Currently consolidating with no fluctuations, everyone seems to be waiting for tonight's data. At 21:30, the initial jobless claims will be released, followed by the PCE at 23:00, all waiting for this to break the deadlock.

The main event on Wednesday starts at 21:30 Beijing time, when the U.S. will announce the second estimate of third-quarter GDP. In the third quarter, the U.S. economy grew robustly at an annual rate of 2.8%, and economists expect no revisions to this data.

Also released will be the initial jobless claims data for the week ending last Saturday. The market generally predicts that this week's initial jobless claims will be 216,000, slightly higher than the previous week's 213,000, but still indicating a strong job market.

The highlight on Wednesday is undoubtedly the October U.S. Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, which will be released at 23:00 Beijing time. This is the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge.

Economists expect the overall PCE to rise by 0.2% month-on-month and to record 2.3% year-on-year; after excluding the volatile prices of food and energy, the core PCE is expected to rise by 0.3% month-on-month and to record 2.8% year-on-year. Although the data may be slightly higher than September's levels, it may be enough to reassure Federal Reserve officials that the overall trend of easing inflation is still on track. #美国GDP数据即将公布
