MARKET PRICES IN RATE CUTS The key macro event this week was the release of the October CPI data, which came in notably cooler than anticipated. The year-over-year CPI was slightly lower at 3.2%, just below the predicted 3.3%, while the month-over-month figure remained steady at 0.0%, in contrast to the expected 0.1%. This cooler inflation data spurred a surge in equity indices. It also bolstered investor confidence in the...

Crypto markets are retracing some of yesterdayâs gains, with BTC (-4.22%) trading at $36.3k and ETH (-3.10%) trading slightly below $2k. ETH/BTC is showing...

Additionally, YoY and MoM Core CPI came in below expectations, giving investors confidence that the Fed is likely finished with rate hikes. Crypto markets are not responding as positively to the data, with BTC (-1.33%)...

There are also reports that the SEC has...
