Report Investment Rating - No industry investment rating is provided in the report. Core Viewpoints - The significant downward revision of US non - farm payroll data and the slowdown of 2Q consumer nominal growth indicate that the restrictive policies have had obvious effects, and the Fed may have a more open attitude towards interest rate cuts. There is a possibility that the Fed will advance the interest rate cut to September, but it is still uncertain whether there will be three consecutive interest rate cuts in September, October, and December. The scenario of more than two interest rate cuts within the year requires the decline of inflation data in the next few months as support [2]. Summary by Related Content Non - farm Payroll Data - The US non - farm payroll data in July was lower than market expectations, and the data for May and June were significantly revised downward. The non - farm private enterprise average hourly wage increased by 3.91% year - on - year, the third - highest year - on - year growth rate this year. The latest changes in non - farm data are in line with the situation of cooling supply and demand in the labor market mentioned by Fed Chairman Powell [2][4]. Inflation - The increase in the US PCE price in June expanded as expected, which is in line with the assumption that tariffs affect prices. The actual year - on - year growth rate of US personal consumption in June (seasonally adjusted) decreased by about 0.1 percentage points compared with May, while the nominal growth rate (seasonally adjusted) rebounded by about 0.1 percentage points, resulting in an expansion of the year - on - year increase in PCE prices by about 0.2 percentage points. The actual growth of US consumer demand is not strong, and the nominal growth slowed down in the second quarter compared with the first quarter. The persistence of the impact of tariffs on inflation remains to be observed [2][6]. Economic Data in the Second Quarter - The restrictive policies have obvious effects. The growth rates of major domestic demand items such as personal consumption, private fixed - asset investment, and government spending have stabilized or declined. The liquidity surplus in the US economy has been significantly alleviated, and the ratios of currency in circulation to GDP and personal consumption have both returned to the 2017 level, which may also have a certain inhibitory effect on the transmission of tariffs to inflation [2][7][9].
