Manufacturing Industry Business Climate Index(ISM PMI) latest released, has fallen to a 14-month low—47.9.

The signal behind this number is very clear: the US economy is still in the contraction zone. What does this mean for us traders? The true rebound of risk assets requires the ISM to break through the 50 threshold. As long as it remains below 50, the overall market risk appetite has not truly warmed up.

In simple terms, relying on a few positive news is not enough; we need to see real improvement in manufacturing data before risk assets can experience a substantial upward trend. At this position, caution is still the best approach.

47.9, this number is definitely a signal of a bear market. --- Waiting for ISM to break above 50 again—when will these days end? --- All the positive news are just tricks; data is the real king. It's better to hold onto cash for now. --- Manufacturing is so weak, no wonder risk assets haven't reacted. That makes sense. --- I won't move anything before breaking 50; stay cautious. --- A 14-month low is no joke; this time, we need to be more careful. --- Looking at this trend, short-term rebounds are unlikely. Better to stay on the sidelines. --- There are many so-called good news stories, but the data keeps hitting back. It's too real. --- ISM is still hovering below 50; better to keep it in the hard drive for now.

47.9, this number just looks uncomfortable. Do we have to wait until 50 to turn things around? Then we might have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse. --- Manufacturing is still contracting. Why can risk assets rise... I really don't understand this logic. --- Alright, it's "caution is the best policy" again. I'm tired of hearing that. Let's wait for the data to speak. --- The 50 mark is stuck tightly; it feels like it won't break through in a couple of months. --- Good news is just floating clouds; real data is what matters. If the ISM doesn't move, no matter how many buy signals we get, it's useless. --- 14 months at a new low... My position is trembling. --- I'm just worried this thing might continue to go down; we might have to wait even longer for 50.

47.9, hitting a new low again, this is the real truth --- 50 still seems far away, short-term rebounds are all fake --- Manufacturing is still lying flat, why would I dare to buy the dip --- I'll talk again when ISM breaks above 50, right now it's all just hype --- So, these good news can't scare me at all --- The US economy can't break out of the contraction zone, it's uncomfortable --- Risk appetite hasn't warmed up yet, and someone is rushing in, really daring --- 14-month low, indicating the problem has been ongoing for more than a day or two --- Data isn't improving, buying now is just taking on the risk --- In this situation, I choose to wait and see, isn't that appealing?

47.9 this number is a bit painful, it feels like this rebound hasn't reached the point yet --- 50 is the watershed; now the paper gains are all false --- Manufacturing is still in the ice cellar, no wonder my positions are so uncomfortable --- Rely on news hype? Give me a break, we still need to wait for the data to speak --- Still holding, feeling exhausted --- If ISM is only above 50, the risk assets wouldn't die, now those who buy in are just bagholders --- Be cautious and sail forever; I choose to withdraw --- This rhythm... When will it really take off?

47.9 is really amazing. Looks like we'll have to wait even longer this time. --- We need to wait until it breaks through 50. For now, let's stay on the sidelines. --- With manufacturing so sluggish, hoping for any good news is just wishful thinking. --- Hey, when will this data rebound? It feels like it's going to be a long, long time. --- Better be careful. Those currently buying the dip are all gambling with their money. --- Below 50 is hell mode. There's nothing more to say. --- It seems the market still needs to fall further before stabilizing.
