Key Quotes

24-hour view: “GBP closed on firm note in NY yesterday (1.2767, +0.45%) but surged earlier this morning on further Brexit headlines. The rapid rebound appears to be running ahead of itself but there is scope for GBP to test 1.2890 first before the advance should ease off. Support is at 1.2790 followed by 1.2750”.

Next 1-3 weeks: “The ‘negative’ phase in GBP that started about 2 weeks ago (see update on 19 Oct, spot at 1.3020) ended abruptly as Brexit headlines sent GBP blasting past the ‘key resistance’ at 1.2820 (GBP hit a high of 1.2831 during NY hours and extended its gain earlier this morning when more Brexit headlines crossed the wires). The sudden surge in GBP came as a surprise as after the steep decline on Tuesday (30 Oct), we were of the view that GBP could break the year-to-date low of 1.2662. The strong recovery in GBP suggests the 1.2697 low seen on Tuesday is a short-term bottom and we do not expect this level to come into the picture, at least not for the next one week or so. Despite the robust rebound, it is premature to expect a major bullish reversal. GBP has likely moved into a ‘correction’ phase and the current recovery could extend higher but at this stage, any further advance is likely limited to 1.2950”.

After bottoming out near 1.3160, GBP/USD manages to regain a bit of shine and reclaim the 1.3200 mark and beyond at the end of the week.

EUR/USD looks consolidative around 1.1460

EUR/USD stages a modest rebound after slipping to a three-month low below 1.1420 at the end of the week.

Gold slips back to six-day lows, targets $4,100

Gold retreats for the third consecutive day on Friday, eroding gains seen in the first half of the week and approaching the key $4,100 mark per troy ounce. Indeed, the precious metal continues to face headwinds from the Fed's hawkish stance and renewed uncertainty surrounding the next round of US-Iran negotiations.

Solana extends correction despite ETF inflows, RWA adoption

Solana (SOL) price edges below $70 extending its losses for the fourth straight day this week. The institutional demand for Solana is building, with steady inflows so far this week and Morgan Stanley’s amended S-1 filing for a Solana-focused Exchange-Traded Fund.

The Iran war didn't break the US economy, but what happens next?

Nearly four months after the start of the Iran war, the US economy remains remarkably resilient. While the conflict initially triggered a severe disruption to global energy markets and a sharp rise in Oil prices, recent diplomatic progress between Washington and Tehran has eased concerns about a prolonged supply shock.

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
