U.S. December inflation data CPI increased by 2.7% year-on-year, and the market is optimistic about this data, leading to a rise in Nasdaq futures. Maintaining the same inflation rate for two consecutive months has strengthened market expectations for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates further, with the current market anticipating the next rate cut may occur in June. Although earlier data was questioned due to controversy over statistical methods, the continuity has increased its credibility. As subsequent data is released, the expectation for rate cuts may be moved up to April, indicating a relatively cautious market attitude.
