May 18th - The sharp rise in US Treasury yields this month may have neared its peak. JPMorgan analysts stated, "We no longer believe the risks are tilted towards higher yields." They added, "The policy outcome priced into the money market is more hawkish than our baseline scenario, and valuations have already corrected." According to CME data, the market largely expects the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates unchanged, but the likelihood of a rate hike is also increasing. Long-term bonds appear undervalued. JPMorgan stated, "We believe this bearish repricing provides an opportunity to increase duration."On May 18th, the 2026 International Hydrogen Energy Development Forum was held in Hong Kong, aiming to promote global cooperation and innovation in the hydrogen energy field.

Following encouraging developments in China overnight and U.S. housing statistics that revealed a further drop in home values, the major US stock indices are anticipated to open Tuesday with mixed results.


Investors are putting their faith in China's early exit from COVID-related curbs.


Tuesday's early loss in the broad S&P 500 and NASDAQ Indexes was reversed after China reported a drop in new COVID-19 infections for the period ending November 28. According to CNBC calculations using Wind Information data, the nation reported that local illnesses, the majority of which lacked symptoms, totaled 38,421, down from a record high of 40,052 reported on Sunday.


The data showed that on November 19, the daily case count decreased from the day before.


On Monday, there was also no sign of any fresh demonstrations. Students and other groups protested the strict zero-COVID policy in China over the weekend by holding rallies in front of the public.


As a result of this announcement, markets rose overnight on expectations that China might lift its COVID restrictions sooner than expected.
