Citic Securities reported that U.S. inflation in April remained high, influenced by the Middle East conflict. Rental inflation has increased core readings, impacting the purchasing power of American households, particularly low-income families. Real hourly wages have seen negative growth year-on-year for the first time in three years. While the risk of a second inflation wave is deemed minimal, high oil prices may hinder a decrease in inflation rates. A 25 basis point rate cut by the Federal Reserve is anticipated this year. U.S. Treasury bonds are favored for trading, while U.S. stocks may face short-term profit-taking risks.
