๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ U.S. Stocks
โ–ช๏ธ U.S. stock futures showed little change ahead of the market open. Major banks (JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, etc.) officially kick off a new earnings season this week, with markets focused on credit demand and guidance on the interest rate outlook.
โ–ช๏ธ Amazon is reportedly in talks to acquire AI startup Decart; Bridgewater founder Dalio publicly warned of the risk of an AI bubble. Combined with SpaceX seeking $40 billion in debt financing, sentiment in the AI sector has become divided.

๐Ÿฅ‡ Gold & Commodities
โ–ช๏ธ Spot gold edged down to $4,193 per ounce at Mondayโ€™s open. The Middle East conflict has pushed up the U.S. Dollar Index, putting short-term pressure on gold prices, while silver also weakened.

๐Ÿ”— Implications for BTC
September CPI and the Fedโ€™s interest rate decision remain the key variables this week ๐Ÿ“Š. FedWatch shows the probability of no change in October rising to 84%, while the probability of a rate hike has fallen to 17%. Marginally looser liquidity expectations are somewhat positive for risk assets. On the regulatory front, two opposing signals have emerged: Russiaโ€™s Moscow Exchange plans to launch regulated crypto trading on December 1, indicating that traditional financial institutions are continuing to accelerate their entry into the market; meanwhile, a proposed requirement under the EU MiCA review for developers of non-custodial BTC wallets to obtain certification suggests regulatory uncertainty is still mounting. On-chain, events such as some Aave positions facing liquidation and reports of a hardware vulnerability implanted in Ledger Stax have also introduced localized risks. In the short term, $BTC ; closely monitor geopolitical spillovers and changes in ETF fund flows. #TradFi Daily
