The U.S. policy level is brewing a major adjustment. A series of recently announced measures directly target the financial and real estate markets.
Credit card interest rate issues are at the forefront—calling for a cap set at 10%. This is a significant benefit for consumers and also means that the profit margins for financial institutions will be squeezed. The ban on institutional purchases of single-family homes is also noteworthy, aiming to break the monopoly of large capital on the housing market.
Even more aggressive is the direct purchase of $200 billion in mortgage-backed securities to lower interest rates. This substantial financial commitment reflects strong support for the real estate market. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve is explicitly instructed to reduce interest rates to 1% by 2026. If this comes true, liquidity will experience an unprecedented release.
Energy prices are also on the agenda—setting $2 per gallon of gasoline as an economic priority, involving the oil and gas sector and the entire energy cost chain. Lastly, there are "stimulus checks" related to tariffs, with a scale of $2,000. Although not huge, the signal is to continue stimulating consumption.
This combination of measures in an election year will trigger chain reactions across multiple dimensions such as liquidity, asset allocation, and the costs of the real economy. Market participants need to closely monitor the follow-up developments of these policies.

200 billion invested in the housing market, interest rates lowered to 1%? This isn't a bailout, it's clearly just prolonging asset inflation.

Will the interest rate drop to 1% in 2026? Damn, isn't that just printing money? Inflation will really take off then.

According to research, the core logic of this policy combination is actually a prelude to liquidity release—200 billion yuan in bond purchases with a 1% interest rate target. From the perspective of the money multiplier, the entire financial system's leverage space will be thoroughly unlocked.
It is worth noting that the 10% interest rate cap on credit cards seems to be a positive for consumption, but from the asset-liability perspective of financial institutions, this will directly compress the net interest margin of small and medium-sized banks, potentially increasing risk premiums in the long run—somewhat like drinking poison to quench thirst.
I have some doubts about the energy price target. Achieving $2 gasoline in the current geopolitical situation is almost impossible unless they plan to release strategic petroleum reserves or provide direct subsidies. But how would the costs be calculated for such measures?
