1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided in the given content. 2. Report's Core View - The Fed kept the benchmark interest rate unchanged at 4.25%-4.50% in June, and is expected to cut interest rates twice by a total of 50 basis points in 2025. The U.S. economy may face a "stagflation-like" environment with lower growth but resilience and rising inflation. The Fed will likely remain on hold until the economic fundamentals are clear, but the possibility of a rate cut increases if the labor market cools further [3][4][19]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 6 - Month Fed Meeting Main Highlights - The Fed kept the benchmark interest rate unchanged at 4.25%-4.50%, the fourth consecutive hold, in line with market expectations. It raised inflation expectations and lowered GDP growth expectations for 2025 - 2027. The 2025, 2026, 2027 year - end core PCE inflation expectations were raised to 3.1%, 2.4%, 2.1% respectively, and GDP growth expectations were lowered to 1.4%, 1.6%, 1.8% respectively [3]. - The Fed's dot - plot shows 2025 is expected to have two rate cuts of 50 basis points, consistent with March expectations, but 2026 is expected to have only a 25 - basis - point cut. Among 19 officials, 7 think there will be no cut in 2025, 2 expect one cut, 8 expect two cuts, and 2 expect three cuts [4]. - Fed Chair Powell said the U.S. economy is stable, but trade and fiscal policy adjustments are uncertain. Tariffs may push up prices and cause inflation pressure, and the labor market does not call for a rate cut. Due to tariff uncertainties, the Fed is on the sidelines [8]. 3.2 Price Trends of Major Asset Classes - After the Fed's decision, major asset prices fluctuated little. U.S. stocks had mixed performance: the S&P 500 fell 0.03%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.10%, the Nasdaq rose 0.13%, the Nasdaq 100 was flat, and the Russell 2000 rose 0.52%. The VIX fell 6.71% [10]. - In the bond market, the 10 - year U.S. Treasury yield was flat, and the two - year yield fell 1.04 basis points. The U.S. dollar index had a U - shaped reversal and rose slightly over 0.1%. The yen fell 0.1%, and the Australian dollar rose over 0.5%. The offshore RMB against the U.S. dollar fell 29 points [10][11]. - Crude oil prices were affected by geopolitical risks. WTI July crude futures closed at $75.14/barrel, and Brent August crude futures closed at $76.70/barrel. European natural gas prices rose for six consecutive days. Gold futures fell about 0.7%, copper futures rose about 0.9%, platinum reached an 11 - year high, and silver fell [11][12][13]. 3.3 Outlook for the U.S. Economy and Fed Monetary Policy - Overseas macro - environment remained stable despite global trade uncertainties and geopolitical risks. The U.S. May unemployment rate was 4.2%, and non - farm payrolls increased by 139,000, slightly lower than the previous value but higher than expected. Average hourly earnings rose 0.4% month - on - month and 3.9% year - on - year [14]. - U.S. May inflation was lower than expected. The unadjusted CPI rose 2.4% year - on - year, and the core CPI rose 2.8% year - on - year. Overseas macro - data stability helps ease recession concerns and repair stock market valuations [16][17]. - The U.S. economy may face a "stagflation - like" environment. The Fed will likely remain on hold, but the probability of a rate cut increases if the labor market cools. Market expectations are in line with the dot - plot, with a 66% probability of a September rate cut and a 68% chance of a 50 - basis - point or more cut by December [19]. 3.4 Views on Subsequent Asset Trends - U.S. stocks have recovered most of the losses since "Liberation Day" but may face resistance to further upside due to tariff uncertainties [21]. - U.S. Treasury yields remain around 4.4%. Although the Fed may cut rates, long - term inflation recovery may limit the decline of long - end yields [21]. - For precious metals, the "de - globalization" and "de - dollarization" trends enhance their value. Gold has upward potential, and silver may have more room for growth given the high gold - silver ratio [21]. - For commodities, Fed rate cuts and lower recession risks are positive, but they are mainly determined by geopolitical risks and China's supply - demand contradictions. Global - priced commodities are expected to outperform domestic - priced ones [21]. - The U.S. dollar may be in a long - term downward cycle, and the RMB may enter an appreciation channel with China's economic recovery [22]. - For A - shares, weak price indices, negative PPI, and low nominal GDP growth restrict corporate profit rebounds. The current stock index may face resistance to rising and has room to fall, waiting for macro - economic recovery [22][23].
