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

The US Dollar (USD) kept its bullish bias well in place for yet another week, extending its march north while revisiting an area last seen 18 months ago. 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.

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?

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.

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?

The S&P 500 is near all-time highs once again. On Tuesday, the most-watched index hit 7,844, surpassing the previous all-time high set on August 13, less than two months ago. But what wasn’t immediately clear to investors just staring at a candlestick chart was that the market’s breadth had completely reversed from that prior period.

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