"I think the rate cut by the Fed is a little bit late and the market is expecting more," he said. "I think today the rebound⁴ is just mainly due to short covering and not due to genuine buying. I think investors still have to see if the market can stabilize⁵ at the current level."

他说：“我认为这次美联储的降息决定有点儿太晚，而且低于金融市场的期望。我认为今天的反弹主要是股票抛空后的短暂补仓，并非是真正的买进。我想投资者还在观望，看看股市能否持稳在目前的水平。”
