$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$   📈 $SPX NEW ALL TIME HIGHS INCOMING? • Just like the seasonality proposed a very strong week last one before Sept OPEX with all 5 days closing green on the index and almost retracing back the entire dip of the previous week. • What I disliked about the close was the bulls not finishing the job and closing the bear gaps. • To invalidate my fear I would love to see a fill early Monday and have decent pull back into FOMC and rally back up to make new highs. That is SCENARIO 1. • The other way bulls can have a cleaner transition is bull gapping above the bear gaps and creating an island which will act as a cushion irrespective of the FOMC shenanigans. I prefer this SCENARIO 2 over

Michele Bullock, The RBA governor As the U.S. Federal Reserve moves closer to cutting interest rates, Australian borrowers might wonder what this means for them. Historically, economic moves in the U.S. tend to ripple across the globe, influencing policies in nations like Australia. While U.S. Fed Chair Jerome Powell signals rate cuts aimed at easing inflation and stimulating the economy, Australians hoping for similar relief might be disappointed. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), led by Governor Michele Bullock, has made it clear that rate cuts are unlikely in the near future. The Global Trend of Rate Cuts The U.S. is poised to join other major economies, including the UK, Canada, China, and New Zealand, in reducing interest rates. These cuts reflect a global trend toward easing mone

Here’s how a rate cut could affect my life and investment approach: Personal Finances: - Lower Borrowing Costs: Since I have a mortgage, a rate cut will reduce my monthly repayments, freeing up some cash. This extra cash could go toward saving, investing, or spending on other priorities. - Savings Impact: On the flip side, the interest I earn from my savings account or term deposits will likely go down, so I’ll need to rethink where to keep my short-term cash or emergency fund, as it won’t grow as much in the bank. Investments: - Stock Market: With rates going down, I expect the stock market to perform better since companies can borrow at lower costs, potentially boosting their profits. This might make me want to shift more towards growth stocks, especially in tech or co

As the Federal Reserve’s September meeting approaches, speculation is growing over the magnitude of the expected rate cut. While many traders are pricing in a quarter-point reduction, recent market movements suggest the possibility of a half-point cut is gaining traction. Amid mixed inflation signals and cooling labor market data, all eyes are on how the Fed will respond. This report also highlights developments from the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of Japan (BOJ), alongside key movements in precious metals and technology sectors. Federal Reserve Speculation and Inflation Data Fed Faces Tough Decision The Fed is set to make a critical decision next week, with the balance shifting toward a quarter-point rate cut.

Big-Tech’s PerformanceThis week's market was, in four words, a "comeback".After last week's jobs report, the entire market began to expect the first rate cut and priced in a different "recession or no recession".Risky and safe-haven assets took turns in the flow of funds, and as a result, volatility rose in the market.But this week's strength in tech stocks, such as Tesla's FSD expectation boost, Apple's launch superstar, and NVIDIA's Jen-Hsun Huang reiterating the market's strong demand for AI in his talk, have all rekindled investor sentiment towards tech companies.The market is now implying that the Fed, by December, will cut rates by 100 basis points, and by June next year by more than 200 basis points to around the 3% level.By the close of trading on September 12, big tech companies w
