Yesterday (25 APR), the US GDP in the first quarter was significantly lower than expected, while the PCE price index rebounded sharply to 3.7%, indicating that the PCE inflation index to be announced tonight is likely to be higher than the market's previous forecast. Weak economic output and rising prices have hit risk sentiment, and the three major indexes have fallen. The two-year US Treasury yield, which is sensitive to interest rate policy, once jumped to 5.016%, and gradually fell back below 5.0% during the day. Fed's Goolsbee said that after a series of higher-than-expected inflation data, the Fed must "re-adjust" and "must wait and see."
