Morning review:

Dear friends, I am Don Adam Perera, and I am delighted to be with you all in this community on this special Labor Day, sharing this wonderful time together. Today, we not only enjoy the relaxation and joy that Labor Day brings, but more importantly, we will focus on this week’s key financial information and seek new wealth opportunities.

Labor Day is a day when we express our respect and gratitude to all workers. The tireless efforts and sweat of every worker form the solid foundation of our society’s prosperity and progress. Each piece of their work and every drop of sweat carries hopes and promises for the future. On this special day, we should not only relax and enjoy the pleasures of the holiday, but also remain highly vigilant about market dynamics. As we celebrate the contributions of workers, we should also be ready for the upcoming challenges and opportunities, prepared to seize any wealth growth opportunities that may arise this week.

This week, the market will face the test of several important economic data releases, which will provide crucial guidance for our investment decisions. During this week, we need to closely monitor the following economic data:

1.On September 3rd, the August ISM Manufacturing Employment Index will be released, which is an important indicator for assessing the employment status in the manufacturing sector.

2.On September 5th, multiple data sets will be released, including the August ADP Employment Report and ISM Non-Manufacturing Index, as well as the Federal Reserve’s Beige Book. The ADP Employment Report is indicative of non-farm employment trends, while the ISM Non-Manufacturing Index provides a snapshot of the economic conditions in the service sector; the Federal Reserve’s Beige Book offers a comprehensive report on economic conditions ahead of the upcoming Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting.

3.On September 6th, critical non-farm payroll data and the unemployment rate for August will be released. This non-farm data, being the last major data release before the Federal Reserve’s rate decision, is crucial for assessing the extent and timing of the Fed’s rate cuts.

Dear friends, this week the market will face a series of important economic data releases, and each data release could potentially cause significant market price fluctuations, thereby impacting our investment strategies.

Therefore, we must remain highly vigilant, adjusting and optimizing our asset allocation in a timely manner based on the changes in these economic data, to achieve wealth appreciation.

Key events to focus on this week:

1.Warren Buffett’s company has once again reduced its holdings in Bank of America stock, sending a signal of uncertainty to the market. This reminds us to remain vigilant in our investment decisions and to assess potential market risks.

2.Tesla plans to launch Robotaxi at Warner Brothers Hollywood Studios. This new development is expected to positively impact Tesla’s stock price, potentially leading to an increase. We should pay attention to related developments and seize investment opportunities.

3.Military strikes continue in the Gaza Strip ahead of a temporary ceasefire, and the tension in the Middle East has a significant impact on the markets. Against this backdrop, market risk aversion may drive up the demand for gold, and stocks related to the gold sector are expected to benefit.

4.On September 6th, a Federal Reserve official will give a speech. This will not only provide further interpretation of the non-farm data but will also offer important clues for analyzing the future scope and pace of rate cuts.

Dear friends, based on the economic data and key events this week, we can anticipate that the market will experience significant price fluctuations. This presents a great challenge for all of us, but remember, challenges and opportunities always coexist. Therefore, I hope every member of our community can maintain composure, calmly face the upcoming market volatility, accurately gauge the market pulse, and continuously optimize our investment portfolios.

Let’s come together to face these challenges, seize the opportunities, and seek success in this complex market environment. I look forward to meeting all the friends in our community in tomorrow’s wealth opportunities. See you tomorrow.
