Macro Overview — Market Cheers for 50 bps Cut

Source: Bloomberg

Crypto traders might be cheering on Wall Street traders after the Fed Chair's announcement of a half-point interest rate cut led to bullish sentiment in the markets. But as the Federal Reserve pivots to a more dovish stance, U.S. stocks reached record highs, supported by a robust labor market, but concerns about valuations pose a significant challenge.

Currently, market valuations are notably high, posing the risk of a correction if economic conditions shift unfavorably. Despite the rally, analysts warn that any major disappointment from major tech companies or an unexpected increase in inflation could negatively impact valuations.

This year, the S&P 500 has shown strong returns, but many stock valuation metrics, such as the Buffett Indicator, are at record highs, questioning sustainability as earnings growth must justify these high valuations. Moreover, while bond traders anticipate more aggressive interest rate cuts than the Fed, the economic data does not strongly support such measures.

Overall, despite the bullish market momentum, many strategists express caution, suggesting that the potential for a downturn remains significant, alongside a general sense of investor fear.

Weekly Crypto Highlight — Trump Introduces World Liberty Financial

A few months ago, the U.S. government targeted crypto projects, and now the former President is launching one. On September 16, 2024, Donald Trump introduced World Liberty Financial (WLFI) during a two-hour X Spaces session.

Trump's sons — Donald Jr., Eric and Barron — are at the forefront, with technical operations being led by Dough Finance co-founders Zachary Folkman and Chase Herro. Notably advising the team are Sandy Peng from Scroll and Luke Pearson from Polychain.

Details about the project are still vague, but it seems that WLFI aims to create a user-friendly DeFi interface, collaborating with Aave for lending services and possibly introducing a dollar-pegged stablecoin. The WLFI token will be available only to accredited investors, with 63% of the supply being allocated for public sale.

Skepticism arises as to why Trump is pursuing this venture amid his campaign. The Biden administration has been critical of crypto, and some view this as a cash grab, especially since the project is rumored to be linked to the recently hacked Dough Finance.

While the initiative could attract new interest in crypto, the team needs to clarify its purpose. For now, limited information is available, but updates can be followed through its X and Telegram accounts.

Bitcoin Spot ETF Flows

Strong inflows into Bitcoin Spot ETFs on Friday coincided with a remarkable surge in Bitcoin’s price, which has climbed above $64,000. This uptick follows the Federal Reserve's unexpected decision to cut interest rates by 50 basis points last Wednesday, which sent ripples throughout financial markets.

The combination of the Fed's rate cut and the positive sentiment surrounding Bitcoin Spot ETFs have created a perfect storm for the world’s largest cryptocurrency. Investors often perceive lower interest rates as an opportunity to seek higher returns in riskier assets like Bitcoin, leading to increased demand.
