The Federal Reserve's shift to a rate-cutting stance has boosted investor optimism in the US stock market IPOs. Currently, the upward trend in the US stock market has expanded to include small-cap stocks and other sectors, and it is expected that companies preparing to go public may accelerate their IPO timelines. However, the timing of a significant recovery in the new stock market remains uncertain, depending on the decline in the federal funds rate and seasonal factors. The market expects a 75 basis point reduction in the federal funds rate next year. In addition, there are risks associated with the US election and the pandemic. Bankers are cautiously optimistic about the return of larger-scale IPOs next year.

With the possibility of a Fed rate cut, will the US IPO market no longer experience a "false recovery" next year?

Some buyers choose to wait and see, waiting for market prices they can accept. NVIDIA's stock price fell by about 1%, and the outlook for AI GPU chip demand showed a mixed expectation. The "price game" signal between buyers and sellers has emerged, especially when some buyers choose to wait and see, waiting for market prices they can accept. The channel forecast for data center GPU shipments remains largely unchanged, and chip shortages are expected to continue for some time, especially with the tight supply of chips from TSMC. NVIDIA's customers are still testing the H200 and L20 chips, and it is expected that the scale of customer trials will increase in the first half of 2024. Some customers may prefer to wait and see temporarily, waiting for market prices they can accept. It is not yet clear why NVIDIA's AI GPU demand suddenly showed a mixed forecast, but it is speculated that it may be related to the launch of new products and the release of powerful chips by competitors.

Is the "price game" of AI chips emerging? Will Nvidia's monopoly face variables?

The Hong Kong stock market tends to follow trends. Often, by the time retail investors realize the medium to long-term trend, the stock price has already approached its high point. Both A-shares and Hong Kong stocks have stagnant funds and low trading volume. The Chinese securities brokerage sector has experienced the greatest volatility recently, with rumors of mergers and acquisitions heating up. The mergers and acquisitions in the securities industry are expected to enter an accelerated period, but the attractiveness of the securities sector to off-exchange speculative funds seems to be declining. The A-share market in the Beijing Stock Exchange has shown obvious profitability, attracting new speculative funds. The IPO market in the Beijing Stock Exchange is gradually heating up, with 34 companies accepted since September. It is expected that the trading volume in the Beijing Stock Exchange can exceed 80 billion yuan per day next year.
