25bps Rate Cut! Will Market Fresh New Highs Ahead of China–US Summit?

The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points as expected and announced the end of quantitative tightening (QT). Powell stated that a rate cut in December is by no means a done deal. Trump tweets that "a great trip" in Asia. This week, the US stock market hit new highs with Nvidia offering super boost. Meanwhile, gold also rebounds back to $4000. ---------- Will the market rally together with gold? Is gold bull market back and pullback ending? What's your view at this point?

$NASDAQ 100(NDX)$ $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ $S&P 500(.SPX)$ I’m watching this week’s Asia tour with heightened focus; it sits at the intersection of geopolitics, liquidity and market psychology. NASDAQ’s seven-month rally has thrived on dovish expectations, yet the deeper question now is whether diplomacy will reinforce or unsettle that confidence. Macro Context: Inflation Cools, Optimism Holds September CPI rose 3.0% year-on-year, the highest since January 2025 but still beneath the 3.1% forecast. Core CPI matched at 3.0%, confirming that inflation is plateauing rather than reigniting. Shelter inflation eased to 0.2% monthly, and services ex-shelter steadied. Futures

QT May Come To A Pause? Turbulence For Liquidity-Sensitive Assets? Which Suffers More?

With Fed chair signalling QT may come to an end to avoid excessive liquidity tightening harming economic growth, are we seeing the bull run coming to a stop for highly liquidity-sensitive assets? We might say that it is quite possible that we’re entering a more choppy / less linear bull-run phase for equities, and that the crypto sector — which is very sensitive to liquidity — could see sharper swings. But the dynamics are nuanced. Here is a breakdown: What Powell / Fed Signalling Means for Equities QT nearing its end is a dovish pivot Fed Chair Powell recently said that the balance-sheet drawdown (QT) “may be approaching” its end in coming months. If the Fed stops shrinking its balance sheet, that effectively halts further liquidity withdrawal from markets, which could ease pressure on ra

Bank Run Scare Fades: Zions and WAL Rebound—Crash Rehearsal or Blip?

The "bank run" panic that gripped markets mid-week eased as Zions Bancorp surged over 4% to $45.50 and Western Alliance Bank climbed 2% to $71.50, after both disclosed loan fraud issues that triggered a 13% and 11% plunge. The regional banking sector rebounded, with the KRE ETF up 1.2% to $49.2, while the S&P 500 slipped to 6,580 amid ongoing volatility.

Operating profit demonstrated robust expansion (operating profit up over 12% year-on-year), while net profit saw a slight decline due to non-recurring gains/losses and higher tax rates.
