Today\u2019s earnings calendar, with Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Citigroup set to report alongside crypto-mining firm Bitmine Immersion Technologies headline.<\/p>\n

Geopolitical Tensions Flare as Trump Signals Harder Line on Iran<\/p>\n

Market anxiety resurfaced after U.S. President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that he had canceled all meetings with Iranian officials. In the same message, Trump encouraged protestors to \u201ckeep going,\u201d adding that help is on the way\u2014language that some investors interpreted as a potential signal of escalating U.S. involvement, including possible military action. The remarks added another layer of geopolitical uncertainty to already fragile market sentiment.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s Remarks Keep Markets on Edge<\/p>\n

President Trump\u2019s public comments continue to command close market attention, particularly given the number of unresolved policy issues currently in play. Speaking publicly, Trump criticized the Federal Reserve, stating that the U.S. has \u201ca bad Fed Chair\u201d and confirming that he plans to name a new Federal Reserve Chair within the next few weeks. The comments reinforced uncertainty around the future path of U.S. monetary policy and central bank independence.<\/p>\n

U.S. Equity Markets Close Lower<\/p>\n

U.S. equities finished the session in the red, reflecting a cautious tone across risk assets.<\/p>\n

Dow<\/a> Jones Industrial Average closed at 49,191.99, down 398.21 points (-0.80%)
\nNasdaq Composite ended at 23,709.87, slipping 0.10%<\/p>\n

Losses were concentrated in cyclicals and rate-sensitive stocks, while broader market participation remained muted.<\/p>\n

Inflation Data Comes in Mixed but Softer at the Core<\/p>\n

December U.S. inflation data delivered mixed signals, offering some relief on underlying price pressures.<\/p>\n

CPI Year-over-Year: +2.7% (in line with expectations)
\nCore CPI Year-over-Year: +2.6% (below the +2.7% forecast)
\nCore CPI Month-over-Month: +0.2% (below the +0.3% expected)<\/p>\n

The softer core readings reinforced expectations that inflation pressures are gradually easing, even as headline inflation remains sticky.<\/p>\n

Precious Metals Rally on Softer Inflation<\/p>\n

Silver<\/a> extended its rally, climbing to fresh record highs as the softer U.S. core inflation data weighed on the U.S. dollar and boosted demand for inflation hedges. The move reflects growing investor interest in hard assets amid uncertainty over monetary policy and geopolitical risks.<\/p>\n

Nvidia Export Policy Speculation Surfaces<\/p>\n

Adding to the day\u2019s developments, market chatter emerged around the possibility that the U.S. could ease regulations on Nvidia\u2019s H200 chip exports to China. While no official policy announcement has been made, the comments fueled speculation across the semiconductor space, highlighting how sensitive tech stocks remain to shifts in U.S.\u2013China trade policy.<\/p>\n

A Stark Economic Divide Emerges<\/p>\n

On a more sobering note, comments from Delta Airlines underscored a growing imbalance within the U.S. economy. The airline noted that nearly all recent spending growth is coming from wealthier consumers, pointing to a widening gap between high-income households and the rest of the population. This divergence<\/a> raises longer-term concerns about the sustainability of consumer-driven growth as broader economic conditions tighten.<\/p>\n

Key Market Events to Watch Today: Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citigroup and Bitmine in Focus<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s earnings releases from Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Citigroup will serve as an early barometer for the health of the U.S. financial system heading into 2026. With interest rate uncertainty, evolving credit conditions, and regulatory pressures in focus, investor reaction is likely to hinge less on headline EPS beats and more on outlook and commentary. Meanwhile, Bitmine\u2019s results will offer a snapshot of how crypto-related firms are navigating a volatile digital asset landscape.<\/p>\n

Last week, markets were quite volatile again, with gold<\/a> soaring to $4,550 and then retreating but finding support at $4,300. EUR\/USD<\/a> stayed above 1.17 while main indices closed the week higher at new records. The moves weren\u2019t too big though, and we opened 35 trading signals<\/a> in total, finishing the week with 28 winning signals and 9 losing ones.<\/p>\n

Gold Pushes Toward $5,000<\/p>\n

Although demand for safe haven assets is still high, gold fell precipitously from record highs following the Fed\u2019s most recent rate cut comments, as profit-taking was prompted by Powell\u2019s cautious tone. Earlier this month, gold jumped above $4.3800 following the Federal Reserve\u2019s announcement of a 25 basis point rate decrease. But the impetus soon waned, and prices dropped back to $4,004. The 20 daily SMA (gray) held as support last week and buyers returned and pushed XAU above $4,500K.<\/p>\n

USD\/JPY Nears 160<\/p>\n

Foreign exchange markets saw sharp swings. Early in the week, U.S. yield differentials and Japanese capital outflows pushed the dollar above \u00a5150, but disappointing U.S. jobs data triggered profit-taking, causing the USD\/JPY to slide by four yen from its peak. However, the new BOJ governor the JPY has weakened and USD\/JPY soared to 154 and we decided to close our buy signal for more than 80 pips<\/a> as the pair found support at the 20 daily SMA (gray) and has rebounded more than 200 pips off that MA but reversed after the 25 bps rate cut from the FED.\"Chart<\/p>\n

USD\/JPY \u2013 Daily Chart<\/p>\n

Cryptocurrency Update
\nBitcoin Climbs Above $95K<\/p>\n

Cryptocurrencies remained highly active over the summer. Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) climbed to fresh highs of $123,000 and $124,000 in July and August, supported by institutional inflows and technical strength. However, remarks from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent ruling out U.S. increases to BTC reserves triggered a steep pullback, sending the coin down below $105,000 before finding support at the 200 daily SMA and recovering above $115,000 but then fell toward $100K again. However BTC remains supported by the 100 weekly SMA (green) and only a break below that would risk further losses.<\/p>\n

Ethereum Faces the 100 Weekly SMA<\/p>\n

Ethereum (ETH<\/a>) has been similarly strong, surging toward $4,800, its highest since 2021 and near its all-time peak of $4,860. Despite a dip last week, ETH found support at the 20-day SMA, with retail enthusiasm and renewed institutional participation driving fresh upside momentum. Last week we saw a dive below $2.700 but the 200 weekly SMA held as support and we\u2019re seeing a rebound but buyers face the 100 SMA (green) now.<\/p>\n
