macro finance

  • The Fed under Kevin Warsh has been divided over the inflation data, with Sahm calling it positive and Schiff criticizing the CPI for being misleading.
  • The comparison of long-term treasury bond ETFs has attracted attention. VGLT and SCHQ each have their own advantages and disadvantages, and investors need to choose based on their risk appetite.
  • Many companies' financial reports exceeded expectations but their stock prices fell, such as Block, Curtiss-Wright, and Corpay. The market was worried about their valuation or prospects.

Market Read

The overall market sentiment is cautious, with Bitcoin rising slightly by 0.07% to $63,085.98, and mainstream currencies such as Ethereum and Solana experiencing minimal fluctuations, indicating that the market is waiting for directional catalysis. Regulatory dynamics have become the focus. Trump’s participation in the encryption conference may bring policy benefits, but Galaxy lowered the probability of passing the CLARITY Act to 10%, indicating legislative uncertainty. Institutional funds flowed into Bitcoin ETFs (such as UBS, Paul Tudor Jones) to provide support, but the market reacted negatively to the financial reports of highly valued technology stocks. For example, Block EPS increased by 65% ​​but the stock price fell, showing investors' concerns about the sustainability of growth. At the macro level, disagreements within the Federal Reserve over the interpretation of inflation data may affect interest rate cut expectations, thereby affecting risky assets.

The crypto market was overall stable, with Bitcoin slightly up and altcoins mixed. In terms of regulation, Trump's attendance at the White House encryption conference was interpreted as a positive signal, but Kalshi was asked to stop some prediction markets in Washington, indicating tightening regulation. In terms of institutional trends, UBS has significantly increased its holdings of IBIT call options, and the Paul Tudor Jones Fund has also increased its holdings, indicating that institutions are optimistic about the long-term. However, Swan CEO believes that Bitcoin may bottom out in October, altcoins are 'basically dead', and market sentiment remains cautious. The tokenized stock market is developing rapidly, with the number of holders doubling, showing the trend of integrating traditional assets and encryption.

The prices of gold tokens XAUT and PAXG dropped slightly, to $4,361.57 and $4,379.93 respectively, a decrease of approximately 0.07% and 0.05%, which was consistent with the fluctuations in the overall precious metal market. The fall in silver prices may be affected by weak industrial demand, and jewelers such as Pandora may benefit from lower costs. As a safe-haven asset, gold remains popular amid macro uncertainty, but it lacks directional drivers in the short term. Investors can pay attention to the Federal Reserve's policy path and changes in real interest rates to judge the subsequent trend of gold.
