Short Market Recap (11/03/25)

🇺🇸🇨🇳 US–China Truce Lifts Global Sentiment Washington and Beijing agreed to a fragile one-year trade truce, easing tariff and export restrictions across key sectors including rare earths and agriculture. While the deal boosted market morale, unresolved structural issues and ongoing U.S. shutdown risks keep uncertainty elevated.

💵 Dollar Marks Second-Best Month of 2025 The U.S. dollar extended gains, supported by trade optimism and improving risk sentiment. Despite fiscal gridlock from the prolonged government shutdown, the greenback drew strength from reduced global tensions and steady safe-haven demand.

🥇 Gold Retreats as Risk Appetite Returns Gold slipped as investors rotated out of defensive positions into equities and higher-yielding assets. Although safe-haven flows have eased, persistent Fed rate-cut expectations and the U.S. fiscal stalemate continue to offer a floor for bullion prices.

🛢️ Oil Extends Rally After OPEC+ Holds Output Steady Crude oil climbed after OPEC+ announced a pause in production hikes through Q1 2026. The move, aimed at preventing a supply glut, combined with tighter U.S. sanctions on Russian producers, helped lift prices from multi-month lows.

Short Market Recap (11/04/25)

Global Sentiment Markets started November positively, driven by strong corporate earnings and easing U.S.-China trade tensions. Key focuses include upcoming U.S. Supreme Court hearings on tariffs and OPEC+ supply decisions.

💵 EUR/USD: Under pressure and testing a key support level. The Euro is weighed down by sluggish Eurozone data, while the Dollar remains strong despite the Fed's rate cut. The trend is bearish unless it can reclaim a higher resistance level.

🥇 Gold (XAU/USD): Consolidating in a narrow range. A Fed rate cut provided mild support, but uncertainty limits gains. A breakout above or below its current range is needed for a clearer direction.

🛢️ Oil (USOIL): Found support after breaking a downtrend. Prices are stabilizing, supported by OPEC+ discipline and geopolitical risks, but capped by demand concerns. The technical outlook is cautiously bullish.

Short Market Recap (11/05/25)

💰 Global Risk-Off Wave Hits Markets Risk aversion gripped global markets as the prolonged U.S. government shutdown and renewed Fed hawkishness triggered a broad flight to safety. The dollar surged to four-month highs while equities and crypto faced heavy liquidation pressure.

📉 Stocks Slide on Valuation and Fed Jitters U.S. equities extended declines, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures slipping as stretched valuations and cautious Fed signals weighed on sentiment. Tech led losses after AMD’s weak outlook and a steep drop in Super Micro Computer shares. The MSCI World Index posted its sharpest daily fall in weeks, signaling renewed global caution.

₿ Crypto Tumbles Over 20% from Highs Bitcoin plunged below $100,000 for the first time since June, deepening its correction to more than 20% from record levels. Widespread margin calls and fading liquidity triggered forced selling across digital assets, pushing futures open interest to multi-month lows. Despite lower funding rates, participation remains weak amid the broader market selloff.

🥇 Gold Slips as Traders Cover Margin Calls Gold fell despite its safe-haven status, as investors sold holdings to meet margin requirements amid heavy losses elsewhere. The metal’s downside was contained by renewed uncertainty over Fed policy and fiscal risks, keeping prices near key technical support zones.

💵 Dollar Regains Control as Fed Signals Divide The dollar rallied to its strongest level in four months against the euro after Fed Chair Powell hinted that a December rate cut was “not a given.” Markets sharply reduced easing expectations, with rate-cut odds slipping to 65% from 94% last week, according to CME FedWatch.

Short Market Recap (11/06/25)

💵 Dollar Holds Firm on Solid U.S. Data The Dollar Index extended gains, hovering near multi-week highs as upbeat U.S. data reinforced confidence in the economy. ADP private payrolls rose by 42K versus expectations of 32K, while ISM manufacturing printed at 52.4, comfortably above the 50 threshold. Despite the ongoing government shutdown, data continuity has helped maintain visibility on growth, with stronger prints dampening near-term Fed rate-cut bets. Traders now price just a 66% chance of a December cut, down sharply from 90% last week.

🛢️ Oil Slips After Record U.S. Stockpile Build Crude prices retreated slightly as the EIA reported a surprise 5.2M-barrel build in U.S. inventories, reversing forecasts for a drawdown. Rising EV adoption and softening demand expectations have kept oil capped, even as geopolitical tensions and OPEC+ supply discipline continue to lend intermittent support.

🥇 Gold Slides as Dollar Strengthens Gold fell under renewed pressure as the stronger greenback and fading Fed dovishness eroded safe-haven appeal. While fiscal imbalances and the ballooning U.S. national debt — now at $38 trillion — provide a longer-term floor for bullion, near-term momentum favors continued consolidation below key resistance levels.

📈 Equities Rebound Cautiously U.S. equities edged higher after earlier declines, supported by improved risk sentiment following constructive U.S.–China developments. Still, investors remain cautious ahead of the Fed’s next policy move and any progress toward ending the government shutdown, both of which could shape liquidity and market direction into year-end.
