[Solemnly look at stocks: U.S. stocks recorded four consecutive yangs on Wednesday, and the Fed's interest rate hike expectations have changed? 】

On the third day of the Chinese New Year, I slept until I was full, and when I woke up, I saw that the U.S. stock market closed on Wednesday and was red again, recording four consecutive yangs.

U.S. stocks rose a lot on Wednesday.

As of the close, the Dow was up 224.09 points, or 0.63 percent, at 35,629.33 points; the Nasdaq was up 71.54 points, or 0.50 percent, at 14,417.55; and the S&P 500 was up 42.84 points, or 0.94 percent, at 4,589.38 points.

This is obviously punching the face of those who continue to sing short US stocks.

Affected by the Opmi kerong epidemic, especially the Aomi kerong variant strain, the current employment situation in the United States is not optimistic. According to data released by the ADP Research Institute on Wednesday, business employment fell by 301,000 in January, and employment in various industries generally fell. The economists surveyed predicted a median increase of 180,000.

However, the biggest impact on the trend of US stocks is the Fed's interest rate hike. Affected by this, the S&P 500 index recorded its worst monthly performance since March 2020 in January.

The poor performance of the US stock market in January also affected the global stock market, almost a cry.

The U.S. stock market recorded four consecutive positives, which seems to be related to the remarks made by some Fed members to appease the market. Their intention is clear: they don't want the upcoming rate hikes to disrupt financial markets.

None of the six Fed officials who have spoken this week supported the idea of a 50 basis point rate hike in March, with st. Louis Fed President Bullard, the most aggressive, saying five rate hikes were a good bet. Another hawk, Kansas City Fed President George, said the Fed would ideally prefer to take it step by step.

Fed officials sent a message to investors who raised their 2022 interest rate forecasts: Don't be so fast.

Notably, this week, the Fed Board of Governors in Washington did not make any public comment, powell is waiting for the US Senate to approve his re-election, along with Brainard, who has been nominated as vice chairman. The official who spoke was the regional Fed chairman, which included three officials with voting power.

Anita Markowska, chief U.S. financial analyst at Jefferies, said, "They put the brakes a little bit on them and suggested that interest rates are expected to stabilize near the current implied rates." ”

Economists Tom Orlik and Anna Wong said: "The market seems to have interpreted Fed Chairman Powell's tough remarks at the post-FOMC press conference as the Fed admitting it is lagging behind the situation and will have to raise rates sharply this year. This could be wrong and the result Powell wanted. ”

This may be the reason why the US stock market is upward.
