OPEC decided to delay this weekend’s meeting to next week because talks between Saudi and African members apparently ran into trouble. The barrel of American crude on speculation that the Saudi may reverse its supply cut, instead of doubling it, at a time global slowdown worries outweigh supply cut efforts.
In the FX, the US dollar index rebounded yesterday on the back of some data points that cooled down the Fed doves’ enthusiasm – one of them being higher inflation expectations for next year. But disinflation will be on the menu of this year.
In all cases, Thanksgiving is one...

The US bonds extended their rally after a relatively strong US 20-year bond auction. Stocks rallied. Microsoft and Nvidia hit a fresh record.
Today, expect the Federal Reserve (Fed) minutes to be much less exciting for bond traders. The Fed minutes will come as a reminder that the falling long-term yields were a major reason why the Fed decided to keep rates steady at the latest meeting. Tanking yields mean that the Fed must stay alert.
In individual new, Nvidia is due to release earnings after today’s closing bell. The company will attempt to beat its own prediction of $16bn...

A slower-than-anticipated inflation rate in the US, coupled with politicians averting a government shutdown extended the US stocks and bond rally last week.
US stock optimism extends globally, with the European Stoxx testing the 200-DMA resistance and the Japanese Nikkei reaching a 33-year high. Japan's supportive central bank, a cheap yen, and strong company earnings contribute to investor interest.
This week, attention shifts to the US 20-year bond auction, the Federal Reserve (Fed) minutes and Nvidia earnings.
In energy, US crude recovers as speculation that OPEC could extend production cuts throws a floor under the recent selloff. The next OPEC...

This week could hardly be better in terms of economic, political, and geopolitical news. The US inflation slowed more than expected, the US politicians inked a short-term deal to avert a shutdown. On top, the US retail sales fell last month, but fell less than expected, the initial jobless claims rose, and the US unemployment benefits reached the highest level in almost two years, factory production fell more than expected and homebuilder sentiment fell to the lowest level for the year.
US yields continued to fall, the major stock indices consolidated gains, but small stocks and Chinese stocks sold off....

Yesterday was about digesting Tuesday’s softer-than-expected US CPI data, feeling relieved that the US Senate passed a stopgap spending bill to avert a government shutdown and welcoming a softer-than-expected producer price inflation, and a softer-than-expected decline in US retail sales – which came to support the idea that, yes, the US economy is probably slowing but it is slowing slowly, while inflation is easing at a satisfactory pace.
The S&P500 jumped more than 10% since end of October, the rate-sensitive Nasdaq 100 is now flirting with the highest levels since summer while the Russell 2000 index rallied almost 12% in...

The entire world is looking at the Bitcoin and Ethereum Spot ETF for approval, but there might be a new contender on the block - an XRP ETF. Or is it all just fake?

The Federal Reserve (Fed) doves got a big energy boost yesterday by a slightly lower-than-expected inflation report. The US stocks and bonds rallied, and the US dollar took a severe hit. Good news came from Britain this morning, as well. Inflation in the UK fell more than penciled in by analysts.
All in all, there is growing evidence that the major central banks’ efforts are bearing fruit.
Moving forward, yesterday’s rush to open fresh long US Treasury positions was likely intensified by a hurry to cover short positions. We shall see a correction in the US yields, as the Fed...

Investors are on the edge of their seats, waiting for the latest scoop on US inflation data to take a fresh direction in both stock and bond markets. According to the consensus of analysts’ estimates on a Bloomberg survey, the US inflation may have slowed to 3.3% last month, from 3.7% printed a month earlier. Core inflation is seen unchanged at 4.1%. An uptick in health insurance costs could give a slight boost to October inflation figures, while the latest US consumer survey, released last Friday, showed that the US consumers expect inflation to climb at an annual rate of...

What everyone – most investors, every household and every politician want to see and to sense right now is the end of the global monetary policy tightening cycle, and the beginning of the end starts mostly with the Federal Reserve (Fed). And the uncertainty regarding when the Fed will be done hiking the rates is killing everyone, but even the Fed itself doesn’t know when tightening will/should end. It will depend on US politics and the crucial economic data, like inflation, jobs, and growth figures.
This week, we will plunge back into the US political saga, as the government short-term...
