Deep Tide TechFlow News: On March 21, HSBC stated that the Federal Reserve maintained its policy interest rate unchanged at 3.50%-3.75% at its March meeting and hinted at adopting a "wait-and-see" approach. Persistent inflation and rising geopolitical risks have created uncertainty for the Federal Reserve. We maintain our previous view that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged in 2026 and 2027. Inflation risks have increased somewhat, particularly due to surging energy prices, while labor market risks have declined slightly. Energy price volatility and geopolitical risks should continue to support safe-haven demand and dollar strength.
