The Federal Reserve announced the minutes of its September interest rate meeting on Wednesday local time, where officials were divided on the decision to cut rates by 50 basis points, leading to complex market sentiments. Some argued for a gradual approach with a single cut of 25 basis points, but ultimately, the market's optimism was bolstered, with the three major U.S. stock indices closing higher, and the S&P 500 hitting a new closing high. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 1.30%, the S&P 500 by 0.71%, and the Nasdaq by 0.60%. I wonder, why do the decisions of the Federal Reserve cause such anxiety? We ordinary investors are on edge with these ups and downs. What exactly are the Federal Reserve officials considering? Are they worried about slowing economic growth or aiming to stabilize the financial markets? Perhaps we can find answers in their meeting minutes.

The negotiations between Boeing and the union have broken down, which is quite surprising. On October 9th, the aviation giant actually withdrew its wage increase offer, triggering dissatisfaction and anger among employees. The stock price immediately closed down by 3.41%, reaching a new low in a year. This outcome is quite astonishing; how could Boeing disregard the rights and interests of its employees so blatantly? Boeing's actions have not only hurt the feelings of its employees but also damaged its brand image. The stock price drop is self-inflicted.

Google holds about 90% of the U.S. internet search market share, no wonder it has caught the attention of the U.S. Department of Justice. Now, the Department of Justice is considering forcing Google to sell some of its businesses to weaken its monopolistic position. The tech giant is naturally unwilling to comply and has stated its intention to appeal. As a result, the stock price of Google's parent company, Alphabet, closed down by 1.53%. I believe that this monopolistic situation indeed needs to be addressed. Although it may cause distress for investors, it is necessary to maintain fair competition and market health.

On October 9th, Germany's August export data exceeded expectations, international oil prices fell, and funds returned to the stock market. Technology stocks led the rise in stock markets across several European countries, with the UK stock market up by 0.65%, the French stock market by 0.52%, and the German stock market by 0.99%. The market's changes are unpredictable; the decline in oil prices and the rise in stock markets are truly baffling. Some countries' stock markets have seen significant gains, while others have experienced declines, making the stock market's fluctuations quite enigmatic. The drop in oil prices has a significant impact on some countries' economies, while the rise in stock markets has given investors hope.

Data released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration shows that U.S. commercial crude oil inventories increased significantly last week, far exceeding market expectations. This is the second consecutive week of growth, indicating a weakening demand for U.S. oil consumption. International oil prices have thus come under pressure, with the November delivery of light crude oil futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange closing at $73.24 per barrel, down by 0.45%; the price of Brent crude oil futures for December delivery also fell, closing at $76.58 per barrel, down by 0.78%. The fluctuation in oil prices has a significant impact on related industries, and the signal of weakening oil demand may also affect the overall trend of the U.S. economy.

After the Federal Reserve announced the minutes of its September interest rate meeting on Wednesday, the market began to closely monitor the possibility of the Federal Reserve pausing interest rate cuts in November. The U.S. dollar index then rose, and U.S. Treasury yields also increased. As a result, international gold prices fell slightly, marking four consecutive days of decline and reaching a recent low. The December gold futures price on the New York Mercantile Exchange closed at $2,626.0 per ounce, down by 0.36%. These successive changes have left investors struggling to keep up, tracking market trends while also contemplating the Federal Reserve's next moves.

To be honest, the events of the day have a significant impact on the lives and investments of ordinary people like us. The unpredictable nature of the market requires us to remain vigilant at all times and not blindly follow the crowd. As experts say, the risks in the investment market are objective, and we cannot afford to be complacent. In my view, we need to carefully study this information and make wise decisions; otherwise, we might inadvertently deplete our financial resources. To move forward steadily in the investment market, we must possess keen insight and rational judgment.

In this ever-changing financial world, we need to maintain sharp observation and wise judgment. Today's gains could be tomorrow's losses, and no one can predict the future. Therefore, we must keep our eyes wide open, learn extensively, observe from multiple angles, and only then can we stand firm in this rapidly changing market. Only through continuous learning and observation can we seize opportunities, avoid risks, and sail towards wealth.

Family, the financial changes we face are indeed complex. We must not lose our way and must have our own judgments and plans. Only in this way can we maintain a clear mind in the turbulent market and make wise choices. Otherwise, we will be passively influenced by financial changes and lose the initiative. Therefore, we must remain vigilant, constantly pay attention to financial dynamics, think and judge independently, and ensure the safety of our wealth.
