This week, the global financial markets are迎来 a critical moment, with two major events about to take place that could completely rewrite the year-end market trend. Investors need to remain highly vigilant and closely follow market developments.

The first and foremost is the highly anticipated Federal Reserve interest rate decision. In the early hours of October 29, Beijing time, Fed Chairman Powell will announce the latest interest rate policy. The market generally expects that this may initiate a new round of interest rate cuts. If a rate cut becomes a reality, global liquidity could significantly increase, potentially triggering a frenzy in risk assets. However, if there is an unexpected decision to maintain the current interest rate, the market may experience significant volatility. It is worth noting that Powell's statements on the future direction of policy may be more important than the decision on this rate cut, and investors should pay close attention.

Following closely is the new development in China-U.S. trade relations. A new round of high-level trade negotiations between China and the U.S. is about to begin, and the U.S. Treasury Secretary recently released positive signals, indicating that China is ready to reach an agreement and hopes to cancel some of the additional tariffs. If this meeting achieves breakthrough progress, it will bring many positive effects: the global supply chain tension is expected to ease, the U.S. stock technology sector and core assets in the A-share market may benefit simultaneously, and the RMB exchange rate may also experience a phase of strengthening.

In the face of these two major events, it is advised that investors adopt the following trading strategies: maintain flexible positions on the two key trading days of Wednesday and Thursday, avoid heavy one-sided bets; closely monitor the fluctuations of safe-haven assets such as gold and US Treasuries; and be ready to respond to sudden changes in market sentiment.

Historical experience shows that in the context of such significant events, risks and opportunities often co-exist. Wise investors should be like excellent surfers, staying alert to risks while also being adept at seizing the best investment opportunities. In this uncertain market environment, it is crucial to remain calm, rational, and adaptable.
