Quick Glance: Powell Warns of Lack of Progress on Inflation
- Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell emphasized that the U.S. economy, while otherwise strong, has not seen a return of inflation to the central bank's target.

- Financial markets have had to adjust their expectations for rate cuts this year as inflation has been higher than expected, and the Fed's policy continues to be dependent on data.

- The S&P 500 may be facing potential downside risk, with a deep decline possibly unfolding in stages, with the Nasdaq 100 potentially being the last to be affected.
- In the era of 'buying the dip,' there is a chance that a decline could occur gradually or swiftly, or it could even be a false alarm.
- As a risk manager, it is more important to assess the risks of different market segments and position accordingly, rather than speculate on market movements.
- The primary goal is to avoid being affected by market-changing sell-offs, and adjusting the portfolio to address the current market risks is crucial.
