Summary
Wu said this week's macro indicators and analysis: Last week, the US non-farm payrolls in May exceeded expectations, but the unemployment rate rose to 4%. Even though it is known that employment growth is mainly driven by illegal immigrants, the market still interprets it pessimistically; at the same time, the two major central banks of Canada and the eurozone announced interest rate cuts. This week ushered in a major data event, focusing on the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision and the US May unadjusted CPI annual rate.
