  • Goldman Sachs: Expects Fed to Maintain Interest Rates in June Meeting, Low Likelihood of Rate Hike

    On June 16, Goldman Sachs released a research report indicating that the most significant change in economic data since the last FOMC meeting is a substantial rebound in employment growth, putting the labor market on a more stable path. This has shifted the market's focus to whether inflation has reached a level severe enough to warrant a rate hike. However, Goldman Sachs believes the likelihood of a rate increase is low. The firm points out that, on one hand, the Fed has historically not raised rates due to oil price shocks, and on the other hand, the current environment reduces the chances of a self-reinforcing high inflation triggered by oil price shocks. That said, some concerning signs have emerged; if inflation expectations or the breadth of high-inflation categories show a significant increase, the likelihood of a rate hike will rise. Goldman Sachs anticipates that during the first June meeting under the new chair, the FOMC is likely to keep the federal funds rate unchanged and remove previous forward guidance that hinted at a rate cut. The firm expects the meeting statement will only remove the phrase regarding the 'extent and timing of additional adjustments' related to the federal funds rate.

  • Hikvision Raises Hard Drive Prices Effective July 1, Sources Indicate Over 50% Cost Increase in Q3

    On June 16, it was reported that Hikvision has recently issued a price adjustment notice to its distributors, stating that the prices of its hard drive products will be increased starting July 1 of this year. Additionally, before July 1, other products under Hikvision will also undergo a price increase. This hard drive price adjustment primarily targets the distributor channel. In light of the current situation of significant supply and price fluctuations, Hikvision has advised distributors to quickly lock in orders and prices. This is not the first time Hikvision has adjusted prices, nor is it an isolated incident. According to informed sources, the main reason for this price adjustment is the sustained squeeze effect caused by the explosive growth in AI demand. The procurement costs for hard drives continue to rise, with the factory cost quotes for Q3 increasing by over 50% compared to Q2 of this year. Given the current market conditions, there is a possibility of continued price increases in the near future.
