Dalio: Rate Cuts by Incoming Fed Chair Kevin Walsh Would Be a Policy Mistake

Dalio remarked on Monday, "We are undoubtedly in a stagflation period," warning that the U.S. economy has fallen into a stagflation environment. He pointed out that if Kevin Walsh, who is set to take over as Fed Chair, chooses to cut interest rates, it would be a policy mistake.

  • Graphics Card Prices Skyrocket 1,000 Yuan in a Day

    July 30, according to CCTV Finance, with the surge in AI computing power demand, the global storage chip market is experiencing severe supply shortages. In Shenzhen's Huaqiangbei area, the price transmission effect is clearly visible. Multiple merchants in Huaqiangbei reported that following Nvidia's latest round of price hike notices to authorized graphics card manufacturers, all major graphics card brands have fully implemented warehouse closure policies, temporarily halting bulk shipments, leading to a rapid tightening of spot supply across the entire circulation chain. Visiting several computer assembly shops in Huaqiangbei, it was learned that due to the unavailability of new stock, existing inventory has become a 'scarce resource,' with channel distributors generally reluctant to sell, driving up the prices of available inventory. Statistics show that prices of mainstream storage products and graphics cards in Huaqiangbei have been climbing continuously. For example: 1TB solid-state drives rose from 410 yuan in September last year to 950 yuan now, an increase of 132%; 16G DDR5 memory rose from 450 yuan in September last year to 1,850 yuan now, an increase of 311%; 32G DDR5 memory rose from 900 yuan in September last year to 3,800 yuan now, an increase of 322%. In terms of graphics cards, the RTX 5060 rose from 2,300 yuan on July 22 to around 3,000 yuan, an increase of about 30%; the RTX 5080 rose from 8,000 yuan on July 22 to around 12,000 yuan, an increase of about 50%.

  • Deutsche Bank: Nasdaq Enters Correction Zone, Fed's Vague Signals Trigger Sell-off

    On July 30, Deutsche Bank pointed out that the Federal Reserve's decision to keep interest rates unchanged and the limited details provided by Chairman Walsh triggered a sharp steepening of the U.S. Treasury yield curve, pushing the 30-year yield to 5.20% and putting pressure on the stock market. The S&P 500 recorded its worst single-day performance in seven weeks, while weakness in tech stocks dragged the Nasdaq 100 into correction territory. Asian and European markets showed mixed performance. The rise in U.S. Treasury yields eventually weighed on stocks after significant intraday volatility. The S&P 500 fell more than 0.5% before the FOMC meeting, turned positive during Walsh's press conference, but plummeted in the final trading hour, ultimately closing down 1.52%. A renewed slump in chip stocks also dragged the market, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index plunging 5.33%. The decline in tech stocks also pushed the Nasdaq 100 (-2.06%) into a technical correction zone, now down 11.3% from its early June peak.
