ProMatrix Quantitative - Course Sharing on May 26th
May 26, 2025

Dear friends, I am Christian Luis Ahumada, Founder and Chief Analyst of Quantitative Trading at Prosper Grove Asset Management, and I am pleased to be able to join you in this solemn and contemplative time of honor and reflection.

 

At this time of national memory, symbolizing sacrifice and protection, we not only pay tribute to those heroes who sacrificed their lives for peace and ideals but also reflect on our own mission and choices in the current times.

Memorial Day is not just a holiday, it is more like a mirror. It makes us understand that real security is never taken for granted, and real value needs to be protected at a cost.

 

This spirit is very consistent with our mentality when facing the current investment market: stability, awe, long-term, and systematic view.

In the current volatile global landscape, we see geopolitical conflicts, monetary policies, trade tariff uncertainties, etc., which continue to disturb market sentiment, but history tells us that the real winners are never the profit-seekers of short-term opportunities, but rather those who have constructed a complete strategic trading system, deeply understand the logic of the assets and are able to continue to optimize in the midst of the wind and waves.

At such a monumental moment, we should be more reflective:

1. Have we established a truly risk-resistant asset allocation strategy system?

2. Can we approach long-term value investment with strategic thinking?

This is precisely the strategic significance of our “Dynamic Diversified Asset Allocation System”: it is not only a set of wealth strategies that dynamically adapt to market changes, but also a framework for asset thinking that seeks certainty in the midst of uncertainty, and more importantly, it is also a compound asset control capability that enables us to maintain strategic certainty and build wealth defense and offense in a complex and volatile global landscape. It is also the ability to maintain strategic stability and build wealth defense and offense in a complex and changing global landscape.

 

Dear friends, we can not predict every change in the market, but we can build a “dynamic diversified asset allocation system” strategic layout and disciplined implementation, to protect our family, life, dreams of every wealth layout.

 

Just like those soldiers who sacrificed for the country, what they are guarding is the peace and dignity of a generation; while the strategic layout of “Dynamic Diversified Asset Allocation System” that we have constructed is guarding your and my long-term wealth interests and the road to financial freedom.

Now, let's interpret important macro events and economic data with respect and a clear sense of strategy to gain early insight into potential wealth opportunities.

 

Macro events and potential wealth opportunities to focus on:

 

1. Chicago Fed President Austin Goulds said that due to the complexity of the trade policy outlook, the Federal Reserve may delay the path of interest rate cuts, a statement that may bring short-term bearish sentiment to the current investment market.

2. President Trump said the European Union requested an extension of tariff negotiations until July 9, which he agreed to, and said the conversation with the EU on tariffs was very pleasant,sending a signal that the negotiating atmosphere is easing, which could avoid the possibility of short-term friction escalation, and stabilizing the market sentiment, which is a positive expectation.

 

3. Japan's chief negotiator said he expects to reach an agreement on tariffs before the heads of state meet in June. This view is highly consistent with Finance Minister Bessert's attitude of reaching agreements with more countries, conveying rising expectations of easing trade tensions, which will be a medium-term force to support global risk assets.

4. President Trump signed an executive order on nuclear energy, aiming to accelerate the approval and construction process of nuclear power plants, an event that not only enhances the strategy of energy autonomy, but also signals a period of valuation reassessment for nuclear power-related companies.

 

5. On May 28, NVDA will announce its quarterly earnings report, which, as the “golden engine” of the AI chip track, will not only concern NVDA itself, but also affect the sentiment and valuation of the entire AI sector.

6. Elon Musk announced that he will fully restore Tesla's business center of gravity, this news is positive for investors, and at the same time, in June, TSLA will start the self-driving cab project in Austin, once successfully landed, it will open a new chapter of growth for Musk and his team. This news is good news for TSLA, so this week we will also focus on TSLA's opportunities.

Now let's focus on the key economic data:

 

1. First-quarter real GDP annualized quarterly revised value: refers to the first-quarter inflation-adjusted gross domestic product growth rate, calculated on an annualized basis, and based on more data to revise the latest value.

 

If the data is revised down, it indicates a slowdown in the economy, and the Fed may signal easing, which could have a positive impact on investment markets.

If the data is revised up, it indicates a stronger economy and the Fed may not cut rates immediately, which could have a negative impact on the investment market.

2. As of May 24, the weekly number of initial jobless claims

 

Initial jobless claims for the week refers to the number of people applying for unemployment benefits for the first time, it is a key indicator for assessing the health of the labor market and economic growth, and provides key data support for the Federal Reserve to adjust interest rate policy.

3. April PCE price index annual rate

 

PCE is the Personal Consumption Expenditures price index, residents in the consumer spending, pay the price change of goods and services.

 

It is an important economic indicator to measure the level of inflation, directly related to the Federal Reserve's monetary policy decisions.

Dear friends, today, this time of honor and reflection has come to a successful end, and I thank you for your company and listening.

 

At this moment, let us remember history with the power of silence, not forgetting those heroes who pushed forward the development of the times and bravely sacrificed their lives;

Let us find order in fluctuations with rational strategic decisions and layout the future in the logic of the trend;

Let us work hand in hand and sail to the compounding channel that really belongs to us under the guidance of the system and consensus.

 


Tomorrow, we will continue to upgrade and improve the strategic layout of the “Dynamic Diversified Asset Allocation System” to accelerate the accumulation of wealth and turn the dream of wealth freedom into a reality within reach as soon as possible.

See you tomorrow!
