Financial Markets Update 20 November 2025
Markets sombre
News Overnight
CPI in UK and EU was pretty much as expected, and higher than target. A deeply-divided FED will meet on 10 December for the final FOMC meeting of the year. Market expectations of a rate cut are fading fast and that’s showing in market pricing.
FOMC minutes from the October meeting were released yesterday, adding to the gloom.
Specifically “In discussing the near-term course of monetary policy, participants expressed strongly differing views about what policy decision would most likely be appropriate at the Committee’s December meeting,” the minutes showed.
Equites gave back gains, and Bitcoin hit the recent lows again.

Dow Jones Update 20 November 2025
Amidst the clutter of the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ, there is a very clear chart. The Dow Jones has broken uptrend support but not longer more solid support at 45,000.
Bitcoin Update 20 November 2025
The selling continues and the support on the downtrend has been tagged. It’s a very steep drop and the market is now very oversold so let’s look forward to a short term bounce up to the midline at 97.2k. That would be a huge bounce!
