In the global stock market, weakening is considered to be promoted by frustrating US economic data and Federal Reserve interest rate cuts.
Some reports show that the factory price index (PPI) of industrial producers in the United States exceeded expectations.At the same time, the number of applicants for and receive unemployment benefits is lower than expected.These factors weaken the reason for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates.
Market participants will pay close attention to the monetary policy position that the Fed will set up next week.Most people predict that the Federal Reserve has unchanged interest rates and starts to cut interest rates from the end of June or July.(Compiled/Zhu Jie)
