Big Moves Alert:
Dollar Index, Gold, S&P 500, Oil, U.S. 10-yr Yield, Bitcoin Overlay Chart by TradingView
WTI crude oil went nuts 🌪️ early on, getting hyped up by Trump's shade on Russia and his nudge to Europe to get in on action too—keeping those oil peeps anxious about supplies.
Gold was kinda meh in Asia and London 😴, but found its groove during the U.S. kick-off when Trump was like “U.S.-China chat is lit.” 🎉
Then, boom, Treasury’s Bessent confirmed some U.S.-China trade deal vibes, and U.S. stocks zoomed upwards 🚀. Tesla and Alphabet were living their best lives, closing 3.62% and 4.53% up. 📈
Treasury yields? 🐢 Staying low, folks prepping for that Fed rate cut and news that Fed peep Cook will be in the FOMC meeting kept easing hopes alive. 🤔
Currency Wars: Dollar On The Slide:
Overlay of USD vs. Majors Chart by TradingView
The dollar dipped like 🎶, mostly 'cause everyone was jonesing ahead of the Fed’s meet, and risk-on moves made this safe-haven thing not the tea. 🙅♂️
China’s retail, production, and investments reports dropped during the Asia squad’s shift, sounding the "mo' growth measures lol pls" horn 📢, giving AUD and NZD a boost, déjà vu from last week’s CPI vibes in China. 💡
The dollar had a cutie lil rebound before London snatched it back down, especially against GBP 'cause they’re banking on some spicy BOE decisions. 🤞
Trump’s “U.S.-China had a good chat” post and Bessent’s scoop on a trade deal gave USD a moment, but it couldn’t hold the line as stocks stayed poppin’. 🥳📉
