    AI stocks sell off as investors turn to government bonds, defensive stocks

    The sell-off in AI trading continues and the slump in technology stocks intensifies, as investors are turning from technology stocks to the relative safety of government bonds and defensive equity sectors.

    Editorial Comment

    The sell-off in technology stocks drove funds into government bonds and defensive stocks, indicating that the market's risk appetite is shrinking. For the gold and foreign exchange markets, this safe-haven switch deserves attention, especially the transmission of fluctuations in bond yields to the cost of gold holdings and the relative performance of safe-haven currencies. Traders should pay attention to whether subsequent capital flows spread from the stock market to the foreign exchange market and precious metals, rather than a single sector adjustment.

    AUDUSD sellers take control, economic data drives down more than 1%, what price levels to watch next

    AUDUSD fell more than 1% after Australia's September jobs report was weaker than expected, with sellers taking control after a technical breakout. Employment fell by 39,300 and the unemployment rate was higher than expected at 4.7%; after prices break below 0.69056–0.69205, the next support focuses on 0.68321–0.68632, which contains the 50% midpoint of 0.68488.

    Editorial Comment

    The combination of weak Australian employment data and technical breaks has strengthened the short-term weakness of the Australian dollar and may be transmitted to the overall risk sentiment through commodity currency linkage. In the follow-up, we need to pay attention to the competition between 0.69056 and 0.68488. Gains and losses in this area will help judge whether the decline can continue. At the same time, pay attention to the overall trend of the US dollar to suppress non-US currencies.

    U.S. stocks continue to fall, and the technical view is that the three major indexes are competing for key moving averages.

    U.S. stocks continued their decline today, with the three major stock indexes entering a battle for key moving averages. The S&P 500 has fallen below the 200-hour moving average of 7,706.38, the Nasdaq Composite has taken over near the 100-day moving average of 26,289, and the Nasdaq 100 is still below the 100-day moving average of 29,626.09. The author reminds that holding the support is only the first step, and the falling moving average needs to be recovered to alleviate the downward pressure.

    Editorial Comment

    The competition around the key moving averages of the three major U.S. stock indexes is not over yet. Whether short-term technical conditions are repaired or not is an important observation window for risk sentiment. For gold and foreign exchange traders, the moving average gain and loss can be used as an auxiliary signal to judge market hedging or risk preference switching, but it needs to be verified in conjunction with subsequent price behavior.

    TSMC sets record quarter as AI customers fiercely compete for chip production capacity

    TSMC's record quarter shows that demand for AI chips continues to be strong, and its advanced process production capacity has become a fierce battleground for customers such as Nvidia, AMD, and Broadcom. TSMC's profit hit a record high for the sixth consecutive quarter, and fourth-quarter revenue is expected to grow 58% year-on-year. However, analysts pointed out that capacity constraints in the next 12 to 18 months may threaten AI companies' infrastructure investment and revenue growth goals. TSMC is expanding production capacity by adding new fabs in Taiwan, Japan and Arizona, while Samsung and Intel try to win over customers from tight capacity.

    Editorial Comment

    TSMC's record quarter highlights the bottleneck of AI chip production capacity. Capacity constraints in the next 12 to 18 months may restrict some AI infrastructure investment and revenue growth targets. If this supply chain constraint triggers a reassessment of the market's growth expectations for technology stocks, it may affect risk appetite and capital flows, which will in turn be transmitted to fluctuations in the gold and foreign exchange markets.

    U.S. producer inflation rose 6.3% year-on-year in September, higher than the 5.3% expected

    U.S. producer inflation rose 6.3% year-on-year in September, higher than market expectations of 5.3%.

    Same story, featured below《美国9月PPI同比6.3%,高于预期的5.3%》

    Editorial Comment

    U.S. producer inflation rose 6.3% year-on-year in September, 1 percentage point higher than expected, indicating that upstream price pressures were stronger than the market's consensus, making assessments of the interest rate outlook more cautious. This data may affect the valuation logic of the U.S. dollar and gold through the policy expectation channel. Traders need to pay attention to subsequent inflation data and policy signals for further revisions to market expectations.

    AWS and Anthropic race to build a team of forward deployment engineers to respond to market doubts about the return on investment in AI

    AWS, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Accenture and Google Cloud are competing to recruit and train forward deployment engineers (FDE) to turn large models into enterprise applications and respond to market doubts about the return on investment in AI.

    Editorial Comment

    This news shows that leading cloud vendors are allocating resources to the implementation of AI applications in response to the market’s questioning of investment returns, which is related to changes in capital expenditure efficiency and risk appetite in the technology sector. For the gold and foreign exchange markets, the subsequent realization of AI commercialization may be transmitted through market sentiment and capital flows. Traders can pay attention to the industry prosperity signals reflected in the financial reports of relevant companies and recruitment enthusiasm.

    The probability of the Fed raising interest rates in October falls below 30%

    The CME FedWatch tool shows that the market's probability of a 25 basis point interest rate hike at the Federal Reserve's FOMC meeting on October 28 dropped from 50% to 27.1%. Market pricing has changed significantly in the past day.

    Editorial Comment

    The probability of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates in October dropped from 50% to 27.1% in a single day, indicating that the market's pricing of the short-term tightening path has significantly cooled down. This change may ease the dollar's support from interest rate expectations and affect the holding cost logic of non-interest-bearing assets such as gold. Traders need to pay attention to whether subsequent statements from Federal Reserve officials and economic data will further revise this expectation.

    Four major factors reversed the bond market, and the AI ​​spending feast was ignored

    The bond market warned of the AI ​​spending boom, with CoreWeave bond yields rising to 15%. The author lists four signals: Gavin Baker said that OpenAI and Anthropic’s trillion-dollar spending commitments were not taken seriously. Anthropic’s third-quarter revenue of $16.8 billion increased 45% from the previous quarter, but it was not enough to support a $2 trillion valuation. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield fell back to 5.06% from this month's high of 5.34%, indicating that funds are seeking safety and AI trading may begin to unwind positions.

    Editorial Comment

    The bond market's doubts about the sustainability of AI spending may intensify risk asset volatility and affect U.S. dollar liquidity expectations. Traders can pay attention to the linkage between the fall in U.S. bond yields and risk aversion. If the closing of AI transactions triggers funds to seek safety, the allocation logic of gold and traditional safe-haven currencies is worth paying attention to.

    Sticky CPI makes it difficult for the Fed to pause, and Pantheon Macro expects to raise interest rates once more before the end of the year

    Pantheon Macroeconomics said September CPI data left the Fed with little room for pause. Overall CPI rose 0.6%, in line with expectations, and core CPI rose 0.3%, 0.1 percentage points higher than consensus expectations. The agency expects one more interest rate hike before the end of the year.

    Editorial Comment

    The higher-than-expected core CPI narrowed the Fed's room to pause interest rate hikes, and the market's expectations that interest rates will remain high or be further tightened may increase, which logically puts pressure on the non-interest-bearing asset gold. Traders will need to pay attention to subsequent Fed officials' interpretation of the data and the reaction of the yield curve.

    Gold held on to overnight gains above $4,100, with U.S. PPI rising 6.3% in September

    Gold held on to overnight gains, with prices remaining above $4,100; U.S. PPI rose 6.3% in September.

    Editorial Comment

    The 6.3% increase in U.S. PPI in September showed that upstream inflationary pressures are still strong, but gold still held on to overnight gains and remained above $4,100, indicating that the market's short-term reaction to inflation data has not weakened the resilience of precious metals. It is worth noting that this price performance may reflect that traders pay more attention to real interest rate expectations or risk aversion than a single inflation indicator. It will be necessary to observe how the market digests the interaction between this data and the Fed's policy signal.

    Nasdaq's plunge may not just be caused by interest rate hike expectations

    The author believes that yesterday's sharp decline in Nasdaq may not only be driven by expectations of interest rate hikes, but also an early signal that the market is beginning to be more worried about future economic prospects. After the U.S. core CPI exceeded expectations, far-end interest rate expectations turned dovish, U.S. bond yields fell, copper prices also fell sharply, and credit spreads have issued warnings for several weeks. Technically, the Nasdaq fell below the main upward trend line, and we will focus on key levels such as 28,742 and 26,971 as well as catalysts such as Flash PMI, FOMC meeting and US-Iran negotiations.

    Editorial Comment

    This news suggests that the market pricing logic may shift from simply responding to inflation to accounting for slowing growth in advance. The simultaneous decline in yields and weakening copper prices is worthy of attention. For gold, if far-end interest rates fall and risk aversion resonates, it will amplify the game between its interest rate and risk aversion properties; for the foreign exchange market, it is necessary to observe the relative changes in the US dollar between growth concerns and interest rate spread expectations. The subsequent Flash PMI, FOMC meeting and US-Iran negotiations are key windows to verify this logic.

    U.S. Philadelphia Fed Business Index in October +20.9, +28.4 expected

    The Philadelphia Fed business index in October was +20.9, lower than the expected +28.4 and the previous value was +37.8. Sub-indicators such as new orders, shipments and employment fell back but remained positive, while the price paid index fell while the price obtained index rose. The author believes that the market is beginning to worry about economic growth, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield falling and the yield curve flattening.

    Editorial Comment

    The Philadelphia Fed Business Index fell significantly from the previous value of 37.8 to 20.9 and was lower than expected. New orders, shipments, employment and other sub-categories simultaneously cooled down but are still in the expansion range, indicating that the manufacturing momentum is weakening rather than shrinking. Market concerns about economic growth have pushed U.S. bond yields downward and the yield curve flattened, which will affect the safe-haven pricing logic of the U.S. dollar and gold. Traders need to pay attention to whether subsequent regional Fed data will continue this slowdown signal.

    The U.S. New York Fed manufacturing index rose to 25.5 in October, much higher than the expected 10.25

    The New York Fed manufacturing index in the United States rose to 25.5 in October from the previous value of 7.60 and market expectations of 10.25. The new orders index jumped 21 points to 23.2, and the shipments index rose 16 points to 13.1, indicating expansion in manufacturing activity. Price pressure remains, with the supply availability index falling to -15.1, the lowest since June 2022.

    Editorial Comment

    The New York Fed's manufacturing index significantly exceeded expectations and new orders and shipments strengthened simultaneously, providing a direct reading for assessing the expansion momentum of the U.S. manufacturing industry. The market may re-examine the recent economic resilience based on this. Supply availability has dropped to its lowest level since June 2022, and superimposed price pressures still exist, which means that cost-side constraints have not yet been lifted. Traders need to pay attention to the subsequent impact of such data on inflation expectations and monetary policy pricing.

    U.S. PPI in September was 6.3% year-on-year, higher than the expected 5.3%

    U.S. final demand PPI rose 6.3% year-on-year in September, higher than the expected 5.3% and the previous value of 5.4%. Since some items of PPI are directly included in core PCE, this unexpected surprise may affect the Fed's inflation pricing.

    Editorial Comment

    September's PPI was significantly higher than expected year-on-year and some items were included in core PCE, which means that the market's pricing of inflationary pressure from the Federal Reserve is at risk of upward revision. Traders need to pay attention to the data's disruption to interest rate path expectations, as well as the rebalancing of gold valuation logic under the linkage between the US dollar and real interest rates. Subsequent core PCE data may become a key variable to verify the stickiness of inflation.

    U.S. retail sales increased 0.8% month-on-month in September, higher than expected 0.3%

    U.S. retail sales increased by 0.8% month-on-month in September, higher than market expectations of 0.3%. The previous value was revised up to 1.2%. However, after excluding gasoline and automobiles, it only increased by 0.2%, and the control group only increased by 0.1%, which was lower than expected; gasoline stations contributed 71% of the increase in US dollars in September. The author believes that overall consumer spending growth is not as strong as the headline, with gasoline and restaurants being the main contributors.

    Editorial Comment

    The overall US retail sales in September exceeded expectations, mainly driven by gasoline sales. After excluding gasoline and automobiles, growth slowed down significantly. The control group fell short of expectations, indicating that consumption momentum is not widespread. Traders need to pay attention to the disruption of this data to the Fed's policy expectations and whether the subsequent core retail component will continue to be weak, which may affect the short-term reaction of the U.S. dollar and gold.

    U.S. initial jobless claims 199K, expected 200K

    Data from the U.S. Department of Labor showed that the number of initial jobless claims for the week ending October 10 was 199,000, an increase of 1,000 from the previously revised 198,000, still below 200,000; the number of continuing claims for unemployment benefits fell to 1,710,000, with the four-week average declining, and the overall job market changed little. The author analyzes that the layoffs are still limited and are not enough to push the Fed to further ease based on employment.

    Editorial Comment

    Although the initial applications data rebounded slightly, it was still below the 200,000 mark. The combination of continued applications and the four-week average fell, indicating that the job market has not deteriorated significantly. This reduces the urgency for the Federal Reserve to further ease due to weak employment, and poses a marginal constraint on the trading logic of interest-rate-sensitive gold and non-US currencies. In the future, we need to pay attention to whether the employment data can continue to verify resilience and the extent of its revision of the Fed's policy expectations.

    U.S. Treasury yields fall as investors flock to bonds amid selloff in tech stocks

    U.S. Treasury yields fell on Thursday, with the 10-year Treasury yield falling more than 13 basis points to 5.056%, as investors turned to bonds for safety amid a selloff in technology stocks. U.S. wholesale prices rose 6.3% year-on-year in September, the largest increase since 2022, and CPI rose 3.7% year-on-year, which was also higher than expected. The interest rate market expects to raise interest rates by at least 25 basis points before the end of the year, and expectations have not changed much.

    Editorial Comment

    U.S. bond yields fell as funds turned to safety amid the sell-off in technology stocks. At the same time, inflation data exceeded expectations but the interest rate market expected little change in interest rate hikes at the end of the year. This put gold in the context of a game between safe-haven demand and real interest rate expectations. The foreign exchange market needs to pay attention to whether the contraction in risk appetite changes the usual transmission of fluctuations in U.S. bond yields to the U.S. dollar, and the impact of changes in carry trade sentiment on major currency pairs.
