The 'September Curse' returns? Panic index soars nearly 50%, and the volatility of US stocks may continue.
As the interest rate cuts, can the US bond interest rates continue to decline?
Before the interest rate cut landed, the slope of the US bond yield declined even more, but after the interest rate cut landed, the downward slope slowed down. At the time of the interest rate cut, the trading factors such as the 'rush' of interest rate cut trading and the increase in short positions may cause short-term rebound in US bond yields, while the rebound magnitude of long-term US bond yields may be even greater.

Summers said that the August non-farm employment report in the United States was not particularly bad.

"The New American Union News Agency" said that the non-farm payrolls cannot indicate the magnitude of the interest rate cut in September, and the Federal Reserve's voting members did not explicitly speak out about a 50 basis point rate cut in September, which may disappoint the market. Some analysts also say that the market has entered a new paradigm, shifting its focus from inflation to growth, and economic bad news is now unfavorable for the stock market.

August non-farm payrolls: Not good, but not as bad as "expected".
The last and most important non-agricultural data before the September FOMC meeting directly determines whether the "recession panic" will intensify and whether the Fed will cut interest rates by 25bp or 50bp two weeks later.
