Fundamental Analysis - Silver prices experienced fluctuations and declined, while platinum prices followed gold prices downward. The U.S. stock market faced significant sell-offs, with all three major indices closing lower. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices recorded their largest single-day declines since October 10, indicating growing concerns over high valuations. Investors are increasingly worried about overvalued stocks, leading to profit-taking despite some companies reporting good earnings that did not meet "outstanding" expectations. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon previously warned of a significant market correction risk within the next six months to two years. The U.S. federal government has been in a shutdown for 35 days, matching a historical record, which has resulted in a lack of official economic data, making the market more reliant on private sector employment reports like ADP [1][3]. Currency Market Dynamics - The ongoing U.S. federal government shutdown has resulted in the inability to release key official economic data, prompting investors to focus on the upcoming ADP employment report for economic insights. Additionally, there is a divergence of opinions among Federal Reserve officials on how to address the current data gap. The U.S. dollar index has surpassed the 100 mark for the first time since early August. The euro has depreciated against the dollar for the fifth consecutive day, reaching a low of 1.1483, the weakest level since August 1. Despite the strength of other safe-haven currencies like the yen and Swiss franc, the dollar has slightly declined against the yen to 153.60, while the yen remains near an eight-and-a-half-month low. Market strategists note that despite frequent discussions about the "decline of the dollar," it remains a reliable safe-haven asset during market turmoil. The shift in market sentiment towards safe-haven assets corresponds with the stock market decline and increased demand for government bonds. Commodity currencies like the Australian dollar have come under pressure, dropping 0.8% to 0.649 due to the Reserve Bank of Australia maintaining interest rates and expressing caution towards further easing. The shift in Federal Reserve policy expectations is a key driver of the dollar's strength, with the probability of a rate cut in December dropping from 94% to 65% following last week's expected rate cut. The ongoing government shutdown has led to a lack of economic data, making the differing views among Federal Reserve officials on the economic situation a focal point for the market. Despite the recent strong performance of the dollar, the dollar index is currently in a fluctuating rebound trend [3].
