The US GDP report showed that the economic growth slowed down more than expected in the first quarter. A day later, the strong personal consumption data PCE seemed to be cheered by economic bulls, but also attracted the attention of inflation hawks. The probability of the Fed not cutting interest rates this year began to rise. The strengthening of the US dollar and the unexpected rebound in US inflation data have continuously postponed the expectation that the Fed will cut interest rates soon. There are also many macroeconomic events involved this week, including the small non-farm LDP employment data on Wednesday, the Fed's interest rate meeting in the early hours of Thursday in mainland China, and after the FOMC meeting, Mr. Bao of the Federal Reserve will also hold a press conference. As for whether he is more dovish or hawkish this time, it is also a focus of market attention. We will also see non-farm employment data this Friday. I think these three are all worth paying special attention to this week. Three consecutive months of above-expectation inflation data indicate that the Fed’s pace towards its 2% target lacks new progress, and the timing of the first rate cut has been further delayed. Last Friday’s PCE data also showed the strong momentum of the U.S. economy. Now some people believe that the Fed will cut interest rates one or two times this year, and the first rate cut may start in September or November, but more and more people are beginning to worry that the Fed may not cut interest rates at all in 2024. Powell also said last week that if price pressures persist, the Fed is ready to maintain restrictive policies if necessary, and pay attention to the latest remarks of Fed officials, who have been outspoken about extending the current restrictive stance. These views are consistent with Powell’s recent remarks. Basically, they show that they are not in a hurry to cut interest rates. The market expectation before this week’s FOMC meeting is that the Fed may be more hawkish than in March. Powell may reiterate his remarks. If he continues to lean toward hawks, this will help revive demand for the dollar, which may have some negative effects on Bitcoin in the short term.
