π§ Market Assessment
US May CPI is due tonight, with market consensus at 4.2% YoY. If confirmed, this would be the highest reading in three years, and rate hike expectations could surge dramatically.
Gold has suffered its most severe selloff of the year, with all YTD gains erased. Standard Chartered’s warning about redemption waves is a potential black swan if it materializes.
Crude oil remains relatively resilient with geopolitical premiums providing support, but a hot CPI print tonight could weigh on risk assets broadly.
Japan’s weak 30Y bond auction combined with BOJ rate hike expectations next week signals accumulating global interest rate pressure.
STAR 50’s outperformance amid broad A-share weakness suggests structural rotation continues β capital flowing from large-cap value toward tech growth.
