聯儲局數據 (341)

美國聯儲局 (Federal Reserve) 經常發表數據，大鱷往往借勢炒高插低，例如上周五趁「美國 5 月就業數據」差勁即插低道指 400 點，牽連港股亦跌 1,000 點！如果我們亦想混水摸魚的話，那以下的一些經濟指標和發表數據日子便要特別留意一下，看看是否有大茶飯及「亦將有以利吾國乎？」

九大經濟指標如下（+ 發表數據日子，如有）：
(1) Unemployment Report --- 1^st Friday each month;
(2) Monthly Retail Sales --- Middle of month;
(3) GDP --- 3 announcements each quarter;
(4) Monthly Auto Sales --- 1^st or 2^nd day each month;
(5) Monthly New Home Sales;
(6) Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Production Price Index (PPI) --- Inflation gauge;
(7) Consumer Sentiment (Complied by University of Michigan) --- once a month;
(8) Leading Economic Indicators (LEI) --- monthly survey (meaning: if 3 consecutive monthly LEI change in the same direction, it implies a turning point in economy); it also includes 11 composite indicators;
(9) Jobless Claims (by US Labour Department) --- monthly basis.

5 月 未來發表數據的日子：
13/5 --- 美國 5 月 CPI；
17/5 ---美國 5 月 PPI；
24/5 ---美國聯儲局議息

我覺得平時其實可以不理這些數據，但跌市就不妨特別留意一下，看看大鱷如何出招！
