"MSX Research Institute·US Stock RWA Daily Observation" is a flagship daily report produced by the leading RWA trading platform MSX. Leveraging our strong macro research capabilities, we capture the core pulse of global traditional US stocks, liquidity changes, and the RWA tokenized market to help you strategically position quality assets.

Today's Observation:

Newly appointed Federal Reserve Chair Waller attended congressional hearings for two consecutive days. Despite a surprising sharp drop in the June CPI earlier that morning, he firmly adopted a hawkish stance, emphasizing "zero tolerance" for inflation, downplaying single-month data, and abandoning forward guidance. With oil prices returning above 80 dollars, the market quickly retracted its previously elevated expectations for interest rate cuts.

Data in One Minute:

• June CPI year-on-year dropped to 3.5% (previously 4.2%), core at 2.6%, both below expectations but still above the 2% target

• Waller's five key topics: inflation, hawkish monetary policy, neutrality on independence and reform, only dovish on AI

• 7/28–29 FOMC: Market bets on "holding steady," with rate hike focus shifting to September (about 60% probability)

• Implied probability of "zero rate cuts" by 2026 is about 80%

MSX View:

We believe that a slightly weak CPI combined with a hawkish new chair leads to the outcome of "cooling does not equal rate cuts." Waller prefers to see inflation truly return to target rather than shifting due to a couple of good months of data, further reinforcing the "higher for longer" tone. For US stocks, this may short-term suppress high-valuation growth stocks, but if earnings are strong enough, they can still withstand it. The real watershed moment will be the core PCE on 7/30 and the subsequent major corporation earnings reports: the "second episode" of policy must be written by the data.
