According to PANews, The Kobeissi Letter recently analyzed the current market conditions on the X platform, highlighting several key trends. Firstly, technology stocks have experienced significant declines, reminiscent of the long-term impact of tariffs. Additionally, oil prices have dropped to a four-month low due to concerns over demand. In contrast, gold prices are climbing amid uncertainty, nearing historic highs.
Bond prices are rising as if interest rate cuts are making a comeback, while cryptocurrencies have plummeted, suggesting a massive evaporation of retail investor funds. Interest rates are trending downward, indicating a potential economic slowdown. The market is currently absorbing the effects of a recession and has adjusted its expectations for interest rate cuts, now anticipating them by May 2025.
The Kobeissi Letter further noted that just weeks ago, the market consensus was that there would be no additional rate cuts in 2025. However, the interest rate futures market now presents a starkly different outlook.
