The US stock market closed higher, with the S&P index hitting a new high, thanks to the slowdown in CPI and PPI data. According to CME, the probability of a rate hike in September has dropped to around 32%. Yesterday, SPCX hit 143 before I sold it. Although it closed above 140 and might still have room to rise, with the 8/20 unlocking wave approaching, risk-averse sentiment might spread again. But if there's a pullback, I'll consider going long. SK Hynix has been performing strongly too. Unfortunately, I sold too early. I'll wait for a pullback to re-enter. Like I mentioned before, US stock contracts, especially core heavyweights, are better suited for going long at low levels—try to avoid shorting too much. Of course, we also need to keep an eye on macro factors, like geopolitics and oil prices in August. If these push rate hike expectations higher again, the liquidity pressure on US stocks will remain significant. The good news is that the likelihood of escalation seems low, and the midterm elections are not far off. Analysis is for trading purposes. @MSX_CN is continuing its campaign in August—invite friends to share 10,000 USDT and enter a draw for SPCX.M and exclusive merch.
