This concentration of dominance reflects the historic weight of Kazakhstan, Russia, and their allied states in fueling the world’s nuclear reactors. But by 2030, the landscape looks very different. As Kazakhstan’s output declines and Canadian uranium mines ramp up production, the “Coalition of the Willing” is expected to close much of this gap. This shift marks more than just a resource rebalancing — it’s evidence that the West is finally waking up to the role of nuclear energy. For Western economies to meet surging energy demand while moving toward carbon-free power, nuclear must be at the center of the mix. Growing uranium production in Canada and allied nations signals a renewed commitment to nuclear as the clean, baseload energy source that will underpin the next phase of the energy transition.

Markets just received the report for the US JOLTS Job Openings, which came in at 7.227 million vs 7.190M expected – a modest upside surprise compared to the prior 7.184M. The JOLTS release is closely watched by participants as it offers an early signal on labor demand and hiring appetite, especially as the data gets released ahead of the Monthly NFP figures. The one thing to keep in mind however is that the data gets released for the prior month (this is the report for August). Today’s beat shows that, despite slowing momentum elsewhere in the economy, the US labor picture is not deteriorating. This resilience may again temper expectations for aggressive 2026 rate cuts, especially after last week’s strong Jobless Claims report. 5-year of JOLTS data, courtesy of Investing.com – September 30, 2025 Compared to the prior month’s reading, the slight uptick suggests companies are still holding onto hiring plans despite tariff pressures and a softer growth backdrop.

Gaming is a multi-billion-dollar industry, and yet, even with crypto leveling the field, regulation is critical. If there is clarity, especially in the United States, IMX crypto, the token behind the NFT-focused layer-2 for Ethereum, ImmutableX, could be the biggest beneficiary. As of September 30, IMX USD is steady, shaking off the weaknesses of the past year. The IMX crypto is up a decent +35% in the last month of trading, adding +3% in the previous week. However, IMX USDT is still in the red, losing -58% year-to-date. (Source: IMX USDT, TradingView) Zooming into the ImmutableX ecosystem, it is clear that users are still active despite the general decimation of NFTs after the boom in 2021. According to L2Beat, ImmutableX currently manages $35M worth of assets. It stood at nearly $295M in March 2024, but more assets have been withdrawn over the months. The good news is that ImmutableX total value locked (TVL) has been stable above $30M in the past three months. (Source: L2Beat) DISCOVER: Top 20 Crypto to Buy in 2025 Will IMX Crypto Pump Above $1? There is a direct correlation between TVL and price action. When IMX USDT spiked from the second half of 2023, its TVL also rose. From early July, IMX crypto prices have been trending higher, rallying from around $0.35 and peaking at $0.96 in September. The spike represented a near +300% surge. Market Cap 24h 7d 30d 1y All Time This uptrend is still valid, and as long as IMX USDT bulls trend above $0.50 and $0.65, there could be opportunities for buyers to push higher. As it is, the first target will be September highs and later $1. While reclaiming $1 would be a milestone, it will still be far from where IMX USD last traded in 2021. At peaks, IMX crypto soared to as high as $9.52 before tanking -92% to spot rates, per Coingecko data. (Source: Coingecko) On X, one analyst thinks the next target for optimistic IMX crypto bulls is $1.15 and later $2. In his analysis, he notes that IMX USDT reclaimed the 21-period EMA, clear in the weekly chart, before accumulating.

Dogecoin (DOGE) has been around since 2013, and from its all-time low until today, it has gained a whopping 250,000%. At its 2021 ATH, it was more than 800,000% gain! Although they bought in May 2015 and held? I don’t know, but if someone did – congratulations to them. Is another massive run coming in Q4 for the OG meme? Read along! Higher highs and higher lows are what we identify as an uptrend. It is really pretty to watch a chart develop this way. Actually, looking at the price chart on TradingView from the day of DOGE coin inception, it has been in a continuous uptrend to this day. DISCOVER: Best New Cryptocurrencies to Invest in 2025 DOGE Price Analysis: How is Dogecoin’s Current Price Trend Shaping Up on the HTF? (DOGEUSD) Let us begin our analysis with a broad perspective. Examining the 1W chart, we can observe a double-bottom formation over a period of about a year and a half, between June 2022 and October 2023. Since then, there have been two impulses, both in 2024 and 2025. We have mainly consolidated while sustaining the upward support level. A large volume on green days signals that buyers are strong, and the RSI has plenty of headroom to the upside. DISCOVER: Top Solana Meme Coins to Buy in 2025 (Source – TradingView, DOGEUSDT) The next step is to examine the 1D chart more closely. With ease, we spot the ascending channel, marked by 2 taps on the lower boundary and 3 taps on the top of the channel. Moving Averages have flipped into bullish order – white, green, and red. However, DOGE price remains below the MA50. Clean trading or charting with no mistakes is not human. But what are the chances that Dogecoin will retrace all the way down? Anything is possible; it is good to be prepared for multiple scenarios. However, the fact remains that the RSI appears to be poised for another leg up. DISCOVER: 16+ New and Upcoming Binance Listings in 2025 Is Dogecoin Price Preparing For a Run in Uptober? (Source – TradingView, DOGE USDT) Further zooming in to the 4H chart gives us extra details that matter. The borders of the ascending channel are still visible here and serve as a potentially good indicator for when the next leg higher is likely to occur. Both times the price pushed past the MA200, we witnessed a continued run. Currently being below the Moving Averages, and at the start of a new accumulation, it is good to sit on our hands for a while. Or at least until we see signs of reversal. At this point, the DOGE price is in the middle of the range, and I would not enter a position unless I see a new higher low form. Market Cap 24h 7d 30d 1y All Time Usually, October brings significant gains, and with the RSI being reset here, we might see a break of this DOGE price channel in the coming days and weeks.

Bitcoin is once again trading at a critical juncture after a sharp Monday rally pushed the price above the $114,000 level. The surge comes as bulls attempt to counteract days of persistent selling pressure, with momentum beginning to tilt back in their favor. This move marks a potential turning point in the market, signaling that investors are testing whether Bitcoin can hold above this key threshold and establish it as a new base for higher gains. Supporting this view, fresh on-chain data from CryptoQuant highlights a notable development in short-term holder behavior. The Short-Term Holder Spent Output Profit Ratio (STH SOPR) has reset to 1, a crucial equilibrium level. At this point, the average sale by short-term holders is occurring at their cost basis, suggesting neither widespread profit-taking nor capitulation. Instead, the market is balanced, with buyers and sellers meeting in a zone of neutrality. This equilibrium often precedes decisive market moves. A sustained push higher could validate the bulls’ efforts to regain control, while failure to hold above $114,000 risks opening the door to renewed downward pressure. Traders and analysts alike are watching closely, as Bitcoin’s next move could define the tone for the weeks ahead. SOPR Signals Market Equilibrium Top analyst Axel Adler highlighted the importance of the Short-Term Holder Spent Output Profit Ratio (STH SOPR) in assessing Bitcoin’s current market state. According to Adler, when this metric hovers around 1, momentum tends to slow because of the delicate balance between buyers and sellers. Any push above the 1 threshold quickly shifts yesterday’s breakeven holders into profitable territory. As a result, many short-term investors seize the opportunity to sell, which injects additional selling pressure into the market and dampens the strength of upward moves. Adler explained that this dynamic often creates a self-limiting environment for rallies. As Bitcoin rises, more short-term holders lock in gains, fueling waves of profit-taking that prevent the price from sustaining higher levels. This cyclical pattern highlights why the 1.0 mark on SOPR is often referred to as an “equilibrium” zone: it represents the point where the market resets, and short-term participants face little incentive to either capitulate or aggressively accumulate. For the broader trend to truly accelerate, Adler emphasized the need for a decisive breakout above this equilibrium. Specifically, he noted that a consistent rise in SOPR above 1.002 for several consecutive days would signal a shift in sentiment. Such a development would indicate that sellers are no longer overwhelming the market with profit-taking, allowing buying momentum to build and sustain higher price levels. Until then, Bitcoin remains at risk of choppy, range-bound action, with rallies vulnerable to short-term selling pressure. This perspective underscores the importance of closely tracking SOPR in the coming sessions. While the recent move above $114,000 has revived bullish hopes, the data suggests that without a clear breakout in this critical metric, Bitcoin may struggle to generate lasting momentum. Bitcoin Tests Resistance as Bulls Eye $117,500 Bitcoin is currently trading around $113,400 after briefly climbing above $114,800 earlier in the session. The chart shows that the $117,500 level, marked in yellow, remains a critical resistance zone that has capped multiple rallies since mid-August. Bulls will need a decisive close above this area to confirm renewed upside momentum. The 50-day moving average (blue) is now acting as near-term resistance, while the 100-day moving average (green) is serving as support. The price recently bounced from this zone, suggesting buyers are attempting to re-establish control. However, the wider structure still reflects consolidation, with BTC trapped between the $110,000 support region and the $117,500 ceiling. The 200-day moving average (red), currently trending around $102,500, remains far below spot price and continues to provide a strong base for the longer-term trend. Until BTC clears the $117,500 barrier, rallies risk fading into selling pressure, keeping price action choppy. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin recently offloaded billions in meme coins. This has brought back memories of how Buterin handled the Shiba Inu tokens that SHIB’s founder Ryoshi sent to him back in 2021. Ethereum Founder Offloads Billions Of Meme Coins On-chain analytics platform Onchain Lens revealed in an X post that the Ethereum founder had sold 150 billion PUPPIES for 28.58 ETH ($114,480) and 1 billion ERC20 for $13,889 USDC. These are tokens that Vitalik received for free, as meme coin teams and the community are known for sending coins to the Ethereum founder. This practice dates to as far back as 2021, when the Shiba Inu founder Ryoshi sent 500 trillion SHIB tokens, which represented half of the meme coin’s total supply. The Ethereum founder famously burned 450 trillion coins by sending them to a dead wallet, while he donated the remaining 50 trillion coins to help fight the COVID-19 pandemic at the time. Since then, Vitalik has adopted a similar approach for every meme coin he receives. The Ethereum founder usually sells these coins and then donates the proceeds to charity. He had mentioned last year that he would truly prefer if these coins were sent directly to charity. Vitalik further advised community members to consider setting up a DAO and getting community members directly involved in decision-making. The Ethereum founder added that the best thing for meme coins is if they can be maximally positive-sum for the world, and that it will be great to see moments when that actually happens. However, these transfers to Vitalik are often viewed as a means for these meme coins to increase their visibility. Vitalik’s move with the SHIB tokens undoubtedly contributed to putting Shiba Inu in the spotlight. He burned those tokens just as the meme coin went on its legendary run in 2021, reaching its current all-time high (ATH) of $0.00008845 in the process. A Peek Into Vitalik’s Public Wallet Arkham data shows that the Ethereum founder still has more meme coins in his pubic wallet, which he received from community members. His largest meme coin holding is currently Moodeng, which he holds 30 billion coins worth $518,000. Meanwhile, his largest crypto holding in value remains ETH. Vitalik holds 240,000 ETH worth just over $1 billion. The Ethereum founder regained his on-chain billionaire status following ETH’s break above $4,000 last month. ETH eventually reached a new ATH in the process, which caused Vitalik’s wealth to surge briefly. However, the largest altcoin is currently struggling to hold above the psychological $4,000 level amid the recent crypto market downtrend. At the time of writing, the Ethereum price is trading at around $4,200, up over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Cornish Metals (TSX-V, AIM: CUSN) said on Tuesday its South Crofty tin project in Cornwall, UK, carries an after-tax net present value (NPV6) of £180 million ($235 million) and an internal rate of return of 20%. The updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) outlines a 14-year mine life producing 49,168 tonnes of tin, with average annual output of about 4,700 tonnes between years two and six, which is equivalent to 1.6% of global mined tin. The company estimates a 3.3-year payback period, cumulative after-tax cash flow of £558 million ($750 million), and annual EBITDA of £70 million with margins above 60%. Pre-production capital stands at £198 million with sustaining capital at £43 million. The all-in sustaining cost is pegged at about $13,400 per tonne in years two through six, placing the project in the lowest quartile globally. EBITDA is forecast at £70 million annually during the same period, with margins above 60%. Cornish Metals has already begun site works, including shaft and pump station refurbishment, process plant site excavation, and construction of a workshop and utilities. Long-lead equipment such as production and service winders has been ordered. The company says first production is targeted for mid-2028. The company accelerated the project following a £57 million fundraise earlier this year that brought in the UK’s National Wealth Fund and further backing from Vision Blue Resources. The review was led by Cornish Metals’ strengthened management team and supported by consultants Technical Management Group and Worley. Chief executive Don Turvey said the PEA marked a key step for South Crofty as Cornish advances towards first tin production. “The project is already in construction and positioned to become a long-life, low-cost producer,” Turvey said. Beyond economics Cornish Metals highlighted the project’s role in UK supply chain security and its ESG profile. South Crofty will run on 100% renewable electricity, generate no surface tailings, and is expected to directly employ more than 300 people and create about 1,000 indirect jobs. A training centre is planned to upskill local workers. Exploration upside remains significant, the company said. The mine’s resource is open at depth and along strike, with a near-mine exploration target of 6 to 13 million tonnes grading 0.5% to 1.8% tin. Historically, South Crofty consistently replaced mined tonnes, and Cornish Metals plans to restart underground drilling alongside construction to extend mine life. Historical production Cornish Metals has spent nine years advancing the restart of South Crofty, which closed in 1998 after more than four centuries of near-continuous operation. It was Europe’s last tin mine when it closed down. Attempts to revive it between 2001 and 2013 faltered under weak market conditions, leaving the asset in administration until Cornish Metals stepped in. The new operation is projected to produce 49,310 tonnes of tin concentrate over its life, peaking above 5,000 tonnes in year four. The company already holds an underground mining licence valid until 2071 and an environmental permit to dewater the mine.

China has ordered its steelmakers and traders to suspend purchases of dollar-denominated seaborne iron ore from BHP (ASX: BHP) as annual price talks stall. The directive from China Mineral Resources Group (CMRG), the state-run buyer created in 2020 to strengthen Beijing’s hand in global negotiations, blocks new contracts, even for cargoes already en route from Australia, Bloomberg News reported. Talks between BHP and CMRG have so far failed to produce an agreement, with the dispute believed to centre on discounts applied to BHP’s medium-grade ore. BHP, the world’s largest mining company, is China’s third-biggest iron ore supplier after Rio Tinto (ASX: RIO) and Vale (NYSE: VALE). The company declined to confirm the order but said shipments from Western Australia’s Port Hedland remain uninterrupted. Analysts suggested the suspension is a bargaining tactic. “We view this ‘ban’ as more of a negotiating strategy, most likely an effort to secure lower long-term prices,” RBC wrote in a note Tuesday. Market tensions Analysts also said diverting purchases to rivals Rio Tinto, Vale or Fortescue (ASX: FMG) could prove costlier and strengthen miners’ pricing power as mills compete for supply. Tom Price of Panmure Liberum noted the move reflects Beijing’s growing confidence: “Would China have done this a decade ago, when it heavily depended on imports? No way.” The timing is expected to have minimal short-term impact on Chinese mills, which have built up inventories ahead of national holidays. Still, the standoff underscores tensions in the global iron ore market as slowing demand weighs on prices. BHP reported in August its lowest annual profit in five years and cut exploration spending, as slowing Chinese demand weighed on iron ore prices. (With files from Bloomberg, Reuters)

BNB crypto has been making moves in September, and so it is only right that the BNB price prediction for October would be more bullish. Thus far, the BNB price is steady above $1,000, reversing losses of September 25, and setting the foundation for more gains, possibly above $250. Even with BNB crypto flying above $1,000, it is yet to flip the resurgent XRP crypto. Perched at third, XRP USD is also trending higher and might close above $3. Still, attention is on the BNB USD price action, which has so far rewarded HODLers with attractive ROIs. (Source: Coingecko) To put the numbers in perspective, the BNB USD price is up nearly +74% year-to-date, adding nearly +20% in the last month. Although there were sharp losses last week, BNB crypto bulls stepped in, pushing the coin higher, reversing losses, and aligning the BNB USDT price action with the better part of Q3 2025.

He argues that DOGE’s retracement has unfolded on dwindling participation—a setup that historically precedes outsized upside once even modest buy-side flows return. Dogecoin Coiling For An Upside Explosion “Having a hard time breaking above the 0.618 over here,” he says of Dogecoin’s primary Fibonacci retracement barrier on the higher-timeframe chart, while also noting that price remains pinned beneath the weekly Ichimoku cloud. Despite those headline resistances, he characterizes the tape as constructive: “It’s basically been breaking trendline after trendline.” In his reading, each successive downtrend break—occurring against a backdrop of fading volume—tilts the probabilities toward an eventual reversal impulse. “All this downtrend was on declining volume. So you know that all it takes is just a little bit of volume to reverse this downtrend,” he explains. “Whenever this trendline gets broken and some volume kicks in, you just end up going a lot higher.” Cantonese Cat frames the current phase as an inflection: “Same thing over here. You have a downtrend here on low volume and all it takes is just a little bit [of] volume here and this downtrend here can be reversed. And it certainly looks like it’s in the process of doing that right now as we speak.” In other words, even without a wholesale shift in market liquidity, incremental demand could be sufficient to flip momentum and squeeze price through nearby resistance. The analyst’s constructive stance rests on a confluence of technical factors rather than a single trigger. On DOGE, he highlights repeated trendline violations and methodical back-tests that held, which in his framework are precursors to impulsive continuation. He also points to the importance of establishing and maintaining support in the current zone: “I think it’s going to go a lot higher, especially once it’s able to find support here at this particular zone.” The immediate hurdles remain unchanged—namely the 0.618 retracement cap and the weekly Ichimoku cloud ceiling—but he suggests that price acceptance above these bands would confirm a regime shift from distribution to markup. Broader Market Context Is Supportive Context from the broader market reinforces his DOGE view. Cantonese Cat links Dogecoin’s setup to improving higher-timeframe conditions across crypto. He notes that Bitcoin reclaimed a key level after a brief scare around its 20-week moving average and closed back above a horizontal level on his daily Gann framework, tilting his near-term bias higher “as long as price is about 112,000.” Ethereum, he adds, has “basically broken through the 0.86… finally this cycle” and successfully back-tested the breakout, a formation he does not consider bearish. He further cites the OTHERS index—total crypto market cap ex-top-10—breaking above the weekly Ichimoku cloud and back-testing it, with the Tenkan rising. In his words, those signals “probably [are] going to push the cryptocurrency market cap higher,” while the recent sequence of candles hints at the potential for continuation: “Maybe a little bit of a rising three, maybe a little bit of a bullish engulfing candle next week to push things higher.” Taken together, the mosaic reads like a coiled spring for Dogecoin: a series of descending-trend breaks on thinning volume, sticky higher-timeframe resistance that has repeatedly absorbed tests, and a market-wide backdrop that is turning incrementally supportive. The catalyst, in Cantonese Cat’s view, may not require a dramatic shift in macro liquidity. “Just a little bit of volume” could be enough to force a violent repricing if sellers are depleted and momentum thresholds give way. He concludes with a conditional but confident stance: “I remain bullish until otherwise proven at support.” For Dogecoin, that translates to a simple playbook. Hold the current base, attract even modest incremental volume, and convert the 0.618 retracement and the weekly cloud from resistance into support. If that transition occurs, the analyst believes the next phase could unfold “in a hurry”—a characteristic that has defined DOGE’s historical rallies once technical lids finally blow off. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.233.

The USD/JPY pair is losing support at the technically important 200-day simple moving average (SMA). However, oscillators on the daily chart still remain in positive territory, which continues to favor the bulls. That said, any further upward movement will face resistance near this same 200-day SMA, currently aligned with the 148.40 level. Beyond this, the next key obstacle is the psychological 148.00 level. A sustained break above it would confirm a positive outlook, allowing spot prices to attempt another move toward the psychological 150.00 level, with intermediate resistance at the 149.00 round level and at 149.45. On the other hand, a move below the round level would negate any short-term positive sentiment, leaving USD/JPY vulnerable to an accelerated decline toward 147.50, to the psychological 147.00 level. A decisive break below this mark would shift the short-term outlook in favor of the bears. The material has been provided by InstaForex Company - www.instaforex.com

On Tuesday, the EUR/USD pair continues to rise for the third consecutive day. Earlier, prices rebounded from the 1.1645 level, last week's low, amid a weakening U.S. dollar driven by concerns over a potential government funding lapse that could occur on Wednesday, October 1. At the same time, negative market sentiment and weak economic data from the eurozone are limiting the euro's gains. U.S. President Donald Trump's talks with congressional leaders from both parties on Monday ended, as expected, without concrete results. Vice President J.D. Vance confirmed that the government is indeed preparing for a shutdown. This would lead to delays in the release of key data from the U.S. Department of Labor and the Department of Commerce, including Nonfarm Payrolls — the crucial Friday jobs report, which could negatively affect economic growth. In addition, on Monday Trump heightened market tensions by announcing a new round of tariffs. Beginning October 14, 10% tariffs will be imposed on imports of softwood lumber and 25% duties on foreign-made kitchen cabinets, vanities, upholstered furniture, as well as tariffs on trucks and patented pharmaceuticals, which will take effect the following day. In the eurozone, German retail sales declined for the second consecutive month in August. Attention remains focused on German CPI (Consumer Price Index) data for September, to be released ahead of a speech by European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde. As for the U.S., the key events of the day will be the publication of job openings data, the consumer sentiment index for August, and a speech by Donald Trump. From a technical standpoint, the pair is attempting to break through resistance at the confluence of the 9- and 14-day EMAs, aiming for the next barrier around 1.1770, above which lies the psychological 1.1800 level. Clearing this level would open the path toward the September high, though with some hurdles along the way. Support for the pair is at the Asian session low around 1.1710, followed by the psychological 1.1700 level. Failure to hold this would mean bulls completely losing control to bears. The table below shows percentage changes in the euro against major global currencies, where the euro recorded its largest gains against the U.S. dollar.

Global markets edge higher as dollar slipsMonday's trading session opened on an upbeat note, with global stocks moving higher while the US dollar lost ground. Investors are weighing the potential impact of a looming government shutdown, which could delay the release of crucial economic indicators, including September's jobs report. Gold hits all-time highAs the dollar weakens and uncertainty builds, market participants are increasingly turning to safe-haven assets. Gold prices surged to a record peak, highlighting concerns over the possible fallout from a shutdown in Washington. White House prepares for key talksPresident Donald Trump is scheduled to meet congressional leaders from both parties on Monday in an effort to secure a deal on government funding. Without an agreement, the shutdown could begin as early as Wednesday — coinciding with the introduction of new US tariffs on heavy trucks, patented medicines, and other goods. Investors remain cautiously optimisticDespite the looming threat, analysts note that investors are not showing signs of panic. The last shutdown had only a limited and short-lived effect on equity markets, which is helping maintain confidence this time around. Indices climb across the boardUS benchmarks finished the day in positive territory: the S&P 500 rose 0.3 percent, the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.5 percent, and the Dow Jones added 0.2 percent. Globally, the MSCI All-World Index advanced 0.4 percent. In Europe, the STOXX 600 index edged up 0.2 percent, closing September with a 1.1 percent gain — its third consecutive month of growth. Markets eye Fed rate cutsTraders are almost certain that the Federal Reserve will move toward easing monetary policy in October, with odds of a rate cut estimated at about 90 percent. Looking ahead to December, expectations are more moderate, with roughly 65 percent anticipating another reduction. Shutdown impact seen as limitedAnalysts at Bank of America calculated that a government shutdown would shave only 0.1 percentage point off economic growth for every week it lasts. Historically, such disruptions have had little effect on financial markets. Still, they warn that permanent job losses in the public sector could deal a heavier blow to payrolls and consumer confidence. A busy week for central bankersThis week will be rich in policy signals. On Monday alone, at least five officials from the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank are scheduled to deliver remarks. Currency shifts under pressure The US dollar slipped by 0.2 percent to 97.945, weighed down by last week's strong economic data. The euro advanced 0.2 percent to 1.17255 dollars but remains in the lower half of its recent trading range between 1.1646 and 1.1918. The yen also gained strength, with the dollar falling 0.6 percent to 148.6 yen after climbing more than 1 percent last week and rebounding from September's low near 145.50. Gold shines at record highsIn commodities, gold once again took the spotlight. Prices surged to a historic peak of 3833.37 dollars an ounce before easing slightly to 3828.17 dollars, still marking a solid 1.8 percent gain. Oil prices tumble as Iraqi flows returnGlobal crude prices dropped sharply after oil shipments from Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan region to Turkey resumed for the first time in two and a half years. The restart of exports became the main driver of downward pressure on the market. OPEC+ expected to boost supplyAnalysts anticipate that during its upcoming meeting on Sunday, OPEC+ will approve another production increase of at least 137,000 barrels per day. Brent futures fell 3.5 percent to 67.68 dollars a barrel, while US benchmark WTI slid 3.8 percent to 63.21 dollars. European stocks edge lowerOn Tuesday, European equities opened in negative territory. Energy and healthcare shares were among the biggest losers, while investors also weighed the potential fallout from a US government shutdown that could delay key economic data releases. STOXX 600 slips but quarterly growth intactThe pan-European STOXX 600 index declined 0.2 percent to 554.7 points by early morning in London. Still, September is on track to mark the third consecutive month of gains, with quarterly growth exceeding 2 percent. Energy and healthcare under pressureOil and gas majors retreated 0.8 percent in line with falling crude prices. Shares of TotalEnergies and BP each dropped by more than 1 percent. Healthcare stocks also lost ground, with the sector index down 0.3 percent. Denmark's Novo Nordisk and Britain's AstraZeneca both slipped by about 1 percent. Mixed economic signals across EuropeEconomic updates offered a mixed picture. The UK economy expanded 0.3 percent in the second quarter. In France, preliminary September inflation came in at 1.1 percent. Germany, however, reported an unexpected decline in retail sales in August. ASOS shares plungeOne of the day's biggest movers was ASOS. The British online fashion retailer saw its stock sink 11.4 percent after warning that annual revenue will fall short of market expectations.

US stock market maintains resilienceThe US stock market remains resilient amid the absence of fear over new tariffs and a potential government shutdown. Despite high P/E ratios, especially among companies such as Robinhood, foreign investors continue to actively invest in US equities, driving the S&P 500 to a new record. Experts note that high liquidity and rising share buybacks sustain optimism in the market. Nevertheless, caution persists over the potential impact of political factors on corporate earnings. Follow the link for more details. Indices rise on investor optimismUS stock indices advanced on September 29, with the S&P 500 gaining 0.26% and the Nasdaq 100 up 0.48%. Investment optimism continues to grow despite the threat of a shutdown, while expectations of economic stimulus measures keep investor interest in the technology sector strong. Analysts note that positive corporate earnings and inflation forecasts also contribute to improved market sentiment. In addition, investor focus remains on upcoming labor market data, which could set the tone for the further trajectory of stock indices. Follow the link for more details.

On Monday, the EUR/USD pair continued its upward movement after rebounding from the support zone of 1.1637–1.1645. Thus, the rise of the European currency may continue today toward the resistance zone of 1.1789–1.1802. A close of the pair below the 1.1695 level would favor the U.S. currency and a return to the 1.1637–1.1645 level. The wave picture on the hourly chart remains simple and clear. The last completed downward wave broke the low of the previous wave, while the new upward wave did not break the previous low. Therefore, the trend remains bearish for now. Recent labor market data and shifting prospects for Federal Reserve monetary policy support bullish traders, which means the trend may start to change again this week. For the bearish trend to end, the price needs to consolidate above the last peak at 1.1819. On Monday, the news background for the euro and the dollar was relatively weak. However, the looming threat of a U.S. government shutdown still influences bearish sentiment. A shutdown means a temporary suspension of the work of all government structures, including federal agencies. It does not imply a government collapse but rather the suspension of certain agencies due to lack of funding when Congress fails to agree on spending for the new fiscal year. That is precisely what is happening now in America. A shutdown itself is not a threat to economic stability, but it is still a negative development. Traders dislike such news because confidence in the government decreases when it cannot even approve the federal budget. Under Donald Trump, reaching agreements has been particularly difficult and often unsuccessful. Many experts expect this shutdown to last for a long time, with little chance of Republicans and Democrats reaching an agreement soon. On the 4-hour chart, the pair reversed in favor of the euro near the 1.1680 level. Thus, the upward movement may resume toward the 161.8% corrective level at 1.1854. A close of the pair below 1.1680 would favor the U.S. dollar and allow for further decline toward the 127.2% Fibonacci level at 1.1495. No emerging divergences are currently observed. Commitments of Traders (COT) Report: During the last reporting week, professional players closed 789 long positions and opened 2,625 short positions. The sentiment of the "Non-commercial" group remains bullish thanks to Donald Trump and is strengthening over time. The total number of long positions held by speculators now amounts to 252,000, while short positions are at 138,000—almost a twofold difference. Also, note the large number of green cells in the table above, showing strong increases in euro positions. In most cases, interest in the euro continues to grow while interest in the dollar declines. For thirty-three consecutive weeks, large players have been reducing short positions and increasing long positions. Donald Trump's policies remain the most significant factor for traders, as they may cause many long-term structural problems for the U.S. economy. Despite the signing of several important trade agreements, many key economic indicators continue to show declines. News calendar for the U.S. and the Eurozone: Eurozone – Change in retail trade volumes in Germany (06:00 UTC). Eurozone – Unemployment rate in Germany (07:55 UTC). Eurozone – Change in the number of unemployed in Germany (07:55 UTC). Eurozone – Consumer Price Index in Germany (12:00 UTC). Eurozone – Speech by ECB President Christine Lagarde (12:55 UTC). U.S. – Change in JOLTS job openings (14:00 UTC). On September 30, the economic calendar contains six events, at least half of which can be considered important. Market sentiment on Tuesday will be influenced by the news background. EUR/USD forecast and trading advice: Sales of the pair were possible on a close below the support level of 1.1789–1.1802 on the hourly chart with targets at 1.1695 and 1.1637–1.1645. All targets have been reached. New sales will be possible on a close below 1.1695 with a target at 1.1637–1.1645. Purchases were possible after a rebound from the 1.1637–1.1645 level with targets at 1.1695 and 1.1789–1.1802. These trades can remain open today with stop-losses moved to breakeven. Fibonacci grids are built between 1.1789–1.1392 on the hourly chart and 1.1214–1.0179 on the 4-hour chart. The material has been provided by InstaForex Company - www.instaforex.com

Overview: The US dollar is mostly softer against the G10 currencies and emerging market currencies. The hawkish hold by the Reserve Bank of Australia has helped lift the Australian dollar almost 0.5% to a four-day high above $0.6700. The Japanese yen is up nearly as much despite poor industrial production and retail sales data. A US federal government shutdown looks nearly inevitable at this juncture. The US also announced 10% tariffs om softwood timber and lumber, as well as a 25% tax on kitchen cabinets, vanities, and upholstered wood products. Some will take place as soon as October 14, others not until January 1. Canada is the most exposed and is already subject to 35.2% duty meant to counter alleged subsidies and unfair pricing. Equities were mostly firmer in the Asia Pacific regions, but South Korea, Australia, and Index markets traded lower. Europe's Stoxx 600 is nursing a small loss, and US index futures are around 0.15%-0.25% lower. Note that a third of the S&P500 are in a blackout period ahead of earnings when they can no longer buy back their own shares. By mid-October, it will rise to around 80%-85%. Benchmark 10-year yields are narrowly mixed in Europe, while the 10-year US Treasury yield is off a little more than a basis point to slightly below 4.13%. Gold is reversing lower after setting a new record high of almost $3871. It has now slipping through $3800. November WTI extended yesterday's nearly 3.5% drop and is off another 1% today. It fell to $62.45 after finishing last week a little above $65.70. USD: The Dollar Index extended last Friday's pullback yesterday to slightly below 97.80 today to nearly 97.65, where the 20-day moving average is found. It met the (38.2%) retracement of the rally since the Fed's rate cut on September 17. The next retracement (50%) is near 97.40. The US sees house prices, JOLTS, and the Conference Board's survey but with a federal government shutdown looming at midnight the date may be of secondary concern. Still, FHFA house prices may have fallen for the fourth consecutive month in July and the S&P Cotality CS index of house prices may have slowed to post its smallest increase in two years. The Conference Board's measure of consumer confidence likely ticked down. Still, despite the slowing of the labor market, elevated household debt stress levels, weakening consumer confidence, and slower wealth creation from home ownership, the consumption has been remarkably resilient. In last week's Q2 GDP revisions, consumption rose 2.5% annualized, up from 1.6% initially, and 0.6% in Q1. And in the three months through August, personal consumption expenditures rose by more than income. EURO: With yesterday's gains, the euro met the (38.2%) retracement of its losses since the September 17 FOMC meeting (~$1.1750). It has made a marginal new high today near $1.1760. The next retracement (50%) is slightly above $1.1780. The data focus is two-fold: September inflation and August consumption data from Germany and France. German states have already reported their CPI figures, and the national EU harmonized measure is seen rising by 0.1% for a 2.2% year-over-year pace. France's EU harmonized CPI rose 1.1% year-over-year from 0.8% in August. Italy's CPI edged up to 1.8% from 1.6%. Turning to the consumption data, Germany retail sales unexpectedly decline by 0.2% (median forecast in Bloomberg's survey was for a 0.6% increase) after it declined by 0.5% in July. French consumer spending rose 0.1%. It fell by 0.6% in July (initially -0.3%). The swaps market shows the market recognition that the bar to another cut is extremely high, with around 10% chance for Q4 25 and about a 34% chance in H1 26. CNY: The dollar's setback yesterday saw it give back nearly half of the gains it recorded since the FOMC meeting. That retracement objective was about CNH7.1165 and the low was slightly above CNH7.1185. Last week's low was around CNH7.1115. It is consolidating quietly today between about CNH7.1250 and CNH7.1330. The PBOC set the dollar's reference rate at CNY7.1055 (CNY7.1089 yesterday). China's extended holiday begins tomorrow, and the markets do not re-open until October 9. The next big event is the plenum session (October 20-23). Out of it will emerge the general thrust of the next five-year plan (2026-2030). Ahead of the holiday, China's September PMIs were reported. The takeaway was the manufacturing, and services activity was little changed. The manufacturing PMI is at 49.8 (from 49.4) and the services PMI is at 50.0 (from 50.3). The composite stands at 50.6 (from 50.5). The former Caixin PMI (now RatingDog) runs a bit better than the official one and the composite is 52.5 (from 51.9). The impact on the yuan and Chinese stocks seemed minimal. There are more press articles foreign demand for Chinese equities. China's CSI 300 rose 17.9% in Q3, which was one of the world's top performers. The index of mainland companies that trade in Hong Kong rose by about 10.1%. JPY: The dollar's low yesterday, slightly below JPY148.50, was seen in early European turnover. It reached JPY147.80 in the North American session. The dollar's losses have been extended to about JPY147.85 today. The (50%) retracement of the dollar's rally after the Fed's rate cut on September 17 is slightly below JPY147.75 and the (61.8%) retracement is around JPY147.20. The yen's gains today come despite disappointing data. Japan reported that August industrial production fell by 1.2% in August, the same as July. It is the fourth decline in the past five months, and the two-month contraction is the largest since January-February 2024. August retail sales were expected to rise by 1.1% and instead fell by the same amount after sliding 1.6% in July. It is the worst two months since the pandemic. Nevertheless, the swaps market has increased marginally the likelihood of a BOJ hike before the end of the year to a little more than 80%. The data highlight this week is the Tankan Survey first thing tomorrow. It is expected to be little changed. Meanwhile, the political drama is unfolding. With no candidate likely to secure a majority in the first round of the LDP leadership election on Saturday, a run-off looks likely between Koizumi and Takaichi. Takaichi lost last year's run-off against Ishida. Koizumi is running as a reform candidate, while Takaichi, more conservative, would be Japan's first woman prime minister. GBP: Yesterday, sterling reached a little above $1.3455 to meet the (61.8%) retracement of last week's losses. Yet, it held below last Thursday's high (~$1.3465) and the (38.2%) retracement of the losses since the FOMC meeting on September 17 (~$1.3480). Today's high, set in early European turnover was just shy of yesterday's high. Initial support is seen around $1.3400-20 now. The UK took another look at Q2 GDP and confirmed the 0.3% quarter-over-quarter gain. Government spending helped offset the near stagnant consumption and widening of the current account deficit. The drag from total business investment was not as bad as it initially appeared (-1.1% vs. -4.0% quarter-over-quarter). The median forecast in Bloomberg's survey is for 0.2% growth in Q3 and Q4. The swaps market has the Bank of England on hold until Q1 26, when it has a nearly 74% chance of a cut discounted. CAD: Between the FOMC meeting and last Friday's high, the greenback rallied about 1.7% against the Canadian dollar. It reached almost CAD1.3960 before the weekend, its best level in four months. Yesterday's pullback extended to nearly CAD1.3900. It is holding above yesterday's lows but has been capped near CAD1.3925. Initial support is seen in the CAD1.3885-CAD1.3900 area. It may take a break of CAD1.3870 to boost chances that a high is in place. Coming into today, the Canadian dollar is off about 1.33% for the month. Only the New Zealand dollar has performed worse (~-1.8%) among the G10 currencies. As we have observed, the Canadian dollar is typically a laggard in a weak greenback environment. Also, the swaps market has about an 80% chance of another Bank of Canada rate cut this year and sees the October 29 meeting as nearly a 50/50 proposition. The odds of a Federal Reserve rate cut are seen near 90%. AUD: The Australian dollar fell to almost $0.6520 before the weekend. It settled slightly above $0.6540 and approached $0.6580 yesterday. It has risen to almost $0.6615 today, which meets the met the (50%) retracement of last week's decline from the September 17 peak (slightly above $0.6705) Australia reported a 0.6% increase in private sector credit in August, and the strength of consumption is part of the reason that the central bank had telegraphed today's decision to keep cash rate target steady at 3.60%. RBA Governor Bullock again sounded a cautious tone and noted that inflation was not slowing as quickly as it was. The futures market had about a 70% chance of another cut in Q4 before today's meeting and has downgraded the probability to close to 50%. The swaps market has a terminal rate of about 3.25% discounted. MXN: The dollar briefly traded below MXN18.30 yesterday, its lowest level since the day after the Federal Reserve cut rates on September 17. It stabilized and dollar settled back inside the pre-weekend range. The greenback is trading quietly between MXN18.3280 and MXN18.3835 so far today. Through yesterday, Latam currencies were three of the top five emerging market currencies this month. The other two, South African rand and Hungarian forint are also high yielders. However, the high yields failed to lift the Turkish lira, which fell by about 1% against the dollar. Yesterday, the Argentine peso snapped a five-day advance. After reporting a small rise in August unemployment (2.93% vs. 2.77%) yesterday, Mexico's economic calendar is light today with its August budget due. Mexico projects a small primary budget surplus this year (budget balance excluding debt servicing costs). After last week's rate cut (to 7.50%), the swaps market appears to be pricing another cut in Q4 and one more in Q1 26. We suspect the terminal rate may be 6.50%-7.00%, a bit lower than is discounted by the swaps market. Disclaimer

A shutdown of the US federal government is becoming practically unavoidable as Congress is unable to reach a budget agreement. In the coming hours, a halt in federal operations may destabilize the economy, delay the release of key macroeconomic data, and increase volatility in financial markets. We analyze the causes of the standoff, potential crisis scenarios, and possible consequences for the dollar, markets, and the US economy as a whole. Latest news: talks deadlocked and political tensions rise In the final day before a potential shutdown, the situation in Washington has taken on all the signs of a major crisis. Negotiations between President Donald Trump and congressional leaders have once again failed to yield even minimal progress. With less than 24 hours before federal funding expires, the parties remain fundamentally divided, making a last-minute compromise almost impossible. The main point of contention is the temporary funding bill, which Republicans are promoting in the House of Representatives. To pass the Senate, it would require the support of at least eight Democrats. Democratic Party representatives have stated openly that they are not willing to support the bill without the inclusion of key social provisions: the extension of ACA (Obamacare) healthcare subsidies, the reversal of new Medicaid cuts, and additional safeguards against unilateral budget moves by the administration. President Trump, in turn, is taking a hard line, openly blaming the Democrats for blocking the funding and threatening mass federal employee layoffs if the government shuts down. Leaders of both parties do not rule out that a shutdown could drag on for weeks unless strategies change. The standoff is further complicated by intraparty disagreements: even with a formal majority in the Senate, Republicans need the support of several Democratic senators, while some members of their own party are also voting against the temporary budget. Attempts to reach a compromise—including the gradual reduction of certain medical subsidies—have not yet yielded results. On the eve of the deadline, lawmakers acknowledged the negotiation process has stalled, and the chances of avoiding a shutdown are minimal. Against this backdrop, markets are reflecting heightened uncertainty: investors are cautious, anticipating the possible consequences of a paralysis of federal institutions and delays in the publication of crucial economic indicators. How shutdown works: mechanism, laws, and historical context The mechanism of "shutdown"—the temporary cessation of the US federal government's operations—is embedded in the country's budgetary process. Every fiscal year, Congress is required to approve 12 appropriations bills that regulate government agency spending. If by October 1, the start of the new fiscal year, either a full package or a temporary budget solution (Continuing Resolution, CR) has not been adopted, federal agencies lose the legal right to spend funds, and the government shutdown procedure is triggered. A shutdown does not affect all government functions equally. Federal services are classified as either "essential" or "non-essential." For example, personnel from the Department of Defense, air traffic control, public safety, and law enforcement agencies continue to work without pay—their functions are deemed critically important for the country's safety and operation. However, a significant portion of civil servants and agencies, including support services such as national parks, museums, and certain analytical and statistical agencies, are placed on unpaid leave. The legal foundation for this structure originates from the Antideficiency Act, enacted in the late 19th century and tightened in the 1980s. The law prohibits spending funds not approved by Congress, and violations can result in criminal liability. Since 1981, there have been 14 government shutdowns in the United States, ranging in duration from one day to a record 35 days in the winter of 2018–2019. The causes have included acute budget disputes and conflicts over social policy, healthcare, immigration, and federal funding priorities. In modern history, the division of Congress between parties, along with the rise of radical factions within both parties, has made "budgetary blackmail" a habitual part of the political cycle. It is important to distinguish a shutdown from a default on government bonds: even with a complete government halt, the US does not stop servicing its sovereign debt. However, systemic disruptions in government operations undermine confidence in the national economy and create turbulence in financial markets from the moment they occur. What all this means for USD and markets? The key consequences of a shutdown for US financial markets depend on the duration of the crisis and how quickly a negotiated compromise can be reached. But even a short-term stoppage of government operations already pressures investor sentiment and the dynamics of American assets. First, a shutdown means a freeze in the publication of key macroeconomic statistics, including data on the labor market, inflation, and economic activity—these reports are vital for Federal Reserve decision-making, and their absence increases uncertainty and reduces visibility for financial markets. Second, investors, who traditionally view the dollar as a safe-haven asset, may begin to question its reliability in the face of recurring budget crises. Amid political deadlock, the dollar comes under short-term pressure: the US dollar index, already down nearly 10% since the start of the year, fell another 0.2% on Monday after a brief rise the previous week. Volatility in the markets has increased: yesterday, during the trading day, the dollar lost 0.6% against the yen, dropping to 148.61, while the euro strengthened by 0.3% to $1.1731. Expectations of further Fed policy easing continue to weigh on the greenback—traders are already pricing in a rate cut of 42 basis points by December and more than 100 points by the end of 2026. Third, for the stock market, a shutdown means increased volatility and a sell-off in risk assets. Stagnation of government spending, the temporary furlough of hundreds of thousands of federal employees, and delays in government procurement result in slower economic activity. Companies dependent on government contracts, as well as private contractors and suppliers to federal agencies, face the threat of losing income. As analysts note, a short-term shutdown is unlikely to trigger a large-scale market correction; however, the longer the pause in government operations lasts, the greater the economic and market costs. Against this backdrop, investors will be closely monitoring both the duration of the standoff and Congress's efforts to return the federal apparatus to normal functioning. Recommendations for traders: strategies during shutdown Amid the current budget standoff and the high probability of a shutdown, analysts agree that investors and traders should exercise maximum caution and be prepared for increased market volatility, especially if the government closure is prolonged. Elias Haddad notes that if the shutdown is short-lived, the Federal Reserve is likely to ignore it. However, he emphasizes that a prolonged shutdown heightens the risk of slower economic growth and makes the Fed more inclined toward policy easing. In practice, this could mean a further decline in US Treasury yields, increased attractiveness of safe-haven assets, and a weakening of the dollar against major world currencies. Trading recommendations: For currency traders: In the short term, the dollar remains under pressure due to political uncertainty and the risk of delays in the publication of key macroeconomic data. In the composition of the dollar index, the euro and yen may temporarily strengthen, especially if the shutdown complicates the Fed's work and slows the economic recovery. However, a sharp dollar devaluation is unlikely—long-term fundamental factors remain intact. For stock market participants: Elevated volatility is expected in the US domestic market, especially in shares of companies dependent on government contracts or linked to budget programs (contractors, suppliers, IT, and infrastructure sectors). Risks are higher for medium and small businesses focused on government funding. Consider diversifying your portfolio and increasing your share of cash assets until there is greater clarity on a compromise in Congress. For bond investors: Short-term US Treasury bills will come under some pressure, while demand may rise for long-term safe-haven assets such as gold, the Swiss franc, the yen, and German government bonds. Once the situation stabilizes, a moderate recovery in the Treasury market can be expected. Tony Sycamore, a market analyst, points out that historically the economic damage from a shutdown is often offset after it ends, and a serious revaluation of American assets is only possible in the event of a prolonged budget deadlock: "The impact on GDP has been minimal, as any disruptions are usually remedied immediately after the shutdown concludes." However, in an environment of high inflation and uncertainty, the Fed no longer has the previous buffer to simply ignore temporary shocks. So, the key strategies for traders are: - Significantly reduce leverage and position limits in trading operations. - Temporarily refrain from making large directional bets on the dollar and US stock indices until the situation becomes clearer. - Closely monitor news from Congress, announcements of temporary resolutions, and current macroeconomic data—lack of information will complicate fundamental analysis and increase the market's sensitivity to emotional factors. Ultimately, a shutdown once again serves as a stress test for the entire system: the market has already priced in some of the risk, but the scale of the fallout will be determined by the duration of the budget crisis. In such an environment, heightened caution and the adaptability of trading strategies become key competitive advantages. The material has been provided by InstaForex Company - www.instaforex.com

As the Bitcoin price has staged a rebound coming out of the weekend, the momentum has begun to skew bullish again, and expectations remain that the price will wax higher from here. Some predictions have placed the digital asset’s price lower. However, there are some who expect this to be the start of the next upward wave for Bitcoin. One of those is crypto analyst Arman Shabann, who shared an analysis of the Bitcoin price that seems to be playing out quite well. Why The Bitcoin Price Is Headed For Higher Levels In the analysis, Arman explained the current Bitcoin price trajectory as being bullish, especially with the formation of a clear ascending channel. The digital asset had been moving within this ascending channel, and this is seen in the recent upward push that the Bitcoin price went on. So far, the cryptocurrency looks to be moving according to plan, after bouncing off support between $108,000 and $109,000. After this bounce, the analyst believes that the Dogecoin price has now entered what is known as a natural correction phase. At this level, the Bitcoin price is still trending along the midline, and this is where the next move could be determined. Now, there is still the possibility that the price continues to trend down and retests the support area just above the $105,000 region, as shown in the chart. However, in this case, the Bitcoin price would be preparing for another bounce if this level holds. Additionally, the analyst points out that this would be an ideal entry point if the price were to actually reach this level, given that it’s expected to actually rebound from this point. For the bullish scenario, the Bitcoin price does need to hold the upper boundary of the channel to continue its uptrend. Once bulls take control, then the price is likely to continue upward, with the analyst predicting an over 30% move. Such a move would put the Bitcoin price as high as $156,000 before the rally is over. On the other hand, the bears still have the opportunity to actually reclaim control of the digital asset from here. This lies in breaking below the support level and shifting the momentum back into the negative territory. If the support at $105,000 does break, then the next possible target is the dynamic support just above the $100,000 area.
