π΅ The US dollar retreats as the Fed keeps interest rates unchanged but offers little indication of a December hike. Lower Treasury yields and concerns over Middle East tensions add further pressure, while elevated oil prices keep inflation risks in focus.
π The S&P 500 posts three consecutive days of gains as strong corporate earnings and IPO optimism support markets. Microsoft and Oracle impress investors, but disappointing Alphabet results wipe $300 billion from its market capitalisation. Meanwhile, SpaceX and Anthropic prepare for potentially record-breaking IPOs.
πͺ Gold resumes its decline as technology stocks come under pressure and weakness in Asian markets weighs on the precious metal. Its correlation with equities is increasing, with investors using gold to meet margin requirements. However, $4,000 remains a key support level, with a potential rebound depending on the Fedβs next moves.
βΏ Bitcoin strengthens its correlation with the Nasdaq Composite, reaching its highest level since May. Disappointing mega-cap earnings and elevated oil prices weigh on sentiment, pushing BTC towards the lower end of its $79,000β87,000 trading range. Meanwhile, prediction markets see just a 16% chance of Bitcoin returning to $100,000 by year-end.
π Next week, traders will focus on European inflation, US business activity and labour market data, alongside highly anticipated rate decisions from the Reserve Bank of Australia and Bank of England. Investors will also be watching the US mid-term elections and developments in the Middle East.
