Will The Fed Begin The Code Reduction Soon? Hong Kong Shares Start With Losses


US Stocks 

Fundamental Analysis: 

If the economy continues to show progress, the Fed may start to reduce quantitative easing (QE) soon. The gradual reduction of QE will complete around the middle of 2022. The code reduction QE does not directly signal an interest rate hike. The members of the US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) have extensive support for the timing and speed of the code reduction QE.

The Fed will still implement asset purchases, but it is time to reduce QE. Substantial progress has been made in inflation. Inflation expectations reflect that the degree of inflation overshoot (rising above the target) is “very moderate”. 

A large number of FOMC members said that the job market is trying to make substantial progress. By the next FOMC monetary policy meeting, the employment and price tests may be met. Therefore, once QE is reduced, it will lead to tighter liquidity in the stock market, which will cause severe fluctuations in stock market volatility.

Last week, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) issued a notice on regulating virtual currency “mining” activities, and the People’s Bank of China issued a notice to further prevent and deal with the risks of speculation in virtual currency transactions.
