[4E: Powell suppresses expectations of rate cuts, US stocks hit the biggest weekly drop in two months, market sentiment retreats] On November 18, after a strong rise after the election, market sentiment converged last week. Fed Chairman Powell seemed to be interested in slowing down the rate cuts, which cooled the excitement generated by the "Trump deal". According to 4E monitoring, the three major US stock indexes continued to weaken after hitting new highs on Monday last week. The expectation of rate cuts on Friday put pressure on US stocks to fall across the board. The S&P 500 fell 2% in the past five trading days, wiping out half of its gains since the election. The Dow fell 1.24% this week, and the Nasdaq fell 3.15% this week, the largest weekly drop since September. After Bitcoin broke through $93,000 on Wednesday to set a record high, it began to converge but showed resilience under the pullback of US stocks. It is currently fluctuating in a narrow range at the $90,000 mark. As of press time, Bitcoin was at $90,799, up nearly 12% in 7 days. Other altcoins followed the fluctuations of Bitcoin. SOL benefited from the continued craze of MEME, showing strong rebound and upward momentum. In terms of foreign exchange, the Fed's expectations of interest rate cuts have cooled, causing the US dollar to continue to strengthen and hit its highest level in more than a year. The US dollar index rose 1.6% last week and rose for seven consecutive weeks. The strong dollar impacted everything and continued to put pressure on commodities. Spot gold fell by about 4.6% last week, the largest weekly drop in three years, and fell nearly 9.3% from its historical high. US oil fell by nearly 5% and Brent oil fell by nearly 4%. The current market focus is on inflation concerns after the Trump administration took office and the Fed's more hawkish outlook. Powell's speech on Thursday basically said that Fed officials do not need to rush to cut interest rates, causing traders to slash their expectations of interest rate cuts. The decline in sentiment and the uncertainty of monetary policy have increased the market's upward resistance. eeee.com is a financial trading platform that supports assets such as cryptocurrencies, stock indexes, bulk gold, and foreign exchange.
