Institutional Perspectives:

Analyst IRA JERSEY: The first reaction is that the market is pricing in no more than a 50% chance of a rate cut in May, as both headline and core CPI have exceeded expectations. The flattening of the bear market is not surprising, and we still believe that the 2-year 10-year Treasury yield curve is likely to remain inverted until the Fed actually starts cutting rates.

Analyst Cameron Crise said that the March rate cut could be more firmly excluded from the negotiations, and since you did, maybe May could be removed as well. January's U.S. CPI data exceeded expectations on both an overall and core basis. To add insult to injury, the overall figure is not even lower than 3% year-on-year, but 31%。Obviously,This is to make the Fed hawks spread their wings againAnd ** may return to the nest, at least in the short term. No single data can be decisive, but after the Fed's recent communications and strong employment data, it's clear that there is no urgent need to cut rates sooner rather than later, and if anything, the focus on persistent inflation risks remains paramount.

Analyst Katia Dmitrieva: Inflation seems to be stronger considering the super-core**. This is the category that the Fed is closely watching and stands for core services**minus housing**, on top of which CPI accelerated again to 43%, the fastest growth rate since May last year. The monthly growth rate has also increased, **085%, which is the hottest since April 2022.
