Piers: 我认为近期标普500指数的反弹主要受到两个因素的驱动。首先是美国低于预期的通货膨胀数据，这增加了市场对美联储可能提前降息的预期。其次是特朗普政府在关税问题上采取了相对缓和的态度，与中国达成了初步协议，暂时缓解了贸易紧张局势。当然，市场中仍然存在一些担忧，例如史蒂夫·科恩认为美国经济衰退的风险仍然很高。但我认为，总体而言，这两个因素共同推动了股市的强劲反弹。此外，我认为市场波动速度比以往任何时候都快，算法交易和散户投资者的参与也加速了市场波动。因此，我认为投资者需要密切关注市场动态，及时调整投资策略。 Piers: 我认为“taco trade”这个概念很好地概括了特朗普政府在贸易问题上的策略。特朗普经常先威胁要对中国征收高额关税，导致市场恐慌性下跌，然后又降低关税，从而引发市场反弹。这种策略虽然短期内可能对市场有利，但长期来看可能会损害市场的稳定性和可预测性。我认为投资者需要对这种策略保持警惕，避免盲目追涨杀跌。此外，我认为通货膨胀是影响美联储货币政策的关键因素。如果通货膨胀率持续下降，美联储可能会提前降息，这将对股市产生积极影响。但如果通货膨胀率再次反弹，美联储可能会推迟降息，这将对股市产生负面影响。因此，我认为投资者需要密切关注通货膨胀数据，及时调整投资策略。

They also dive into the surprise inflation slowdown, what it means for Fed rate cuts, and why the looming US debt ceiling deadline could be the next big market risk. Plus, is “taco trade” the new “buy the dip”?
