On May 18th, Ed Yardeni, president and chief investment strategist of Yardeni Research, stated that as investors become increasingly concerned about inflation, the Federal Reserve needs to keep pace with the bond market or risk losing control over borrowing costs. He pointed out that given the current market environment is "no longer" suitable for an accommodative stance, the Fed should remove its dovish bias at its June meeting. "If the Fed fails to remove this bias, investors will conclude that the Fed is lagging behind the inflation curve and will demand a higher inflation risk premium," Yardeni said. "We expect the Fed to keep interest rates unchanged at its June meeting and shift to a tightening policy stance." Yardeni added that the current economic context no longer provides a reason for an accommodative bias, let alone rate cuts. Instead, he believes that a more hawkish Warsh than the market expects could actually benefit Trump by helping to suppress long-term Treasury yields.According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the price of second-hand residential properties in Shenzhen rose 0.3% month-on-month in April (up 0.4% in the previous month) and fell 6.5% year-on-year (down 7.0% in the previous month).According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the price of newly built commercial residential buildings in Shenzhen rose 0.1% month-on-month in April (compared to 0.2% previously) and fell 5.3% year-on-year (compared to -5.5% previously).According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the price of second-hand residential properties in Guangzhou in April increased by 0.2% month-on-month (previous value: +0.2%) and decreased by 7.9% year-on-year (previous value: -8.1%).According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the price of newly built commercial residential buildings in Guangzhou in April increased by 0.1% month-on-month (previous value: +0.3%) and decreased by 4.4% year-on-year (previous value: -4.7%).
