The market is anticipating few events in May 2026! Firstly,  Kevin Warsh will be governing Fed reserve. The current CPI inflation is 3.81% ( good inflation rate: 2%) and US 10 year treasury yield is 4.55% and is interesting to observe him tackling inflation and balancing employment rate.  Whether Kevin Warsh able to be independent or not, we have to be defensive approach in the midst of uncertainty. Secondly, US-China Summit is happening right now Trump bringing many CEO such as Nvidia, Qualcomm, Master, Micron and etc to make a deals with China.
