Financial Markets Update 10 December 2025
It's party time tonight
News Overnight
A big increase in job openings cements 25bps cut by the FED tonight but what about the presser? Never will a FED Chair’s words be more scrutinised.
Everyone, including us, forgot that it’s the Bank of Canada’s monetary policy meeting today as well and their announcement will precede the FED’s. Expect another cut and it’ll be another policy error. It’s US interest rates that need to go lower.
Markets had a good day with Silver spiking, BTC doing well and USD/YEN now the release valve for Japan.
