Macro:
It is reported that figures released by the US Department of Commerce on Tuesday showed that retail sales in the United States, known as "terrorist data," were 0.4 percent in June, 0.1 percent expected, and 0.5 percent revised to 0.4 percent. In addition, core retail sales in the United States in June were 0.4 percent month-on-month, expected 0.1 percent, and the previous value was 0.5 percent. Excluding natural gas and automobile retail sales in May, the United States expected 0.3%, and the previous value of 0.5% was revised to 0.4%. Retail sales in June were all better than expected, and the US index continued to strengthen. Although the mixed US economic data did not affect the market's expectations of the Fed's interest rate cut this month, but the expectations of the intensity of the rate cut after that have declined.
Powell, chairman of the Federal Reserve, said the Fed was "closely monitoring" the downward risks of US economic growth and "will take appropriate action to maintain expansion". Uncertainty about the outlook has increased, especially in terms of trade development and global economic growth.
Li Keqiang, China's premier, said that while some indicators were better than expected in the first half of the year, downward pressure on the economy had increased and the government would fine-tune its policies in due course.
