The Japanese and Korean stock markets followed the sharp drop this morning, and the Hong Kong stock market relayed at midday in the afternoon, and thenIn the afternoon, European stock markets also suffered, and almost no one in the entire financial market was spared.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d7c5fddb05c7caa94a3b1f6ec9c93df7\" tg-width=\"554\" tg-height=\"204\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">In the published minutes of the Federal Reserve meeting, the Federal Reserve explicitly discussed Taper (tapering bond purchases) for the first time, and also set up a special chapter on \"Discussing Asset Purchases\".From civil discussion to official clarification for the first time and giving a more specific time, this signal has almost become the source of all panic.It seems that it is a consensus conclusion that the water collection time is advanced, but the question is, the Federal Reserve has been erratic on this issue many times. This time, can it really press this \"nuclear button\" that may have been changed long ago?01High-fever inflationThe minutes of the Federal Reserve did not make any detailed decisions, but only said that the price stability target and employment target were close to satisfactory levels. But as always, among members \"Differences that remain\"The main problem is that many people still think that\"The rise in inflation is temporary”。To be honest, the Federal Reserve has been sticking to Keynesianism recently, and will \"Full employment\"At the top of the list, inflation data now seems to be a vassal.The loose monetary policy, huge fiscal subsidies, and recovering economy in the United States have continuously stimulated the growth of CPI. This indicator has exceeded the 2% threshold since March this year, and the year-on-year growth rate in June and July reached a historical high of 5.4%, showing signs of overheating economic recovery.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fed5b554b6bc3ec62446ff022141ee8c\" tg-width=\"444\" tg-height=\"217\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">The American people have long been miserable in the face of rising prices. Although there are still many residents who can receive generous unemployment benefits, the prices of consumer goods such as meat, fruits and vegetables have soared wildly, which makes the purchasing power of the benefits continue to decline.Now the 1.2 trillion infrastructure and 3.5 trillion US dollars budget spending plans passed by the Senate will continue to stimulate the growth of raw material prices related to infrastructure in the United States and even around the world, which has laid the possibility of further increases in inflation in the future.In fact, the supply shortage is also reflected in PPI. In July, PPI rose by 7.8% year-on-year. The gap between PPI and CPI continues to widen, and corporate profits are compressed, which may be transmitted to consumer prices in the later period.From this view, the pressure of inflation is still very great, and it may not be able to fall back to normal levels as smoothly as expected. Judging from this aspect, the instability of CPI growth will not be good news for the economy and the stock market.It stands to reason that if the inflation data is too high, the Fed should adopt tightening measures to control it, but the Fed has not given clear instructions. Instead, he constantly reassured the market that \"it is still far away from rate hike\".Behind this, in addition to the impact of the re-outbreak of the Delta epidemic, it is also related to the fact that the current rise and fall of employment data has not yet been reassuring.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9e46fbe9106463d3d09556d36fbc3cd2\" tg-width=\"554\" tg-height=\"308\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">But more importantly,Taking strong medicine for serious illness is actually a high-risk treatment as a last resort, and it is not worry-free as soon as you win. Now, the United States has \"taken strong medicine\" to support the rising economic recovery through super-large-scale water release. Although it has achieved great results, the sequelae are enormous. One is extremely dependent, and the other is high inflation and fever.It is precisely for this reason that the Federal Reserve has been erratic and hesitant in its consideration of collecting water. Because it knows that once the drug is stopped, the cost may be very high.02Is the economy really overheating?In fact, the strength of the U.S. economy is not strong enough to exceed the Fed's expectations in some performances, and there are contradictions between different data.The first is the steady recovery of the U.S. manufacturing industry. The manufacturing PMI recorded a new high of 63.40 in July, exceeding expectations.But the employment situation, which the Fed is most concerned about, seems to have not touched its threshold.Although the unemployment rate has dropped significantly since the beginning of the year and has now fallen back to 5.4%, which is better than the expected 5.7%, there is still a certain distance from the 3-4% before the epidemic. In addition, in the week of August 12, the number of people applying for unemployment benefits for the first time was 375,000, which is still far from the pre-epidemic average of 200,000.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/93e549a63987d92ac38cbcdadb19aa84\" tg-width=\"340\" tg-height=\"224\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">At the same time, the number of job vacancies is increasing, which shows that the increase in employment is not enough to make up for the demand for jobs, and the imbalance between supply and demand in the labor market is becoming increasingly serious.The $1.9 trillion relief bill promoted by Biden in March did not stop until September, and eligible residents can receive high relief payments. Some residents want to earn money while lying down, but of course they have no idea about finding a job. This has inhibited the recovery of the local job market to some extent, making the supply of corporate products unable to increase, and the market supply and demand are still tight.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1df72758e634507d170c77cc7b60ecd1\" tg-width=\"406\" tg-height=\"267\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">In addition, consumption data has not yet met expectations. The U.S. Department of Commerce recently announced retail sales data for July, which fell by 1.1% month-on-month, compared with an increase of 0.6% in the previous value.With personal consumption expenditures accounting for about 70% of the U.S. economy, the data is closely watched by the market as a gauge of the overall economic health. The weak growth of the data shows that U.S. consumption has not yet recovered its original and expected growth. If subsidies are stopped in the later period, consumption may lose its growth momentum.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/81c32bcf506c08d16090a67fb55ac030\" tg-width=\"473\" tg-height=\"272\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Since the epidemic, the scale of U.S. fiscal expenditures has continued to increase. In fiscal year 2021, U.S. fiscal expenditures will reach 7.7 trillion U.S. dollars. The expenditures are mainly used for unemployment benefits, nutrition assistance, and COVID-19 relief projects.The Senate also recently passed Biden's $1.2 trillion infrastructure package and a $3.5 trillion budget plan mainly focused on fighting poverty and improving the climate environment. If it successfully passes the review of the House of Representatives in the later period, the high fiscal expenditure will be increased again.In fact, Biden's overall policy has not exceeded the consistent philosophy of the Democratic Party. It is still to stimulate the economy through high fiscal expenditures, and the sources of funds he relies on are through bond issuance and tax increases. If the tax increase can't make up for the above expenditure amount, it can only rely on issuing bonds.If the Federal Reserve keeps interest rates low, it will be more conducive to the implementation of proactive fiscal policy.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6daf4374f269e5ac0784aed8157abc09\" tg-width=\"395\" tg-height=\"253\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">According to research by West China Securities, the United States experienced four interest rate cut cycles from 1984 to 2015. During these four periods, when the Federal Reserve began to cut interest rates, it faced a major economic downturn. Except for the period from 1984 to 1986, the latter three periods experienced economic recession shortly after the interest rate cut. In the middle and late stages of the interest rate cut, the economy gradually recovered and regained its growth momentum.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/879dbfed5c68d676a0a4d688b52dd2a9\" tg-width=\"429\" tg-height=\"158\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Using the historical trajectory to this day, the rate hike of the United States should only come when the economy itself returns to a stable and normal growth rate before rate hike's pace comes, but from the current performance (such as consumption and employment indicators) may not have reached the time to consider rate hike.However, in the face of high inflation rates, it may be inevitable for the Fed to shift to an anti-inflation model. The next employment data will be the key. If the unemployment rate falls back to around 5%, taper will come quickly.03Will U.S. stocks plummet this time?Regarding the topic of whether U.S. stocks will jump, everyone has been discussed countless times and slapped in the face countless times.So far, except for the sudden impact of the epidemic last year, the U.S. stock market has been in a bull market for 12 years. Even against the background of increasing calls for water withdrawal and obvious volatility in overseas markets, the three major indexes continue to hit new highs.But this time compared with the past,It is a more complex macro environment, higher inflation problems, and a larger debt scale. If it is really the beginning of a water collection cycle, can U.S. stocks still withstand it as always?The lowest influencing factors of financial market fluctuations are economic and liquidity levels.On the economic front, although there are many side effects and big problems, on the whole, the strong economic recovery of the United States is a deterministic direction, and the continuous economic recovery will definitely gradually reflect in the performance growth at the enterprise level, which is also the force supporting the stock price of enterprises.The overall performance of U.S. stocks in the first quarter began to exceed expectations. The year-on-year growth rate of EPS in major industries such as automobiles, durable goods, retail, media, finance, healthcare, information technology, and raw materials was very high. In addition to the low base caused by the impact of the epidemic last year, the rapid economic recovery also played a big role.In the second quarter, the performance growth shown by companies in many industries also continued to be stronger than expected.Now institutions expect the growth rate of U.S. stocks' earnings consistency in 2021 to be as high as 38% (50% + in the first half of the year), and it is expected to return to pre-epidemic levels in 2022. Although the high growth rate brought about by last year's low base will decline month by month in the second half of the year, the market expects that the profit growth rate in the third quarter will still be 24%, which is still considerable overall.Correspondingly, the current valuation of U.S. stocks does not seem too expensive.As of now, the P/E of the Dow is 26.4 times, the Nasdaq is 40.3 times, and the S&P 500 is 27.2 times. Except for the Nasdaq, it is generally not expensive compared to other major markets.And the current P/E of the major super giants that occupy a large weight is not high. Among the top 20 with the largest market value, except for Tesla, the valuations of the rest are really low, exceeding many people's expectations.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/329eb3056a9b9f6a55ff253a1f0bf801\" tg-width=\"554\" tg-height=\"458\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">In terms of liquidity, in fact, the U.S. dollar serves as a global currency anchor. Even if liquidity is tightened slightly, it has never been a big problem for U.S. stocks, because global funds will be replenished. This has happened countless times in the past. Unless the Federal Reserve wants to close water super sharply, the possibility of a sharp decline in U.S. stocks will be very small.In the past year, there have been many macro risk events, and the market has also experienced substantial corrections. However, global funds still prefer larger stock markets, especially the US stock market, which has always been the top priority. Under such circumstances, even if there is a bubble in the U.S. stock market, it is difficult to lose financial support, not to mention that the economic fundamentals are not bad.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8a966f1e4c95f2e2355d57a28159ecb3\" tg-width=\"431\" tg-height=\"361\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">(Differentiation of capital, stock and bond flows in the global market in 2021. Source: Kaiyuan Securities)Overall, the improving fundamentals, the still loose monetary environment, the passable valuation, and the preference of global funds are the underlying logic that U.S. stocks have always been easy to rise but difficult to fall.Under the current trend, these underlying factors have not changed, so U.S. stocks may fall in the short term due to market sentiment, but if they want to fall sharply, it may not be big.","source":"gelonghui_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>If the Federal Reserve wants to \"close water\", will U.S. stocks really fall?

In addition to the low base caused by the impact of the epidemic last year, the rapid economic recovery also played a big role.In the second quarter, the performance growth shown by companies in many industries also continued to be stronger than expected.Now institutions expect the growth rate of U.S. stocks' earnings consistency in 2021 to be as high as 38% (50% + in the first half of the year), and it is expected to return to pre-epidemic levels in 2022. Although the high growth rate brought about by last year's low base will decline month by month in the second half of the year, the market expects that the profit growth rate in the third quarter will still be 24%, which is still considerable overall.Correspondingly, the current valuation of U.S. stocks does not seem too expensive.As of now, the P/E of the Dow is 26.4 times, the Nasdaq is 40.3 times, and the S&P 500 is 27.2 times. Except for the Nasdaq, it is generally not expensive compared to other major markets.And the current P/E of the major super giants that occupy a large weight is not high. Among the top 20 with the largest market value, except for Tesla, the valuations of the rest are really low, exceeding many people's expectations.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/329eb3056a9b9f6a55ff253a1f0bf801\" tg-width=\"554\" tg-height=\"458\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">In terms of liquidity, in fact, the U.S. dollar serves as a global currency anchor. Even if liquidity is tightened slightly, it has never been a big problem for U.S. stocks, because global funds will be replenished. This has happened countless times in the past. Unless the Federal Reserve wants to close water super sharply, the possibility of a sharp decline in U.S. stocks will be very small.In the past year, there have been many macro risk events, and the market has also experienced substantial corrections. However, global funds still prefer larger stock markets, especially the US stock market, which has always been the top priority. Under such circumstances, even if there is a bubble in the U.S. stock market, it is difficult to lose financial support, not to mention that the economic fundamentals are not bad.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8a966f1e4c95f2e2355d57a28159ecb3\" tg-width=\"431\" tg-height=\"361\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">(Differentiation of capital, stock and bond flows in the global market in 2021. Source: Kaiyuan Securities)Overall, the improving fundamentals, the still loose monetary environment, the passable valuation, and the preference of global funds are the underlying logic that U.S. stocks have always been easy to rise but difficult to fall.Under the current trend, these underlying factors have not changed, so U.S. stocks may fall in the short term due to market sentiment, but if they want to fall sharply, it may not be big.\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n source：<a

  来源：开源证券）\n总体看，向好的基本面，加依然宽松的货币环境，加过得去的估值，加全球资金的偏好，这就是美股一直易涨难跌的底层逻辑。\n当前趋势下，这些底层因素还没有发生转变，所以美股可能受市场情绪影响短期下跌，但想要大跌下去的话，可能不会大。","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{".DJI":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":3297,"commentLimit":10,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"symbols":[],"verified":2,"subType":0,"readableState":1,"langContent":"EN","currentLanguage":"EN","warmUpFlag":false,"orderFlag":false,"shareable":true,"causeOfNotShareable":"","featuresForAnalytics":[],"commentAndTweetFlag":false,"andRepostAutoSelectedFlag":false,"upFlag":false,"length":4,"xxTargetLangEnum":"ORIG"},"commentList":[{"id":5582196,"commentId":"5582196","gmtCreate":1629389640668,"gmtModify":1663232625538,"authorId":3558680293731120,"author":{"id":3558680293731120,"idStr":"3558680293731120","authorId":3558680293731120,"name":"Alicia
