[Analysis: The fate of the US stock market depends on the next 14 trading days as key economic events will follow] Jin10 data reported on August 31, in the coming weeks, the US stock market will enter a critical period that will determine whether the latest rebound can continue. Employment data, key inflation indicators, and the Fed's interest rate decision will be released sequentially over the next 14 trading days, setting the market tone for investors. The current stock market seems to be at a crossroads: the S&P 500 index has just recorded its weakest monthly rise since March, and September has historically been its worst-performing month. Meanwhile, market fluctuations have almost disappeared. The panic index VIX has only touched the key level of 20 once since the end of June. "It is correct for investors to remain cautious in September," said Thomas Lee, head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors. "The Fed is reopening a moderate rate-cutting cycle after a long pause, which makes it difficult for traders to determine their positions." This long-term bullish analyst on US stocks expects the S&P 500 to drop by 5% to 10% this fall, followed by a rebound to between 6800 and 7000 points.
