[Key Data Released in Quick Succession! Beware of Macroeconomic "Reset" Triggering Interest Rate Repricing This Week] 1. Saxo Bank's Chief Investment Strategist, Charu Chanana, points out that the market views this week as a brief "reset" of the US macroeconomic narrative, with the upcoming flurry of employment and inflation data potentially triggering a sharp adjustment in interest rate expectations in a very short period. 2. The signals released after last week's Fed rate cut indicate that it expects only one more rate cut in 2026, while the market currently prices in at least two rate cuts in 2026. Chanana states that if this week's data is mixed or slightly weaker than expected, the prevailing narrative of a "soft landing" may persist, but it is unlikely to be enough to drive a broad and significant rise in risk assets. 3. The real risk lies in a hawkish surprise. She warns that if inflation or employment data is significantly stronger than expected, it will push up Treasury yields, and risk assets, especially long-term growth stocks, will be the first to be impacted.
