Summary: Bitcoin testing 100k!
Good morning,
In terms of data we are looking a slow day but trading wise, that may not be the case. Levels and headlines are certainly anything but boring:
- Team Trump suffered the first defeat as Matt Gaetz withdrew, Pam Bondi is nominated as Attorney general.
- Boris Pistorius will not be available as chancellor candidate at the election in February, Olaf Scholz will attempt a second term against all odds.
- Russia fired a new hypersonic intermediate-range ballistic missile in the Ukraine war.
- Bitcoin is testing the 100k
- The US Dollar is trading at a years high with the USD Index at above 107, EURUSD 1.0465, GBPUSD 1.2570, USDJPY 154.80. Gold is testing the 2690 and Silver 31
- Reuters reports the Chinese companies to be accumulating Dollars, Exporters' hoard $836 billion
- The Dow outperformed the other US Indexes as Google and Amazon pulled the Nasdaq and S%P lower.
- Snowflake surged 32.7% after reporting
- MicroStrategy is down 16% , Koen took a look at the stock
- Althea took a look at ETF
With only the US University of Michigan consumer sentiment and the S&P Global Manufacturing & Services PMIs on the agenda, be cautious of repositioning and technical level.
Next week brings us key US Data, Thanksgiving, Month End and Black Friday.
