In-Depth Analysis

Has Bitcoin really escaped the macro forces it was built to fight?

Over 17 years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto designed Bitcoin (BTC) on the back of a global financial crisis as an alternative to the global monetary system outside the control of central banks, governments and traditional intermediaries. This raises a key question: has Bitcoin really become independent of the macroeconomic forces it was built to challenge?

The Euro is not the sick man of Europe. France's bond market is

The S&P 500 is near all-time highs, but only a quarter of its stocks are above their 50-day average. What does that mean?

War should be bullish for Gold. Right now it's capping it

Oil is up by more than a third since the US and Israel went to war with Iran on February 28. Gold is down by about a fifth over the same stretch. The war reaches Gold through the Federal Reserve (Fed) rather than through fear. Every jump in Oil adds to the case for higher US interest rates, and higher rates make a metal that pays nothing more expensive to hold.

Weekly Forecast

EUR/USD: US Dollar persistent demand hints at a test of 1.1000

The EUR/USD pair maintained its bearish route, edging lower for a fifth consecutive week. The pair traded as low as 1.1161 before trimming some losses, settling on Friday at around 1.1210. Financial markets were once again all about US Dollar (USD) momentum and risk aversion, with government bond yields stealing the limelight while hitting multi-decade highs.

Scott Bessent has a plan to cut mortgage rates. It hinges on one war

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's plan to lower borrowing costs has two parts. One is buying back more long-dated government bonds. The other is getting past the war with Iran; after that, he has reportedly said rates should drop. The 30-year mortgage rate is at its highest in almost three years, and the bond yield it follows has added very little for war-driven inflation.

Bitcoin (BTC) price is down over 4% so far this week, trading below $83,000 at the time of writing on Friday as mounting selling pressure threatens to derail the seasonal “Uptober” rally. Profit-taking, a surge in long liquidations and weakening demand from institutional investors are weighing on BTC.

US Dollar: December is calling, but CPI gets the final word

The continuation of the leg higher in the buck has been underpinned by steady bets on further tightening by the Federal Reserve (Fed) in Q4, alongside radio silence on the Middle East conflict.
