  • Friday's US data releases provided a big bullish boost to markets. A quick follow-on to the dovish FOMC and QRA which lifted prices off the lows just the day before.
  • Employment data was weaker than expected across the board which dampens the fear of rising inflation (Non-Farm Payrolls at 175k v 240k, Unemployment Rate at 3.9% v 3.8%, Average Hourly Earnings MoM was 0.2% v 0.3%).
  • The stars are aligning with both the Fed and Treasury leaning dovish plus weaker data, which reopens the path for rates cuts this year.
  • US 2-Year Yields collapsed from over 5% to almost 4.7%! Does this mark the end of the rampaging USD dollar rally?
  • The crypto markets loved this, especially the BTC spot ETFs which saw net inflows across the board totaling $378.3m. Even GBTC was posting a positive inflow number for the first time!

Trade Ideas:

Don't fight the Fed. The Bullish ERKO Seagull strategy suggested on Thursday is already in-the money.
