Citigroup said US investors’ stock holdings were showing signs of caution, casting doubt on whether the strength could continue. Strategists Chris Montagu and others wrote in a report that the recent liquidation of short positions has brought the S&P Index to a lopsided net gain, but investors appear hesitant to increase their holdings further. For the technology-heavy Nasdaq 100, although it was up last week, positions have reversed to net short positions.
“We have yet to see significant changes in the outlook going forward that would suggest a real strengthening of confidence, and investors appear to be cautiously optimistic at best,” Montagu said. “Long positions are boring, and both long and short positions continue to be reduced simultaneously, which seems to further indicate that investors are fairly optimistic and cautious.”
Although the Federal Reserve is still hesitant about the possibility of cutting interest rates, Marija Veitmane, head of equity research at State Street Global Markets, warned that there are many signs that the economy has felt the negative impact of raising interest rates If the Fed he does not loosen monetary policy as soon as possible, , economic collapse is coming.
“Delaying a rate cut will have a real impact on the economy. So, although we are still on a plateau at the moment, not cutting rates could cause economic problems down the road.” “It’s a very possible hope.”

Susan Collins, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, said: “The recent unexpected increase in economic activity and inflation suggests that we may need to maintain policy at current levels until we are more confident that inflation will continue to move towards 2%. data gives me confidence that it will, which will take longer than previously thought.
Collins said it was not unexpected to see setbacks in the slowdown in inflation, such as the lack of progress in the first quarter. “The current situation requires organized persistence, recognizing that progress will take time and will continue to be uneven,” he said.
