  • Yili Hua: US Stocks Correct as Expected, Decline Faster Than Anticipated

    On June 5, Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital) founder Yili Hua stated, "As we anticipated, US stocks have begun to correct, and expectations for interest rate cuts have changed. Trading is always the most challenging task; getting it right ten times and wrong once can lead to problems. It is essential to remain cautious and manage risks. The speed of this decline following the rebound has far exceeded expectations. However, it also comes with greater opportunities; historically, bear markets have been the time to make money, while bull markets often lead to losses."
