[This week's schedule] A week where the risk of sudden changes in stock prices and exchange rates is extremely high!

I have a lot of important plans for this week.

Both stocks and exchange rates are likely to move, so I'd like to refrain from unnecessary trading!

・ 🇺🇸 FOMC
・ 🇺🇸 Consumer Price Index (CPI)
・ 🇺🇸 Producer Price Index (PPI)

This is particularly noteworthy.

Interest rates are expected to remain unchanged (no interest rate hikes) in the current FOMC.

That's because inflation has calmed down quite a bit compared to before. Good news for the stock market 😌

But you can't let your guard down.

As you can see in the image below, although the “overall” of the CPI (Consumer Price Index) has declined, the “core” is still flat.

In other words, “prices have declined overall, but some are still high.”

When it comes to “partial”, it's mainly the service price.

Take a look at the pie chart for the overall CPI and the structure of the CPI core. (Composition ratio as of 23/2)

Food and energy prices seem to be falling,
Housing, medical care, transportation, labor costs, etc. have remained high.

In other words, in order to forcibly lower this price
This means that there is a possibility that the Fed will raise interest rates again after July.


If so, there is a possibility that the stock market will fall again.

However, if you mainly think about long-term investments, I think a decline could be an opportunity to prepare at a low price.
