Bitget CFD Chief Analyst: Waller’s hawkish remarks boost expectations of ‘higher rates to stay for longer,’ making the dollar and Treasury yields key
According to Foresight News, Bitget CFD Chief Analyst Lewis Huang said that the hawkish remarks from Waller at the Jackson Hole Global Central Banks Conference have shifted market focus from whether there will be a rate hike in September to the possibility that the Federal Reserve may keep interest rates high for longer until inflation is clearly back below the 2% target, and may even retain the option for further tightening. Lewis Huang noted that if subsequent CPI, PCE, and employment data continue to come in stronger, U.S. 2-year Treasury yields and the U.S. dollar index may remain strong, putting gold under dual pressure from rising real interest rates and a stronger dollar. Meanwhile, volatility in richly valued tech stocks such as the Nasdaq 100 may also be amplified. Conversely, if inflation clearly cools and the labor market weakens, markets may scale back expectations for rate hikes, driving a pullback in the dollar and Treasury yields—providing support for gold and growth-oriented stock indexes.
NeoTrade Trading Skill Builder Launched Under NeoSoul, Supports Creating a Trading Strategy in One Sentence
Foresight News: NeoSoul’s general-agent trading workspace NeoTrade, under the BSC and 0G ecosystem AI economic infrastructure project, has launched the Skill Builder for trading.

It will automatically configure and validate strategy parameters such as the time period, which market to watch, position settings, and order placement methods. After the strategy is completed, the system will automatically perform parameter validation, and the generated Skill can be saved and reused. In the past, traders had to turn trading ideas into strategies that Agents could continuously execute. This usually required writing trading logic and setting parameters one by one. Skill Builder consolidates this entire process into the chat window. Users can describe the core trading idea in a single sentence, then refine the strategy step by step through continuous conversation.
