4E: The Federal Reserve is expected to continue cutting interest rates this week, the "Trump trade" is reversing, and election uncertainty is increasing

ChainCatcher news: The October non-farm data in the U.S. was far below expectations. Excluding the data distortions caused by two hurricanes and the Boeing strike, the labor market is gradually cooling down. Meanwhile, with the U.S. election results imminent, Trump's chances unexpectedly weakened, reversing the "Trump trade" and adding more uncertainty to the election.According to 4E monitoring, major tech giants released their earnings reports last week. On Friday, despite disappointing earnings from Apple, the weak October non-farm data boosted expectations for interest rate cuts. Coupled with positive earnings from Amazon and Intel, this lifted optimistic sentiment in tech stocks, with the Nasdaq rising 0.8%. However, looking at the week as a whole, U.S. stocks fell across the board, with the Nasdaq ending a seven-week rising trend, down 1.5% for the week, the S&P down 1.4%, and the Dow down 0.2%. The crypto market was affected by the weakening "Trump trade," and after approaching historical highs at the end of the month, risk aversion increased.

The British pound was the only non-U.S. currency to rise, recovering from the previous two days' sell-off due to the budget proposal, but it has fallen for five consecutive weeks, marking the longest streak in six years. Spot gold saw a slight surge after the non-farm data on Friday, but as the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields remained strong, it subsequently fell back, ultimately closing down 0.32%, marking the largest weekly decline since August. Due to Iran's relatively restrained retaliation against Israel, U.S. crude oil production reached a new high, and combined with weak economic data such as non-farm payrolls raising demand concerns, international crude oil prices fell from high levels last Friday, with a cumulative drop of over 3% for the week.This week is set to be historic, as the U.S. election will commence final voting on November 5 (Tuesday), with results expected to be largely finalized by noon on the 6th Beijing time. Currently, the election situation is tense, with polls in swing states constantly flipping. The latest polls show no significant advantage between Trump and Harris, leading some investors to take profits on Trump-oriented positions, especially those related to Trump's policies and improvements in public opinion polls. The overall market sentiment is cautious, with increased uncertainty. eeee.com is a financial trading platform supporting assets such as cryptocurrencies, stock indices, precious metals, and forex, recently launching a USDT stablecoin wealth management product with an annualized yield of 5.5%, providing investors with potential hedging options. 4E reminds you to pay attention to market volatility risks and to allocate assets wisely.

The demand for safe-haven assets ahead of the U.S. presidential election has driven gold prices to rise for four consecutive months, continuously hitting new highs, with spot gold having a cumulative rise of about 4.2% in October.Latest data shows that the U.S. PCE inflation in September increased by 2.1% year-on-year, in line with expectations.

Currently, the market generally expects that the number of new non-farm jobs in October will significantly slow down due to temporary unemployment caused by hurricanes and strikes. It is worth mentioning that when the employment report is released this Friday, there will only be four days left until the U.S. presidential election. If the data is extremely weak, it may affect the election and increase market volatility. eeee.com is a financial trading platform that supports assets such as cryptocurrencies, stock indices, commodities like gold, and foreign exchange.

As of the time of publication, Bitcoin was at $72,245, down 0.23%, while Ethereum was at $2,652, up 0.71%.In the forex market, the U.S. dollar index briefly rose to an intraday high of 104.44 but then turned lower, ultimately closing down 0.17%. This was due to the market lowering expectations for a significant interest rate cut by the European Central Bank in December, with the euro rebounding against the dollar, closing up 0.35%. The uncertainty surrounding the U.S. election and geopolitical instability led the market to favor defensive positions like gold, which continued to receive support, with spot gold hitting a new historical high on Wednesday, ultimately closing up 0.43%. The unexpected decline in U.S. EIA crude oil inventories, along with reports that OPEC+ may delay its oil production increase plan, led to a rise in international oil prices on Wednesday, with WTI crude ultimately closing up 2.31% and Brent crude up 2.3%.The latest data shows that U.S. economic growth unexpectedly declined, with inflation and consumption higher than expected. A more comprehensive and closely watched non-farm payroll report for October will be released on Friday, with most in the market expecting that the Federal Reserve's pace of interest rate cuts will not change, continuing to cut by 25 basis points at the meeting on November 7-8. Meanwhile, the U.S. election is also entering a heated stage, with the latest polls showing voters leaning towards giving Trump better marks on economic issues. Global investors are also betting that Trump will win in next week's U.S. election, but regardless of the outcome, the market is expected to experience greater volatility as election day approaches. eeee.com is a financial trading platform that supports assets such as cryptocurrencies, stock indices, commodities like gold, and forex, recently launching a USDT stablecoin financial product with an annualized return of 5.5%, providing investors with potential hedging options. 4E reminds you to pay attention to market volatility risks and to allocate assets wisely.

4E: Series data strongly supports the expectation of a "soft landing" for the U.S. economy, and market risk appetite is rising

ChainCatcher News: The U.S. Department of Commerce announced yesterday that September retail sales exceeded expectations with a month-on-month increase of 0.4%, highlighting the resilience of U.S. consumer spending, which continues to provide strong momentum for the U.S. economy. A series of robust economic data recently has reinforced market expectations for only a 25 basis point rate cut.According to 4E monitoring, after the data release, U.S. stocks opened higher but then fell, with the S&P reaching a new intraday high before turning down, and the Nasdaq also nearly erasing its early gains. However, the Dow Jones reached new intraday and closing highs, marking two consecutive days of gains. By the close, the S&P 500 was down 0.02%, the Nasdaq was up 0.04%, and the Dow was up 0.37%. The cryptocurrency market followed U.S. stocks with slight fluctuations; at the time of writing, Bitcoin was at 67,972, up 0.8%, and Ethereum was at 2,632, up 0.43%.In the forex and commodities sector, positive economic data pushed the U.S. dollar index to an 11-week high, rebounding 3.34% since October. The European Central Bank is expected to cut rates on Thursday, causing the euro to decline for four consecutive days to an 11-week low. Last week, U.S. EIA crude oil inventories unexpectedly decreased, indicating strong demand, which led to a rise of about 0.40% in international oil prices, halting a four-day decline and moving away from two-week lows. Spot gold benefited from uncertainties surrounding the U.S. elections and expectations of more monetary policy easing, approaching 2,700 dollars, setting a new historical high, with an increase of over 30% this year.Recent data shows that retail sales continue to grow, with better-than-expected non-farm payroll data, a stronger-than-expected unemployment rate, and a recent cooling trend in initial jobless claims. Coupled with the steady decline in U.S. inflation and the upward revision of long-term GDP growth rates beyond expectations, this provides strong support for the "soft landing" logic of the U.S. economy. Meanwhile, a new round of global rate cuts is accelerating, significantly improving financial market sentiment and generally increasing investors' risk appetite. eeee.com is a financial trading platform that supports assets such as cryptocurrencies, stock indices, commodities like gold, and forex.
