The dollar's rise is backed by the Fed's hawkish stance and higher T-note yields. The Euro and yen's fall are due to lower inflation expectations, stagnant Q1 Eurozone GDP, and BOJ's negative interest rate policy. Precious metals fell due to the dollar's rally, higher global bond yields, and hawkish global central bank comments.
After the Federal Reserve expressed dovish comments, Wall Street banks are predicting a possible weakening of the US dollar. Nevertheless, some large banks have taken a different position than the general consensus and believe the US currency will grow stronger in the coming year.

I am with Goldman. I think that the lower borrowing costs coming from lower interest rates will decrease demand for the dollar and ultimately decrease its value. But if the US economy starts showing improvement, then that will strengthen the dollar. 2024 is going to be interesting.
Wednesday's FOMC meeting and Powell's dovish speech sent stock and bond markets into a frenzy. The decline in risk-free rates confirms the Goldilocks period, allowing many industries that have been suppressed by high interest rates to recover, and may change the pricing logic of many assets. ■ How Low Treasury Yields Can Go？ The benchmark 10-year yield slipped a further five basis points Thursday to as low as 3.97%, down from a peak of 5...
CPI Data Pushes Equity Investors Into a Buying Frenzy The CPI reading was the final push the market needed to fall back into a bull market. Yields are tanking with the dollar. This is bullish for equities in the "bad news is good news environment," equities are ripping, and gold is tagging along. I think it is safe to say that things are looking very bullish. Short premiums are crushed across the board. I believe that most of the market was expecting this suppressed...

Of course those tricky MMs don't want to pay anybody. Especially on mid month expirations. Usually there is a little volatility around those expiration dates. It is possible we might see a bit more volatility today, Wednesday, or Friday. Wednesday is the official monthly expiration but sometimes the rollover can happen before or after, like on a Friday. But it is a possibility that investors might have already rotated their contracts. After a crazy rally like we have seen, it makes me think a lot of capital has already moved around. So then the volatility might be just like any normal day.
We often speak about "that African nation currency" being devalued and many people running towards Crypto (or USD). Because we assume that a nation with a small (and often weak) economic area will face inflation consequences more rapidly than those called "developed nations". We get sad when out stock/crypto plummets -20%... Why don't we have the same reaction with FIAT? It's literally the same thing. I'm personally not invested more than 20% of my entire wealth into c...

Hahaha, nice one. Player 001 do not need any portfolio since he is the VIP of the game, plus he can influence the game. Also, he got so much money, probably can last for at least 10 times of his life span.
