The minutes of the U.S. Federal Reserve's interest rate meeting at the beginning of this month showed that if the anti-inflation progress is ineffective, the Fed will tighten further and maintain restrictive interest rates for a period of time. The remarks are biased towards the hawkish side. However, the market still generally expects interest rates to peak, and it is believed that the impact of the news on US stocks will be limited. As for the Hong Kong stock market, after rising above the 18,000 mark many times since October, the upward trend has been unsustainable and has turned back. It is expected that the Hang Seng Index will continue to fluctuate between 16,800 and 18,300 points this year.
