Policy shifts can sometimes trigger a brief market rebound before reality sets in. But here's the thing—elevated interest rates have fundamentally changed how corporate leaders think. CFOs have pivoted hard from "steady as she goes" growth strategies to full-on defensive positioning. The brakes are being hit across the board.

According to research, this wave of policy rebound is indeed a smokescreen. Data shows that the key is the shift in CFOs' mindset—from growth-oriented to defensive stance—which fundamentally reflects a profound reshaping of capital allocation decisions driven by the interest rate environment. It is worth noting that the durability of this defensive positioning far exceeds market expectations, and it may face deeper structural adjustments in the future.

CFOs are really starting to pull back. This wave isn't just about policy signals; once interest rates get stuck, there's no turning back. Anyway, I've had enough of those "steady growth" nonsense.

CFOs are really scared now, just thinking about how to survive and get through this tough time... No one dares to talk about growth anymore.

Hmm, this wave is indeed just a policy smoke screen. After a two-day rebound, it’s time to face the music. Once interest rates go up, CFOs all become timid, transforming from growth maniacs to penny-pinchers. Now the entire market is hitting the brakes.
