Judgment of the market based on data such as 1.3 CPI and market reaction

There are two macroeconomic data that are relatively Favourable Information:

  1. Macro: The macro data feedback is relatively good, since late September, the three major U.S. stock indexes have collectively opened higher many times, among which the Dow Jones index has continued to rise after falling below 40,000 points on September 11, rising from 41,153 points to 42,261 points.

As of September 28, the number of initial jobless claims in the United States was 225,000, with an expected 220,000 and a revised previous value of 219,000.

According to the actual release of the seasonally adjusted CPI index in the United States at the end of September, it was 260.28, with an expected value of 260.33 and a previous value of 259.92.

Analysts at Shengbao Bank said that if Democratic candidate Biden wins, inflation will be pushed up. The next focus should be on the new round of CPI index in mid-October. The US non-farm employment data significantly exceeded expectations, with an increase of 254,000 in employment (expected 150,000), the unemployment rate fell to 4.05%, and average hourly wages remained strong, leading to market doubts about whether the Fed’s 50 basis point rate cut last month was wise.

  1. In terms of encryption: The improvement of traditional market data reflects relatively weak in the Cryptocurrency field, which may be due to the rise of US stocks, A-shares, and the tense situation in the Middle East, causing speculative funds to leave the market. However, in the trend of US stocks, there is a phenomenon worth noting: the rise of Cryptocurrency concept stocks led to a 5.93% rise in the US stock concept zone. This reflects that the entire Cryptocurrency zone is still being favored by market maker funds for the long term. The current overall trend can be seen as a good opportunity to observe the increase the position.

  2. Zones worth investing in: Whether it’s the traditional US stock market or the Web3 zone, AI is the most powerful narrative. In addition, blue-chip Decentralized Finance based on ETH is also gradually gaining attention. In addition, DePIN zone is in line with the current Consumer logic advocated by Web3.
