In-Depth Analysis

The 2% inflation target came from a throwaway remark. It now moves trillions

The Federal Reserve's 2% inflation goal grew out of an off-the-cuff remark by a New Zealand politician in 1988. Bond investors still price long-term US debt as if 2% holds, so a change in how the Fed measures inflation would move markets.

Fed's recap: A cautious hold with a clear warning on inflation

The Federal Reserve (Fed) held its policy rate steady at 3.75%-4.00%, but it wasn’t a unanimous decision. Among two officials who wanted a 25-basis-point hike were Lisa Cook and Beth Hammack, while Chair Kevin Warsh said the Fed would use the coming flow of information to decide whether further action is needed. The statement presented a resilient economy.

Cardano Price Forecast: ADA defends key support level amid mounting bearish pressure

Cardano continues to consolidate above its $0.1894 support level on Monday, stabilizing after roughly an 8% loss on last Thursday. On-chain data shows reduced activity among large-wallet investors, commonly referred to as whales, despite a rise in Cardano’s social chatter.

Solana Price Forecast: SOL slides below key EMAs as ETF outflows peak

Solana remains under pressure on Monday, hovering around $95.48 after extending its losing streak to five consecutive weeks. Bearish sentiment strengthens as SOL’s spot Exchange Traded Funds recorded weekly outflows of $71.47 million, marking the largest withdrawals since their launch.

NASDAQ 100 not yet in correction, but it's getting close

The NASDAQ 100 topples 3% on Friday on a wave of AI stock selling stemming from the disastrous Amazon (AMZN) and Intel (INTC) earnings reports released late Thursday. Coming off the previous session's Alphabet (GOOGL) earnings-induced slide and a horrid October, growth investors might be surprised to know that the NDX isn't yet in a correction.

Weekly Forecast

EUR/USD: US President Donald Trump judgment day has come

The EUR/USD pair settled around 1.1160, down for the week and closing October with losses. The US Dollar (USD) advanced through the first half of the week but changed course after the Federal Reserve (Fed) monetary policy announcement, then fell further after the European Central Bank (ECB) reported the same decision. The Greenback regained some poise on Friday, as risk aversion took the lead.

European Central Bank faces 3-year-high inflation at 3.8%

The European Central Bank (ECB) faces a difficult monetary policy environment as Eurozone inflation reached 3.8% in September, its highest level in three years and almost twice the central bank's 2% target.

Gold: Bears dominate even as US yields push lower ahead of midterm election

Bitcoin: Binance security breach and hawkish Fed push BTC lower

Bitcoin (BTC) continues to weaken this week, down more than 3% and heading for its fourth straight weekly loss. The largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization is facing a bearish outlook, fueled by a hawkish Federal Reserve (Fed) outlook at the October meeting and a reported $6.3 billion hack at Binance, which is driving risk aversion and triggering heavy liquidations.

US Dollar: A hawkish Fed is no longer enough

The US Dollar (USD) managed to regain some composure, ending the week with acceptable gains after surrendering some ground following earlier two-week highs. Indeed, the US Dollar Index (DXY), at some point in the last few days, popped to as high as the 102.50 zone, just to lose some momentum soon afterwards despite keeping its weekly bullish mood well in place.
