Committee decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by a quarter percentage point to 3.5 to 3.75%... With today's decision, we have lowered our policy rate three quarters of a percentage point over our last three meetings. Rate cuts imply lower policy rates, which typically put downward pressure on short-term yields and influence the yield curve; explicit action taken to lower rates.

yields

we judged it appropriate at this meeting to lower our policy rate by a quarter percentage point Rate cut decision based on shifted risk balance: upside inflation risks vs increased downside employment risks, with tariffs seen as temporary price shock rather than persistent inflation driver.

Committee decided to lower the target range for the Federal Funds rate by a quarter percentage point Rate cut decision implemented; forward guidance suggests policy now in neutral range with data-dependent approach for future moves, implying cautious downward pressure on short-term yields.

Today, the Federal Open Market Committee decided to lower our policy interest rate by a quarter percentage point. Rate cut decision indicates Fed is actively lowering short-term policy rates, which typically puts downward pressure on yields across the curve in the near term.

I hope they pause for a while and really assess where the economy is going... They're getting very close to neutral... continuing cutting is really moving policy into accommodation... they cannot continue to do that and move policy into a... accommodative stance. After the expected near-term cut, she advocates for a pause, implying policy rates (and thus yields) should stabilize as the Fed assesses the economy and maintains a somewhat restrictive stance to combat inflation.

Gold will do better as a diversifier. So it has the effect in such times of raising the returns and diversifying the portfolio. His bullish view is conditional on the macro risks he outlines (debt, currency devaluation, political/geopolitical conflict). He sees gold as a hedge that will appreciate when these risks materialize and hurt other assets.

Gold is being part of that... It's negatively correlated. It does very well in such bubbles... I would rather be short debt in a sense Dalio explicitly recommends gold as hedge against government debt problems and sees it performing well during bubble periods

Earnings revisions are just phenomenally strong. The runway to next year in terms of earnings growth is great. Our 7750 price target is likely not going to imply any multiple expansion Despite current volatility and debt concerns, maintains bullish S&P 7750 target based on strong earnings growth fundamentals

We calculated that about 20,000 tons price at $20,000 per ounce of gold would enable us to back all US Treasury bonds with gold Proposes gold revaluation from current $42/oz official price to $20,000/oz to back treasuries, implying massive gold price appreciation needed

2026 is probably going to be the year where a lot of people because I see retail investors buying ETFs that are leveraged... markets will have a very serious problem next year AI-induced deflationary depression, mass unemployment, leveraged ETF collapses, Bitcoin leading markets into abyss

We are still happy to buy gold, palladium, silver; gold buying is high this year catalyzed by distrust in U.S. government and related factors. Precious metals benefit from safe haven demand amid distrust in government and economic uncertainty.

Metals are indeed reacting quite aggressively to this AI story... This AI story is broadening much beyond what we could see with the MAG7... It is a power story, it is a metals story. AI-driven demand, especially from renewable energy and data centers, is boosting metals demand broadly, suggesting a strong positive trend medium term.

If you combine the job market data plus these private data on inflation, it seems that we are not for the time being going into a heating up scenario of inflation and that's probably a good thing for markets to see bond yields staying where they are. Cooling labor market data and meaningful drop in inflation suggest deflationary pressures and no immediate inflation heating, which supports downward or lower yields in the short term.

Optimistic that the government reopening will support data flow and investor sentiment soon. End of shutdown removes headwinds leading to short-term upward market movement.

The NASDAQ shows weakness with tech leading declines and is on track for worst week since April. Market participants reacting to valuation concerns and mixed economic data are favoring downside risk for Nasdaq in the short term.

yields

We have reduced interest rate sensitivity, pulled some from the front end of the yield curve, focusing on carry and lower duration. The funds rate could move slightly lower from current break even levels. Due to sticky inflation and moderating employment, central banks are likely to pause and possibly lower rates slightly, leading to cautious down yields in the medium term.

We strongly believe that demand fundamentals are healthy and strong with record demand growth this year and next year. We don't see a slowdown and expect oil and gas to continue to grow for decades. Strong and growing demand from multiple sectors and regions, shrinking storage levels, and the need to replace declining production with new investments imply upward price pressure on WTI in the medium term.

We strongly believe demand fundamentals are strong and healthy, with demand growth of 1.2 to 1.3 million barrels per day this year and next; supply-demand fundamentals are healthy with no oversupply; oil and gas will continue to grow for decades; investment is ongoing to maintain capacity and meet demand; hence oil prices (WTI) are expected to rise over the medium term. Sustained strong demand growth, supported by developing countries and offset of EV effects by other sectors, combined with supply constraints and necessary capital investment, underpin a bullish medium-term outlook for WTI.

I think we're looking at the Nasdaq hitting 25,000 to 30,000 in two to three years. I think we're going to be looking at tech stocks up 25% in the next few years, with some names up a lot more. Dan Ives believes the tech sector is undergoing a fourth industrial revolution with more spending in the next two years than the last decade, fueled by AI adoption, which supports a strong, multi-year tech bull market.

Today, the Federal Open Market Committee decided to lower our policy interest rate by a quarter percentage point. The cut is a direct policy action that lowers the short-term policy rate, which typically exerts downward pressure on the front-end of the yield curve. The cautious nature is implied by the emphasis that future cuts are not certain and policy is data-dependent.

We are seeing revenue traction and capex ramp-up in AI-related earnings reports driving the market higher; fundamentals are supportive and the AI theme continues to dominate positively. Strong earnings from tech giants and heavy AI investment by hyperscalers are boosting market sentiment and driving Nasdaq100 upwards in the short term; though concentration and bubble risks exist, current fundamentals and momentum justify a bullish outlook.
