The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

Chapter 356 The Election is a Watershed Moment

Around 5 a.m., about an hour after the US stock market closed, the Federal Reserve officially released its announcement.

The government announced an emergency interest rate cut of 50 basis points, bringing the rate down to 1%, the lowest level in nearly 50 years, driving more funds into the investment market.

The international financial markets erupted in jubilation following the Federal Reserve's public statement.

Combined with the inevitable technical rebound after a continuous sharp decline, this determines that the international financial market will experience a comprehensive surge today.

That's exactly the case!

The New Zealand and Australian stock markets, which opened earliest, reacted the fastest, opening higher and continuing to rise!

The Japanese, South Korean, and Singaporean stock markets, which opened shortly after, saw even larger increases.

When Ling Yun arrived at the CIC headquarters at 10 a.m., the entire Asia-Pacific financial market was already experiencing a general upward trend!

Upon seeing Ling Yun arrive at the joint investment team's office area first, Secretary Zhou and General Manager Xie immediately came to greet him and escorted him into the office.

As soon as the door closed, Mr. Xie asked impatiently:

"How should we trade international crude oil futures today? Lingyun, international crude oil futures have already risen by more than 4%, and they seem to be gaining momentum."

As soon as he finished speaking, Secretary Zhou and several other investment directors echoed his sentiments, describing the reactions of the investment departments of various airlines.

Ling Yun glanced at these old friends and smiled as he offered specific investment strategies.

"The joint investment team remains unchanged, firmly committed to shorting. Don't be swayed by today's fluctuations; this surge is merely a temporary rebound!"

"The investment departments of various airlines completed their short-to-long positions early yesterday morning, and today is a good time to sell. Once crude oil futures rise by more than 6%, they will immediately begin closing out their positions."

"Once international crude oil futures rise by more than 7%, the investment departments of various airlines will switch from long to short positions again, gradually building up short positions in international crude oil futures, and reaping another harvest."

"The Fed's emergency rate cut is merely a stopgap measure, treating the symptoms but not the root cause. For example, the credit market hasn't thawed, and the financial markets will continue to decline..."

Hearing his analysis, Secretary Zhou and President Xie breathed a sigh of relief, and then their eyes lit up with excitement.

They had no doubt about the investment strategy Lingyun had given them.

As soon as Ling Yun finished speaking, they all nodded in unison.

"Understood, we'll get started soon. It feels so good to be harvesting back and forth like this!"

"Who can argue with that? I really hope international oil prices keep fluctuating wildly; that way, airlines will definitely be able to make enough money for decades to come!"

After chatting and laughing for a while, Secretary Zhou and his team took their leave and went out to make calls to the investment departments of various airlines to arrange the operations.

After seeing them off, Ling Yun went behind his desk, sat down, and turned on his computer to check the situation in the international financial market and the international crude oil market.

During that time, I called Mr. Kong and Mr. Sun one by one to discuss the situation of the international crude oil futures market and its future trend.

Around noon, he went downstairs to the office area of ​​the United Securities investment team.

After entering the office downstairs, he immediately summoned General Manager Chen and the others to hold an investment analysis meeting.

Once everyone had arrived, he immediately got to the point.

"I'd like to mention something: the Federal Reserve's emergency rate cut provided a strong stimulus to the international financial markets, and while it came on quite strongly, the effects will also subside very quickly!"

"If my judgment is correct, this surge will only last for a little over a day. By tomorrow afternoon and evening, it will quickly recede and enter a period of consolidation!"

Hearing that this super rally lasted so short, everyone couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

No one questioned Ling Yun's judgment in the slightest!

The past near-miraculous operations and the ever-flowing tide of enormous wealth are the best proof of this.

Just when everyone thought Ling Yun was about to instruct the various investment teams to cash out their profits, he suddenly changed the subject.

"However, next week is the US election week. The Republican Party has been in power for two terms, and based on various information, the probability of the Democratic Party winning this time is extremely high."

"Based on the Democratic Party's campaign strategy and its consistent economic policy stance, if the Democratic Party comes to power, the United States' economic policy will inevitably undergo significant changes."

"This financial crisis was triggered during Republican administration, which is logical; people are utterly disappointed with the current US government and full of expectations for a Democratic administration."

"In view of this, if the Democrats win the election, the international financial markets are likely to respond with a surge. Let's take the day the US election results are announced as a watershed."

"Until then, we remain firmly bullish. Even if there are some fluctuations, there's no need to panic. We'll wait for the US election results and then choose an opportunity to close our positions and exit at higher levels."

"Then, before the US stock market closed that day, they reversed all their long positions and went short again, shorting the international financial markets. The reason is simple: the emotions triggered by the US election results cannot change the fundamentals."

"Moreover, the Democratic Party won't actually come to power until early January next year, and this financial crisis won't stop; international financial markets will continue to decline..."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Chen and his team could no longer hide their shock.

But seeing Ling Yun's confident demeanor and listening to his resolute analysis, everyone felt that this was a perfectly normal thing.

Of course, if someone else had said those words, that would have been a different story!

After finalizing the investment strategy for the next few days, Mr. Chen and his team began to report on the trends in the international financial markets that day.

The Asia-Pacific financial markets, which are currently in trading hours, are all surging, and the situation is very promising!

With Lingyun confirming that each investment team would hold their positions and maintain a bullish stance, the investment teams could simply relax and enjoy their newfound freedom!

The meeting ended at 12:30 pm. General Manager Chen and the others left together, went back to their offices to tidy up, and then went to have lunch.

Ling Yun stayed in the office and made phone calls to Chairman Lou, Chairman Zhao, Deputy Director Zhang, and Director Li of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

During the phone call, he shared his analysis of the international financial market trends for the coming week with Lou Dong and the others, urging them to prepare accordingly.

Not only that, he also packaged the analysis report he had prepared in advance and sent a copy to each of the directors!

Just like Mr. Chen and his group, Chairman Lou and Director Li were also taken aback.

They never expected that Ling Yun would be so certain about the outcome of the US election, and even more certain about the reaction of the international financial market after the election results were announced!

With such foresight and insight, looking at the entire international financial market, no one else can compare!

After receiving the email from Lingyun, Director Li and his team took it very seriously and immediately began in-depth research and timely response!

At this moment, Ling Yun had already left the CITIC headquarters by car and headed straight for the luxurious villa where Da Meiyuan and her parents lived, intending to have lunch with them.

Soon, it was already past three in the afternoon.

In a luxurious villa in Chaoyang, Ling Yun was nestled on the sofa in the home entertainment room with Da Meiyuan in his arms, watching a movie and chatting in hushed tones.

Just then, my phone in my pocket suddenly rang twice.

Ling Yun casually took out his phone and looked at the two text messages he had just received.

Both text messages were sent by Mr. Lou, bringing him the expected good news.

Just now, Porsche publicly announced that it will release 6% to 8% of its options liquidity into the stock market to alleviate market pressure!

"Once this news is released, the frenzied short squeeze on Volkswagen stock will quickly end, and Volkswagen stock will plummet from its high!"

"Sources within the German government indicate that the government opposes Porsche's forced acquisition of Volkswagen at this time and will reserve its veto power!"

"The second thing is that CIC and Volkswagen have reached an agreement to carry out a series of cooperation projects in the fields of funding and technology, including the transfer of some key technologies."

Upon seeing these two text messages, Ling Yun couldn't help but smile.
