Shanghai Second Intermediate People's Court: Virtual currency accounts for 11% of the number of criminal cases involving financial trading platforms

Shanghai Second Intermediate People's Court has released a criminal trial white paper on "combining punishment with governance". It revealed that since 2019, more than 600 criminal cases involving illegal financial trading platforms have been tried and concluded. In terms of investment types, illegal financial trading platforms cover a wide range of investment projects, constantly evolving from the initial investment in physical goods such as stamps and calligraphy to financial investments such as futures, options, stocks, and foreign exchange trading, and now extending to new fields such as NFT (digital collectibles) and digital currency. From the statistical data, the top three investment projects with the most cases are futures, stocks, and virtual currencies, accounting for approximately 50%, 20%, and 11%, respectively. Criminals often use WeChat public accounts, mini-programs, and live broadcasts to promote so-called "virtual currencies" and other content, causing the scope of related illegal information to continue to expand and the number of victims to increase continuously.

  • Analyst Andrew Sacher: Waller's Remarks Undermine Market Dovish Expectations

    On August 28, analyst Andrew Sacher stated: "Previously, some believed that Federal Reserve Chairman Waller advocated for using alternative inflation measures to select the one most favorable to him. However, in this speech, his approach was quite the opposite. He dissected PCE inflation and found that 49% of its components had an annualized price increase exceeding 3%, categorizing this level as 'quite high.' His discussion on the labor market was also hawkish, focusing on low unemployment rates and initial jobless claims. The usually closely watched non-farm payroll numbers were only briefly mentioned."

  • Walsh Emphasizes Anti-Inflation Efforts as U.S. Short-Term Treasury Yields Rise

    On August 28, U.S. short-term Treasury yields increased. Federal Reserve Chairman Walsh, in a highly anticipated speech, emphasized the need for the Fed to curb rising consumer prices, alleviating some market concerns about its ability to combat inflation. During Walsh's speech, short-term U.S. Treasuries were sold off while long-term Treasuries rose. The yield on the two-year Treasury increased by 5 basis points to 4.28%, while the 30-year yield fell by 1 basis point to 5.19%. These changes indicate that the market expects the Fed may need to raise short-term rates. Since Walsh's first press conference in June, bond traders have had doubts about his policy stance. At that time, Walsh stressed the need to lower inflation and displayed a hawkish stance. Since the global economy reopened from the pandemic in 2021, U.S. inflation has remained above the Fed's 2% target. However, in July, the Fed kept rates unchanged, and Walsh did not indicate whether a rate hike might occur this year. Subsequently, long-term Treasury yields rose significantly as traders demanded higher returns to compensate for the risks posed by escalating inflation. On Friday, Walsh warned that inflation had not shown meaningful signs of slowing and stated that policymakers must be confident that inflation is improving; otherwise, the central bank 'has work to do.' He also reiterated that policymakers will bring the inflation rate back to the 2% target, emphasizing that this goal is clear and fixed.
