AI interpretation: After the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision, there has been a drastic restructuring of market pricing, and expectations for interest rate hikes have significantly increased. Investors have significantly lowered the probability of keeping interest rates unchanged and instead bet on a more aggressive tightening path. This shift directly reflects the market's reassessment of the tightening cycle of monetary policy, strengthening expectations of a longer duration of high interest rate environment. The rapid switching of fund flows indicates that the market is digesting more severe liquidity pressure, which directly suppresses risky assets.
