This week attention turns to Q3 earnings reports from Mitsubishi, Sisco, Alibaba, Sony, CRWV etc, as Washington nears funding agreement.
Bank of England Held Rates as Economic Concerns Shift
The Bank of England (BoE) opted to keep its Bank Rate steady at 4.00% following a close 5–4 vote, with four members — Breeden, Ramsden, Dhingra, and Taylor — supporting a 25 basis-point rate cut.
Changing Tone on Inflation and Growth
The Committee’s statement reflected a softer stance on inflation, acknowledging that price pressures have peaked and disinflation is taking hold, aided by the Bank’s restrictive monetary policy. However, the tone of the discussion has shifted — policymakers expressed growing concern over weakening demand, slower growth momentum, and signs of economic cooling. The balance of risks appears to be tilting from inflation toward potential stagnation in the broader economy.
Stocks Weaken Under Renewed Selling Pressure
Equity markets faced another broad selloff, marking the second major decline this week. The S&P 500 slipped 1.02%, giving up most of Wednesday’s brief rebound, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 1.76% after earlier intraday losses exceeding 2%.
Investor sentiment remains fragile amid uncertainty about central bank policy direction and slowing corporate earnings growth. Many traders are retreating from risk assets as optimism over a near-term rebound fades, and focus shifts toward macroeconomic headwinds.
Technology Stocks Lead the Decline
The technology sector once again bore the brunt of the selloff. Palantir fell 15.5% this week after releasing weaker-than-expected guidance. Meta dropped 2.67%, extending its total post-earnings decline to nearly 18%.
Nvidia shed 3.65%, bringing its loss to 11% from Monday’s high. AMD tumbled 7.27%, amplifying sector-wide losses. The pullback underscores a broader loss of momentum across high-growth tech names, which had previously fueled market gains.
Political Progress Offers Market Support
In Washington, efforts to resolve the government funding impasse added further momentum. Senate leaders continued discussions over the weekend, with plans for a rare Sunday session aimed at finalizing a deal that could reopen federal operations and extend key healthcare subsidies for another year.

Last week, markets were quite volatile again, with gold finding support at $4,000. EUR/USD stayed above 1.16 while main indices closed the week higher at new records. The moves weren’t too big though, and we opened 35 trading signals in total, finishing the week with 23 winning signals and 12 losing ones.
Gold Tests the 20 Daily SMA
Although demand for safe haven assets is still high, gold fell precipitously from record highs following the Fed’s most recent rate cut comments, as profit-taking was prompted by Powell’s cautious tone. Earlier this month, gold jumped above $4.3800 following the Federal Reserve’s announcement of a 25 basis point rate decrease. But the impetus soon waned, and prices dropped back to $4,004. The 20 daily SMA (gray) held as support last week, but it gave way yesterday as sellers pushed Gold below $3,900 but buyers returned and pushed XAU above $4K.
Booking Profit on Our Long USD/JPY Signal
Foreign exchange markets saw sharp swings. Early in the week, U.S. yield differentials and Japanese capital outflows pushed the dollar above ¥150, but disappointing U.S. jobs data triggered profit-taking, causing the USD/JPY to slide by four yen from its peak. However, the new BOJ governor the JPY has weakened and USD/JPY soared to 153 but returned below 152 yesterday.

Cryptocurrency Update
Bitcoin Starts to Rebound Off the $100K Level
Cryptocurrencies remained highly active over the summer. Bitcoin (BTC) climbed to fresh highs of $123,000 and $124,000 in July and August, supported by institutional inflows and technical strength. However, remarks from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent ruling out U.S. increases to BTC reserves triggered a steep pullback, sending the coin down below $105,000 before finding support at the 200 daily SMA (purple) and recovering above $115,000 but then fell toward $100K again. However last week BTC turned higher again, climbing above $114K over the weekend but tumbled to $10oK again.
