On July 7, Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller stated that if used appropriately, the practice of signaling future interest rate paths can still play a positive role. Waller made these remarks at a conference in Rome. Previously, newly appointed Fed Chair Kevin Warsh pledged to reduce the Fed's reliance on so-called 'forward guidance' and instead adopt a more data-driven approach to policy adjustments. Waller emphasized that forward guidance remains a valuable policy tool. During the surge in inflation amid the pandemic, forward guidance helped the central bank communicate that interest rates would rise. Even before the Fed officially raised rates, the financial environment had already begun to tighten. However, he also noted that Fed officials sometimes become too rigid in their use of forward guidance, which can constrain their policy flexibility. He cited the example from 2020 and 2021 when the Fed explicitly stated it would keep rates unchanged for a period, even as inflation was already beginning to rise rapidly.

On July 7, Federal Reserve Governor Waller stated that the U.S. labor market has stabilized, while inflation is accelerating again. Currently, inflation risks have surpassed employment risks, marking a complete reversal from policy considerations a year ago. He pointed out that last year, rate cuts were supported due to a weak labor market, but now the policy focus should shift back to curbing inflation. The market is currently turning its attention to the June CPI, which will be released on July 14, as it is the last key inflation data before the Federal Reserve meeting on July 28-29. Despite international oil prices falling to around $70 per barrel, Fed officials still expect inflation to be significantly above the 2% target by the end of the year. The market anticipates that the Fed will raise interest rates by September at the latest, with a roughly 25% probability of a rate hike in July, as several officials have signaled further tightening of policies.

On July 7, a spokesperson for NVIDIA responded that the company's product roadmap remains unaffected. This comes after research firm SemiAnalysis stated that NVIDIA's next-generation AI computing architecture, Kyber, may be delayed by 12 months to 2028 due to development setbacks, with the architecture originally planned for the next-generation Rubin Ultra GPU. Mizuho Securities analyst Jordan Klein noted that the market has seen similar rumors of NVIDIA's product delays multiple times, describing such news as more of a 'sensational noise.' The impact of the rumors was limited, as NVIDIA's stock still rose approximately 1.2% during intraday trading on Monday. Kyber is seen as a significant upgrade to NVIDIA's data center architecture, featuring a new vertical rack design aimed at enhancing computing density and reducing network latency, while also expected to boost demand in the data center co-packaged optics (CPO) supply chain.

On July 7, Federal Reserve Governor Waller stated that the Fed will not intentionally maintain low interest rates to assist the U.S. government in financing its budget deficit. He noted that considering the establishment of an inflation target range is reasonable. Fed Chairman Waller reiterated the commitment to the 2% target, expressing a preference for setting the inflation target as a range. However, adjusting the inflation target at this stage would undermine the Fed's credibility.

On July 7, The Kobeissi Letter stated that it currently believes the S&P 500 index is preparing to break above 8000 points, as chip stocks have quietly become the new leading sector in this bull market. Although many of the 'Seven Giants' of US stocks have fallen more than 20% from recent highs, semiconductor stocks have taken over market leadership. This year, 8 out of the 10 best-performing stocks in the S&P 500 are from the chip industry. Despite the weakness of large tech stocks that have led the market since 2022, the S&P 500 is currently only about 1% below its historical high. This marks the first time since 2022 that the market has risen under the leadership of sectors outside the 'Seven Giants,' while the 'Seven Giants' have shown contrary trends. The report suggests that this rotation is positive, as the 'Seven Giants' are preparing to take the lead again. As large-cap tech stocks begin to regain leadership, while semiconductors continue to outperform or even cool down, the S&P 500 is expected to rise above 8000 points. Asset holders will continue to benefit.
