Federal Reserve Financial Stability Report: Persistent inflation considered the most important financial stability risk
According to Mars Finance news, the financial stability report released by the Federal Reserve shows that continued inflation is regarded as the most important financial stability risk. In addition, 60% of respondents believe that "policy uncertainty," including escalating geopolitical tensions and the upcoming U.S. election, may pose risks to financial stability. Commercial real estate and banking stress risks were mentioned less frequently than in the fall 2023 survey. Nearly two-thirds of respondents cited policy uncertainty as a risk, significantly higher than in the October report. Cyberattacks and conflicts in the Middle East have been listed as risks, while non-bank institutions and the Russia-Ukraine conflict have disappeared from the risk list. Concerns about unprotected deposits and other factors continue to put financial pressure on some banks.

JPMorgan believes that the current rebound in U.S. Treasury bonds was triggered by the spillover of the European debt crisis and the sharp plunge in the Nasdaq, rather than an improvement in U.S. fundamentals. Despite ongoing chatter about "de-dollarization," foreign demand for long-term U.S. Treasuries has actually reached historic highs. The 10-year yield has entered the key resistance range of 4.94%-5.02%, but tech stocks have become the dominant variable influencing treasury yields. Until there are clear signs of stabilization or even bottoming in the risk asset markets, it is not recommended to go against the trend and short the current rebound.
