🚨 BREAKING: 🇺🇸 FED CHAIR POWELL IS STILL SCHEDULED TO GIVE A "BIG" SPEECH DESPITE SHUTDOWN TOMORROW

Markets don’t fear the speech, they fear the signal behind it.

Powell speaking during a shutdown means messaging matters more than policy.

Will he calm markets or test their conviction again?

EXPECT HIGH VOLATILITY!

Someone launched a coin and spent seven hours buying it from… themselves. Waited for others to join, nobody did, then rage-sold it all.

I wonder what that was. A tragic little DeFi drama, or a noble act saving the world from one more shitcoin?

US leading economic indicators are still deteriorating:

The ratio of US leading to coincident economic indicators is down to 0.85, the lowest level since 2008.

This ratio has now declined for 4 consecutive years.

The Conference Board Leading Economic Index (LEI) tracks forward-looking data, including consumer expectations, manufacturing orders, weekly hours, and initial jobless claims.

Meanwhile, the Coincident Economic Index (CEI) measures current economic conditions in real time, such as nonfarm payrolls.

Historically, in every case where this ratio has declined as sharply as it has now, the US economy was in a recession.

Non-asset owners are struggling.

📉 Core PCE Data Released… Inflation Cools Down a Little!

The Core PCE — the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge — came in as follows:

• 2.8% year-on-year vs. 2.9% forecast

• 0.2% month-on-month — exactly in line with estimates

⚡️ Not a huge surprise, but it maintains the trend of slowing inflation
and gives high-risk assets like crypto and stocks some breathing room.

The overall trend: Inflation is easing… and pressure on the Fed is gradually lessening.

REMINDER:

🇺🇸 FED IS PUMPING MONEY INTO THE BANKING SYSTEM!

We are seeing historic market gains:

The S&P 500 has gained +68% over the last 36 months, the best 3-year performance since 2021.

This is also the 2nd-strongest run since the 2000 Dot-Com Bubble, even surpassing the recovery following the 2008 Financial Crisis.

The last time the market was this was was in the 1990s, when the S&P 500 delivered a +120% gain over a 3-year span.

This marks the 16th time since 1930 that the 3-year rolling return has been +1.5 standard deviations above its long-term average.

All while the market has not experienced a negative 36-month return in 13 years.

Bullish momentum is incredibly strong.

Bitcoin stabilizes first, but risk rotation always follows.

→ ETH/BTC bottoms right at the yuan bottom.

→ Then ETH enters its strongest outperformance phase of the entire cycle.

🔴Multiple sources are now circulating rumours that the Bank of Japan is expected to raise interest rates in December, potentially bringing them to the highest level in 30 years.

According to these reports, the BOJ is likely to hike rates by 25 basis points to 0.75% at its 19 December meeting – the highest level since 1995. Recent comments from Governor Ueda have led markets to price in roughly a 90% probability that the decision to hike is effectively “sealed”, especially as the economic outlook has improved on the back of strong corporate profits and expectations of wage growth.

The BOJ still describes this as a move away from ultra-easy policy rather than outright tightening, but signals it could continue raising rates if incoming data supports it. This scenario is putting upward pressure on the yen, as markets are seen as not fully pricing in the next phase of the BOJ’s rate-hike cycle.

A statement from Kevin Hassett is shaking the markets.

The leading candidate for the Federal Reserve chairmanship hints that an interest rate cut could happen next week… and market expectations are already pricing in a 90% probability of a 25-basis-point cut!

Because any move towards easing monetary policy means one thing:

🔺 US stocks: Stronger upward momentum

BREAKING: AMD, $AMD, CEO Lisa Su announces that the company will pay a 15% tax on MI308 chip exports to China.

Last night, reports emerged that President Trump is considering allowing Nvidia to sell their H200 chip to China.

This is beginning to sound a lot like the Nvidia and AMD deal with President Trump which was rumored on August 10th.

Under the August 10th rumored deal, Nvidia and AMD could export certain AI chips to China for a 15% tariff.

If the US AI chip market even partially reopens to China, it could be the market's biggest catalyst of the year.

Especially as Nvidia has almost entirely written off their China business in recent guidance.

AI chip policy could change very soon.

Central banks are ramping up gold purchases:

Global central banks purchased +53 tonnes of gold in October, the most since November 2024.

This marks a +194% jump compared to July, and the 3rd-straight monthly acceleration.

In the first 10 months of the year, central banks have purchased 254 tonnes of gold, on track for the 4th-highest annual purchase this century.

The surge was led by the National Bank of Poland, which re-entered the market in October, buying 16 tonnes of gold.

This pushed its reserves to a record 531 tonnes, or ~26% of their total FX reserves.

Official central bank gold demand is historically high.
