Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin confirmed on social media on October 22 that the Moscow region had come under a massive attack involving around 630 drones from the evening of October 21 into the early hours of October 22. Air defense systems intercepted most of the targets at long range and shot down 163 as they approached the city. The attack injured two people in New Moscow. This was an unusually large-scale direct air raid on the Russian capital in recent times, and search-and-rescue and emergency response teams are still at the scene clearing debris. As a significant sign of an escalation in the conflict, the capital’s central areas have come under direct threat from a large-scale air raid, sharply heightening geopolitical tensions. Markets had generally expected the situation to remain at a stalemate, but this direct strike, whose intensity exceeded expectations, has again heightened concerns about global supply chains and energy security. Geopolitical risk premiums may be priced back into asset valuation models in the short term. Driven by this risk-averse sentiment, commodities such as crude oil and gold may attract some buying support in the short term. Meanwhile, the safe-haven appeal of the U.S. Dollar Index may reassert itself, while global equities could face volatility from profit-taking and defensive portfolio rebalancing. Traditional safe-haven investors often remain on the sidelines until the situation becomes clearer. For crypto markets, liquidity often tightens first when sudden geopolitical events occur, and some leveraged investors may choose to exit and wait on the sidelines to avoid tail risks. However, if turbulence in traditional markets intensifies, whether $BTC , with its censorship-resistant properties, will once again be viewed by some investors as a non-sovereign reserve asset remains a key point of contention. In the short term, prices may continue to fluctuate within a wide range.🕊️ #Geopolitics #CryptoMarket #GlobalMacro

According to the latest macroeconomic data officially released today by Stats NZ, New Zealand’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) showed a sharper-than-expected slowdown in the third quarter. The data showed that annual CPI inflation came in at 3.7%, well below the market consensus of 3.8% and down sharply from 4.10% in the previous quarter. Quarterly CPI inflation was just 0.7%, below the forecast of 0.8% and a steep drop from the previous reading of 1.50%, signaling that inflationary pressures are easing at an accelerating pace. From a macroeconomic and quantitative analysis perspective, this across-the-board downside surprise carries significant policy implications, confirming that inflation has entered a firmly established technical downtrend. The faster decline in prices has not only allayed concerns about persistent inflation, but also substantially widened the scope for positive real interest rates. This provides the Reserve Bank of New Zealand with solid data support and room to accelerate rate cuts and shift fully toward an accommodative monetary policy at its upcoming policy meetings. In financial markets, the cooler-than-expected inflation reading quickly reshaped technical dynamics in the foreign exchange and bond markets. The New Zealand dollar fell in the short term, testing key support levels, while benchmark government bond yields in several countries also declined. The drop in both nominal interest rates and bond yields directly lowered returns on global risk-free assets, significantly improving liquidity across financial markets and effectively reviving bullish momentum in global risk assets. For the cryptocurrency market, major central banks around the world entering an easing cycle is a key catalyst for expanding risk appetite, while confirmation that macro liquidity has bottomed is providing strong support for digital assets. As crypto assets such as $BTC consolidate holdings in key technical support zones, the liquidity spillover from cooling inflation is expected to continue attracting new capital into the market. With easing expectations reinforcing one another, overall crypto market valuations could be poised for a fresh upward breakout. #InflationData #GlobalMacro #CryptoLiquidity

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent commented on Tuesday on recent turbulence in European sovereign debt markets, saying he did not expect sharp volatility in the French government bond market to spill over into other markets. A widening fiscal deficit and escalating protests in France have recently sent French bond yields soaring, rapidly intensifying concerns about the sustainability of the country’s sovereign debt. Although Bessent expressed confidence in the French economic team’s ability to rein in the fiscal deficit, it is undeniable that France’s sovereign debt position has weakened noticeably relative to other major economies. Rising sovereign credit risk has deepened divisions over fiscal integration across Europe, exposing the vulnerability of high-deficit countries during a period of fiscal tightening. In terms of macroeconomic capital flows, localized debt crises in Europe are reinforcing risk aversion. Bessent also confirmed that some concerned investors are moving funds into U.S. Treasuries for shelter. Increased safe-haven demand for Treasuries has, to some extent, boosted demand for dollar liquidity, putting pressure on non-U.S. sovereign assets and high-valuation risk assets worldwide. For crypto assets, spillovers from European debt risks tend to coincide with liquidity contraction rather than expansion. Against a backdrop of rising macroeconomic uncertainty and a stronger safe-haven appeal for the dollar, risk assets such as $BTC lack incremental liquidity support in the short term. Investors should be alert to the risk of sovereign credit concerns spreading and triggering forced selling of decentralized assets. 📉 #SovereignDebt #TreasuryYields #GlobalMacro

During Monday’s European trading session, French government bonds came under heavy selling pressure following the severe political turmoil that erupted over the weekend. According to LSEG data, the yield on French two-year government bonds surged by as much as 10 basis points intraday, widening the yield spread between French and German bonds once again. Facing the twin pressures of weak economic growth and massive public debt, this latest political turmoil has further exposed France’s fiscal vulnerability. Jim Reid, head of global macro research at Deutsche Bank, noted that the sudden developments have heightened investor concerns about the scale of France’s sovereign debt. The yield on French 10-year government bonds had already hit a high of 4.99% in early October. Now, a sharp increase in political uncertainty has significantly reduced international investors’ appetite for French debt. Markets are increasingly wary that this surge in yields could develop into a broader European sovereign debt crisis, particularly as the risk of spillovers to highly indebted countries such as Italy grows. Rising European bond yields are directly pushing up borrowing costs across the region and tightening global financial liquidity. Driven by risk aversion, liquid assets such as the U.S. dollar are gaining support once again, while richly valued risk assets face pressure to reprice. The combination of political and fiscal risks in Europe could leave the European Central Bank facing an even tougher policy dilemma, weighing on global risk appetite. With expectations for macroeconomic liquidity under pressure, crypto markets are unlikely to be immune. Rising investor risk aversion is making new capital increasingly cautious about entering the market, and major crypto assets such as $BTC may remain range-bound and defensive in the short term. If mounting pressure on Europe’s debt chain triggers a broader deleveraging cascade, highly volatile digital assets could face a temporary liquidity squeeze. #EuropeanDebt #GlobalMacro #CryptoMarket

The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) recently issued a formal statement saying that, due to the comprehensive maritime military blockade imposed by the U.S. Navy, Iran has now completely lost the ability to conduct any maritime import or export trade. The blockade marks an escalation in U.S.-Iran geopolitical confrontation beyond conventional sanctions, effectively cutting off a key logistics corridor linking Iran to global markets. This sudden development has sharply heightened military tensions around the Persian Gulf to levels not seen in recent years. From a macroeconomic fundamentals perspective, completely severing the country's maritime trade routes significantly exceeds the mild expectations previously held by capital markets that regional tensions would remain within a manageable range. The Strait of Hormuz and surrounding waters carry a very large share of global crude oil shipments and commercial trade. A blockade could easily provoke reciprocal retaliation targeting civilian vessels or strategic waterways. This would undoubtedly drive up shipping insurance and security costs for global energy trade, posing a severe test for the fragile recovery of supply chains. In traditional financial markets, the event will directly prompt a reassessment of supply premiums in global commodity markets and significantly push up the prices of crude oil and other essential raw materials. Rising energy prices will inevitably intensify the persistence of a rebound in core inflation across major economies, further narrowing central banks' room for monetary easing. With inflation expectations rising and risk aversion spreading, U.S. Treasury yields and the U.S. Dollar Index may remain volatile at elevated levels, putting sustained pressure on the valuations of global equities. For cryptocurrency markets, the safe-haven appeal sparked by geopolitical tensions often proves insufficient in the short term to offset the downward pressure from tighter liquidity and declining risk appetite. During a defensive phase marked by sharply rising macroeconomic uncertainty, cross-asset allocation funds typically pull out of high-beta, volatile assets first to preserve cash flow. Investors should be highly alert to the risk of short-term deleveraging volatility and valuation pullbacks in $BTC and crypto assets as a whole as safe-haven sentiment intensifies. #Geopolitics #EnergyMarket #GlobalMacro

Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda confirmed today that the central bank will continue raising interest rates as underlying inflation moves closer to its 2% target. He highlighted that overall financial conditions in Japan remain accommodative, warranting further policy adjustments. This explicit hawkish guidance signals that Japan's era of ultra-loose monetary policy is definitively ending. Ueda emphasized that geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, surging AI-driven demand, and ongoing yen volatility are key factors dictating the exact timing of upcoming rate hikes. A stronger yen and shrinking interest rate differentials threaten to accelerate the unwinding of the global yen carry trade. This dynamic typically pressures international equity valuations and elevates volatility across sovereign bond and foreign exchange markets. For digital assets, tightening liquidity from the world's major creditor nation often triggers temporary risk-off behavior. While $BTC and the broader crypto market may face short-term turbulence during carry-trade realignments, sustained macroeconomic clarity will eventually restore structural momentum. 🇯🇵 #BOJ #InterestRates #GlobalMacro

According to the latest reports from multiple media outlets, including Interfax and TASS, the Russian military recently attacked two cargo ships off the coast of Odesa, Ukraine. The Russian Ministry of Defense also confirmed that its forces struck Izmail, a key port in southern Ukraine. This series of military operations marks a renewed escalation in the conflict affecting shipping infrastructure in the Black Sea and along the Danube. The Black Sea and surrounding ports have long been crucial hubs for global grain and bulk commodity transport. Direct attacks on cargo ships and port facilities have not only shattered the fragile balance of maritime security but also sharply increased the risk of logistical disruptions in the region. These developments have upended market expectations of easing geopolitical tensions, reviving inflationary pressure across global supply chains. The escalation of the geopolitical crisis has quickly fueled risk aversion. Commodity markets—particularly crude oil and agricultural products—face the prospect of a supply-risk premium, while the U.S. Dollar Index and sovereign safe-haven assets have gained short-term buying support. By contrast, risk appetite across asset classes has come under significant pressure, leaving equity markets facing the real prospect of capital outflows and rising volatility. For crypto assets such as $BTC , the combination of tightening liquidity and geopolitical risk in the macro environment often means that their high-risk nature leads to defensive outflows in the early stages. If geopolitical tensions continue to escalate and drive up inflation expectations, crypto markets may face an even more severe liquidity test and a prolonged consolidation. ⚠️ #Geopolitics #GlobalMacro #CryptoMarket

The Bank of Japan released its Corporate Goods Price Index on Tuesday, showing Japanese wholesale prices surged 6.8% year-on-year through September. Simultaneously, import prices denominated in yen jumped 24.5%, signaling persistent upstream cost pressures from currency weakness. While the 6.8% print slowed slightly from August's 7.6% and missed expectations, sustained cost pass-through keeps pressure on the central bank to tighten policy. Markets are increasingly pricing in an upcoming interest rate hike as imported inflation refuses to cool. This hawkish outlook weighed heavily on regional risk assets, dragging South Korea's KOSPI index down by 4.00% during intraday trading. A stronger yen trajectory typically triggers carry-trade unwinds, reducing global liquidity across equities and sovereign bonds. For digital assets, tight monetary signals from Asia could suppress risk-on momentum and elevate near-term volatility. $BTC and broader altcoins may experience liquidity pullbacks if global rate differentials continue narrowing. #BankOfJapan #Inflation #GlobalMacro

Official data released Friday by Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs showed Tokyo's core CPI surged 2.7% year-on-year in September. This notably beat expectations of 2.3% and accelerated from August's 1.8%, driven by expiring utility subsidies and broad food price hikes. The unexpected jump in Tokyo inflation—a leading nationwide gauge—ramps up pressure on the Bank of Japan for further monetary tightening. After two rate hikes within three months, policymakers increasingly see underlying price pressures settling firmly above their 2% target. This development strengthens the yen and fuels further unwinding of the global yen carry trade. Rising Japanese yields alongside tighter domestic policy threaten to squeeze cross-border fiat liquidity across traditional equity and bond markets.

On October 1, Russian President Vladimir Putin publicly stated at the plenary session of the 23rd Valdai International Discussion Club that if the Baltic enclave of Kaliningrad or any other Russian territory were attacked, Moscow would consider using all weapons in its arsenal. In recent times, NATO has carried out frequent military drills targeting Kaliningrad; Russia has previously issued serious warnings of escalation in response to the threat of a blockade. This statement signals that the intensity of geopolitical confrontation has risen again. As a strategic foothold deeply embedded in Europe for Russia, Kaliningrad’s security situation directly touches the red lines of both NATO and Russia. With drills intertwined with nuclear deterrence rhetoric, the likelihood of strategic miscalculation and escalation of friction has been significantly amplified, leaving global supply chains and energy corridors facing deeper uncertainty. Against the backdrop of rising risk premiums for geopolitical conflict, traditional safe-haven assets are typically in greater demand. Commodities such as crude oil are susceptible to supply concerns that could push prices higher, while the safe-haven appeal of the US dollar and gold may become even more prominent. At the same time, bond yields’ volatility may intensify, and the room for valuation expansion in global risk assets will be materially constrained. For the crypto market, extreme geopolitical events often trigger short-term deleveraging as investors seek safety, resulting in liquidity being withdrawn from risk assets led by $BTC . During the stage when macro uncertainty continues to fester, investors should remain highly cautious and be alert to the risk of cascading spillovers to the crypto ecosystem if localized conflicts worsen.⚠️ #Geopolitics #GlobalMacro #CryptoRisk

Against the backdrop of the current geopolitical tensions resonating with Europe’s fiscal pressures, Russian President Vladimir Putin made a tough statement regarding the situation in Kaliningrad and the Black Sea. He warned that if the region were threatened, Russia would consider using all weapon capabilities at its disposal. Meanwhile, Russian forces have continued to carry out drone strikes targeting supply vessels in the Black Sea, bringing to the fore again the tail risk in Eastern Europe’s security situation. These remarks and military actions have significantly shattered expectations of a relatively balanced outcome in the previous round of geopolitical maneuvering. The market had been harboring a degree of wishful thinking that geopolitics might ease, but the renewed appearance of extreme rhetoric has directly dealt a blow to risk appetite in the heart of Europe. Combined with intensifying fiscal divisions within Europe, sovereign credit risk is being priced in rapidly, casting a shadow over the fragile regional macro environment. Rising risk-aversion sentiment has led to sharp divergence and volatility in Europe’s bond markets. The 10-year government bond yield spread between France and Germany widened abruptly by 14 basis points to 141 basis points. The 2-year spread between Italy and Germany also reached the largest widening since 2020. The demand for capital flight has substantially boosted the U.S. dollar and gold, while European assets face a dual squeeze—both capital outflows and rising sovereign risk premia. For the crypto market, the coexistence of tighter macro liquidity and geopolitical risk aversion is not a benign environment. In a situation where traditional sovereign bond markets are under pressure and risk sentiment is extremely fragile, risk assets such as $BTC are more likely to face liquidity pullbacks rather than be met by a risk-off buy-side response. Investors should be highly alert in the short term to the risk of liquidity stampedes and amplified volatility; defensive strategies remain the top choice for now.⚠️ #Geopolitics #EuropeanDebt #GlobalMacro

Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Philip Lowe signaled on Wednesday that four rate hikes this year should suffice to curb inflation, following a rate increase from 4.35% to 4.6%. Major funds like Schroders and Franklin Templeton quickly piled into 2- to 3-year Australian bonds, betting the tightening cycle has peaked. This shift underscores mounting economic headwinds that limit further policy tightening. With unemployment near 5-year highs and the housing market cooling, slowing momentum is forcing a less hawkish stance. Broader markets saw a strong rally in sovereign bonds and falling yields. As rate hike expectations fade, global fixed-income markets are beginning to price in eventual policy easing across major economies. For crypto, the prospect of peaking global interest rates provides macro relief.

Japan’s Ministry of Finance today completed the auction of 40-year ultra-long-term government bonds. The bid-to-cover ratio reached 3.1, well above the previous 2.82 and the 12-month average of 2.67, marking the highest level of demand since 2020. Drawn by a yield of 4.23%, Japanese government bond futures jumped higher immediately after the auction. This suggests that, in the absence of any clear rate-hike guidance from the Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda, buying pressure along the long end of the curve remains extremely strong. From both technical and macro perspectives, there has been strong demand for ultra-long-term government bonds, indicating that institutional funds are actively locking in excess returns. The market had previously worried that the Bank of Japan might delay its tightening steps, but long-bond yields staying in a historically high range provides an excellent margin of safety. This strong buyer follow-through effectively eases fears of bond-market selling. In traditional financial markets, long-end government bond yields stabilizing alongside gains in futures directly reduces the systemic tail risk of a sudden spike in global borrowing costs. The shock to yen liquidity has been calmed on the technical front, while the interest-rate differential structure between the U.S. dollar and major currencies remains stable, creating a relatively benign trading environment for overall macro liquidity. For risk assets such as cryptocurrencies, this is undoubtedly a positive signal. The pressure from a renewed, aggressive unwinding of yen carry trades has been temporarily relieved, global liquidity expectations have improved at the margin, and overall risk appetite has clearly rebounded. Core assets such as $BTC are expected to sustain the uptrend under liquidity support and test key resistance zones to the upside. #JapanBonds #BankOfJapan #GlobalMacro
Japan’s Ministry of Finance today completed the auction of 40-year ultra-long-term government bonds. The bid-to-cover ratio reached 3.1, well above the previous 2.82 and the 12-month average of 2.67, marking the highest level of demand since 2020. Drawn by a yield of 4.23%, Japanese government bond futures jumped higher immediately after the auction. This suggests that, in the absence of any clear rate-hike guidance from the Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda, buying pressure along the long end of the curve remains extremely strong.

U.S. President Donald Trump has recently rejected the latest proposal from Iran, but at the same time hinted that talks between the two sides may resume this week, adding further uncertainty to the situation in the Strait of Hormuz. On Monday, European benchmark natural gas futures prices edged up after falling by more than 9% last week, as the market closely monitors developments. This vital waterway handles roughly one-fifth of global liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipments. Europe is currently facing time pressure to replenish inventories before the heating season, and if disruptions to transport persist, global buyers are bound to compete fiercely. Uncertainty in the energy supply chain is being repriced. At the macro level, risks to energy supply are compounded by persistent concerns about inflation, driving global bond yields to a level not seen in more than two decades. Elevated yields have clearly weighed on equity valuations in traditional markets. The year-to-date gain of Europe’s STOXX 600 index has already fallen noticeably behind that of the S&P 500. For the crypto market, a tug-of-war is underway between risk-off sentiment in macro liquidity and renewed worries about inflation. $BTC and major assets are, in the short term, oscillating in step with commodities and expectations for liquidity. Investors are waiting for clearer directions brought by the resolution of negotiations. #Geopolitics #EnergyMarket #GlobalMacro

Iran’s Foreign Minister Alaghezi on September 27 made a firm statement that Tehran would not yield to the United States on the conditions set out. He stressed that reopening the Strait of Hormuz in full depends on whether Iran’s demands are met, while he is awaiting the final response from the intermediary. The Strait of Hormuz is the world’s most critical energy chokepoint, where most of the world’s crude oil is transshipped. This tough statement shatters hopes of cooling the recent diplomatic tensions, putting the oil supply chain into a state of red alert. The risk of a blockade of the strait could quickly send oil prices soaring, bringing global inflationary pressure back into play. Financial markets are likely to shift into a defensive mode, driving flows of safe-haven capital into the USD and gold. For the crypto market, macro risk-avoidance sentiment often creates short-term selling pressure on $BTC and altcoins. Investors should be especially cautious about sudden, choppy swings driven by geopolitical news in the coming sessions. #Geopolitics #OilMarket #GlobalMacro

In a recent high-level meeting held in New York, Donald Trump expressed concern to Japan’s prime minister about the continued weakening of the yen. Following that, Japan’s finance minister, Katsukage Ishikawa, confirmed this, stating that senior officials have officially taken note of the yen exchange rate being undervalued and will continue to maintain close communication with U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on foreign exchange issues. Currently, the USD/JPY pair is trading at elevated levels near the key psychological threshold of 160 after the long holiday. From a macro game theory perspective, this statement carries clear policy signaling implications. The contest around the historic resistance level of 160 for USD/JPY has entered a highly intensified stage. The shared attention from political circles in both the U.S. and Japan on a weak yen has significantly increased expectations that the Bank of Japan and the Ministry of Finance may take coordinated intervention, even tightening liquidity in advance. Meanwhile, the overly crowded trades that had previously bet one-sidedly on yen depreciation are now facing a turning-point window. For foreign exchange and global liquidity, if USD/JPY were to form a false breakout around 160 and then begin a technical mean-reversion, it would effectively curb the upside momentum of the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), thereby easing valuation pressure on major global assets. Non-U.S. currencies and commodities may see an upswing opportunity driven by marginal improvements in liquidity, as cross-border capital reprices risk assets. For crypto assets, especially $BTC , potential intervention on the exchange-rate front often marks a partial peak in the dollar-strength cycle. If the U.S. Dollar Index comes under pressure and moves lower as USD/JPY pulls back, global risk appetite is likely to recover rapidly, pushing incremental capital back into liquidity-sensitive sectors and providing strong technical and liquidity support for the crypto market to break through resistance levels.📊 #Forex #USDJPY #GlobalMacro #Liquidity

In Japan’s bond market, the 10-year Japanese government bond yield has recently jumped by 8 basis points, directly hitting 3.055%, the highest level since September 1996. As Japan’s benchmark government bond yield breaks this nearly three-decade high—after serving as a global benchmark for maintaining an ultra-loose, low-interest-rate environment—it has immediately sparked widespread discussion among global macro traders. The reason this matters is that the Bank of Japan’s pace of monetary policy normalization is profoundly affecting global capital pricing. For a long time, the Japanese yen has been one of the world’s largest funding sources for carry trades. As Japanese government bond yields continue to climb, the yen capital that previously flowed overseas into higher-yield assets is gradually gaining stronger incentives to return to Japan. This is colliding to some extent with the market’s earlier expectations of a smooth transition in liquidity. From a traditional financial market perspective, a significant move in Japanese bond yields is often transmitted to the U.S. Treasuries and global FX markets via exchange rates and sovereign bond spreads. Changes in the global risk-free rate center of gravity will not only directly affect the outlook for the U.S. dollar and the yen, but may also force a reassessment of asset valuations across markets, with risk-off assets and the volatility of commodities rising in tandem. For the cryptocurrency market, changes in the macro liquidity environment have long been one of the key variables. Potential unwinding pressure from yen carry trades could affect overall risk appetite. At the same time, volatility in the global fiat currency system keeps some investors focused on the defensive and hedging characteristics of decentralized assets such as $BTC . Against a backdrop where both bullish and bearish factors intertwine, overall liquidity remains cautious, and the subsequent trajectory still needs to be observed as global macro liquidity evolves further.🌊 #JapanYields #GlobalMacro #CryptoLiquidity

European Central Bank board member Kazimir recently shared his views on euro area inflation, noting that current inflation risks still lean upward, especially as natural gas and electricity prices are becoming key vulnerabilities. Meanwhile, Yemen's Houthi forces claimed to have carried out an attack on the Khamees Mushait air base in Saudi Arabia using dozens of ballistic missiles and drones, delivering precise strikes on facilities such as radar and ammunition depots. In addition, the UK’s 5-year government bond yield rose by 6 basis points on the day to 4.9709%, setting a fresh high since July 2008. With multiple strands of news intertwining, the macro backdrop is clearly not calm. Why are these developments worth looking at together? On one hand, the ECB has just delivered its second rate hike of the year. Markets were originally weighing whether tightening would continue further next year, and Kazimir’s remarks once again doused expectations of near-term rate cuts—particularly given the recurring inflation risks at the food and energy end. On the other hand, the escalation of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East directly feeds into nerves across commodity markets. If energy supply and transportation are disrupted, it would directly raise global imported inflation pressures, making it harder for central banks to pivot toward easing in the short term. In traditional financial markets, bond yields in Europe and the UK remain elevated, even hitting multi-year highs. This reflects that pricing for “higher for longer” is being reinforced. As geopolitical conflict intensifies on top of sticky inflation, it typically drives up volatility in safe-haven assets such as gold and oil. At the same time, the strength of the U.S. dollar and high-yield government bonds continues to limit the room for an expansion in global risk-asset liquidity. For the crypto market, persistently high macro funding costs imply that incremental over-the-counter liquidity remains cautious. $BTC and mainstream alternative coins may continue to be caught in a near-term tug-of-war between macro sentiment and native narratives. Geopolitical conflict could, in localized windows, spur some demand for hedging, but the objective fact that tight overall liquidity persists under a high-rate environment cannot be ignored. The market’s trajectory still needs to be watched from multiple angles. 🤔 #ECB #Geopolitics #GlobalMacro

Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) Chief Economist Francis Donald has recently issued an updated forecast regarding the future monetary policy path of the Bank of Canada. The bank expects that, despite ongoing uncertainty in U.S.-Canada trade, the Bank of Canada may hike interest rates four times next year, ultimately lifting the benchmark rate to 3.25%. This forecast has sparked widespread discussion in macro markets about whether the rate-hiking cycle in advanced economies will resume. The prediction is noteworthy because most major central banks around the world are currently in a rate-cutting cycle, yet RBC has offered a relatively hawkish outlook. The report notes that although Canada’s overall GDP growth rate for the current and next two years may be below 2%, slowing population growth means that per-capita economic performance is actually strengthening. Combined with sustained momentum from resource-rich western provinces and inflation pressure driven by rising energy prices, there is a realistic basis for the central bank to tighten policy. It also does not rule out the possibility of bringing the first rate hike forward to the end of 2026. For traditional financial markets, if advanced economies diverge in their monetary policy trajectories, global capital flows and the FX market may face repricing. The Canadian dollar could be supported by rate-expectation dynamics, while higher bond yields may lift overall borrowing costs, introducing new variables for capital liquidity flows in the North American region. In the crypto market, investors currently mainly anchor to expectations for Federal Reserve liquidity. However, if major overseas central banks shift to rate hikes earlier than expected in response to energy-driven inflation, the pace of global liquidity easing could slow, which may keep risk assets trading in a range as investors weigh liquidity expectations. Going forward, the market will still need to closely monitor real economic data and inflation performance. $BTC #BankOfCanada #InterestRates #GlobalMacro
