysis Focus:MACD/RSI: Currently, the Nasdaq is at a high level, and caution is needed for a potential pullback under short-term RSI overbought signals.Options Strategy: For popular stocks like NVDA, implied volatility (IV) typically rises before earnings (before May 20th). Some investors tend to use Sell Put to collect premiums or construct Bull Put Spreads to hedge risks.Macro Risks: Global debt is approaching a historical high of $353 trillion, and while geopolitical tensions are expected to ease, they remain subject to reversals.Today's Keywords: 50K-point sprint, AI-led rally, oil price plunge, peak earnings season.
