According to the latest data released by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the U.S. September New York Fed manufacturing index recorded 7.6, significantly below market expectations of 15 and down sharply from the prior value of 20.6. Meanwhile, Canada’s Statistics Bureau reported that the July wholesale sales month-on-month rate came in at 0.3%, slightly better than the forecast of -0.5%, but clearly cooled from the prior value of 2.80%. The weakening of these two key macro indicators clearly reflects that North America’s manufacturing and trade activity, after a strong surge earlier, has begun to top out and pull back on a periodic basis.

From a macro trading logic perspective, the rapid drop in manufacturing sentiment directly compresses the upward room for core inflation. The sharp rise in the New York Fed manufacturing index earlier had raised market concerns about a resurgence of secondary inflation. However, the latest 7.6 reading refutes the overheating narrative and strengthens the certainty that the Federal Reserve will maintain a gradual rate-cutting cycle at subsequent meetings. This data trend opens up more ample space for monetary policy accommodation and effectively alleviates the tightening pressure caused by long-term elevated terminal rates.

In terms of cross-market asset linkages and technicals, after the data release, the U.S. dollar index (DXY) came under pressure at high levels and showed signs of pulling back, while benchmark Treasury yields declined in tandem. With the falling bond yields effectively releasing the liquidity premium, safe-haven gold and risk assets displayed a clear, synchronized stabilization pattern. As the dollar index was rejected and pulled back near a key resistance level, it created an excellent technical window for a rebound in overall risk appetite (Risk-on).

For the crypto market, improving expectations for macro liquidity are directly translating into increased buy-side momentum on the screen. $BTC demonstrated exceptionally strong buyback capacity at a key support level. The positioning structure in the derivatives market has gradually shifted from defense to more active long positioning, and stablecoin liquidity continues to flow back even at low levels. With the Federal Reserve’s easing path becoming further clearer, crypto assets may break above the current consolidation range and open up a new round of upside trend channel.
