To The Moon

The Federal Reserve's latest Beige Book reveals a slowdown in the US economy, the market bets on the US central bank to cut interest rates in the first half of next year, US Treasuries continued to rise, the main US stock index closed little changed on Wednesday (29), the Dow Jones rose more than 10 points, the index and the S&P slightly closed down.

In political and economic news, U.S. economic growth slowed this fall, with business activity growing slowly or declining across the country, according to the Federal Reserve's Beige Book, a regular business survey. Consumer activity was mixed, with much of the cooling coming from a decline in purchases of durable goods and increased price sensitivity.

Fed officials sent a mixture of hawk and dove signals on Wednesday, with Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic saying inflation was steadily cooling.

Richmond Fed President Thomas Barkin said there are not enough signs of cooling yet and policymakers should keep the option of raising rates on the table in case inflation returns. On a neutral note, Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester said easing inflation pressures gave the Fed time to decide the next step in monetary policy.

The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and Partners (OPEC+) will meet on Thursday to decide the next steps in production policy, with all eyes on whether OPEC members, led by heavyweight Saudi Arabia, can bridge their differences. Sources pointed out that African members Angola and Nigeria are seeking to increase oil production.
