Next week's macro outlook: Investors will continue to focus on Trump's transition plan, and the Fed's rate cut expectations may continue to be frustrated
The Republican Party's three-game winning streak in the White House and both houses of Congress this week has added fuel to the "Trump deal", but at the same time, strong US economic and inflation data continue to reshape market expectations of the speed and extent of the Fed's interest rate cuts. This week, as economic data such as US retail sales exceeded expectations, traders increased their bets on the Fed's suspension of interest rate cuts in December, and the market generally showed a hawkish reaction. US stocks fell collectively, with the S&P 500 index falling 2.08% for the week, the Nasdaq index falling 3.15%, the largest single-week drop in more than two months, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling 1.24%. As the list of Trump's cabinet members was released one after another, there were earthquakes of varying degrees in parts of Wall Street.
Thanks to the prospect of a more cautious rate cut by the Federal Reserve under Trump, the U.S. dollar index has risen for seven consecutive weeks, once reaching the 107 mark. Next week, the market focus will include speeches by central bank officials and important data such as the number of initial jobless claims in the United States. The key points to focus on include:
At 12:45 on Monday, Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda will give a speech;
At 18:00 on Tuesday, the final annual CPI value of the euro area in October and the initial monthly CPI value of the euro area in October will be released;
At 21:00 on Thursday, the number of initial jobless claims in the United States for the week ending November 16 and the Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index for November;
At 1:25 on Friday, 2025 FOMC voting member and Chicago Fed President Goolsbee participated in a question-and-answer session at a conference;
At 7:30 on Friday, Japan’s October core CPI annual rate will be released;
At 16:30 on Friday, ECB President Lagarde will speak at the European Banking Conference;
At 22:45 on Friday, the final values of the US S&P Global Manufacturing PMI and the US S&P Global Services PMI for November will be released;
At 23:00 on Friday, the preliminary value of the US one-year inflation rate forecast for November and the preliminary value of the US University of Michigan Consumer Confidence Index for November will be released.
Next week's economic calendar is light again, and if data confirms the resilience of the US economy again, gold prices may be more depressed against the backdrop of further cooling expectations of Fed rate cuts. In addition, after the rally driven by the US election stalled, US stock investors turned their attention to technology stocks and artificial intelligence trading. Nvidia will report earnings next Wednesday, which will also be its first earnings report after being included in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Investors will continue to focus on Trump's transition plan, including his choices for key cabinet positions. Some of his initial appointees have led to weakness in sectors such as pharmaceuticals and defense stocks. Thursday's stock market fell after Powell said that the Fed was not in a hurry to cut interest rates, so the direction of monetary policy may once again become the dominant factor in the market. US stocks have erased half of their gains since the election.
Archegos founder Bill Hwang may be sentenced to 21 years in prison
According to Wall Street Journal, Bill Hwang, the founder of Archegos, the "protagonist of the century's big liquidation", may be sentenced to 21 years in prison. In a document submitted to U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein on Friday, prosecutors stated that Bill Hwang, 60, should be sentenced to a long prison term because he led one of the largest securities fraud schemes in history, causing billions of dollars in losses. Alvin Hellerstein will sentence the Archegos founder on November 20. Bill Hwang was found guilty of fraud and other charges by a jury on July 10. Prosecutors accused him of manipulating the market before Archegos collapsed in 2021. He was found guilty of 10 of the 11 charges he faced. Patrick Halligan, the former Archegos chief financial officer who was tried at the same time as him, was also found guilty of three counts, including extortion and fraud.
Public information shows that Bill Hwang is Korean and once worked as a stock analyst at Tiger Fund founded by Julian Robertson. In 2021, Archegos suffered a margin call due to unfavorable market conditions caused by the use of a large number of highly leveraged derivatives to evade reporting obligations. The incident caused an uproar throughout Wall Street and attracted regulatory scrutiny on three continents, causing global banks to lose up to US$10 billion, including US$5.5 billion to Credit Suisse (now UBS Group) and US$2.9 billion to Nomura Holdings, and caused shareholder losses of approximately US$100 billion. The incident was called "the largest single-day loss in history" and "the margin call of the century."

Santiment: XRP breaks 3-year high thanks to whale wallets holding 1 million to 100 million XRP
Santiment said on the X platform that XRP has now broken through a 3-year high, reaching $1.2679 on Binance for the first time since November 11, 2021. The rally was helped by major whale wallets holding between 1 million and 100 million tokens. In the past week alone, this group has accumulated a total of 453.3 million tokens (worth $526.3 million). At the same time, the tokens they have accumulated mainly come from retail traders who try to sell tokens when XRP sees a small rise. Last week, wallets holding less than 1 million XRP sold a total of 75.7 million tokens (worth $87.9 million). Historically, when cryptocurrency traders increase their holdings and confidence, their market capitalization tends to see positive growth, while retail FUD further drives this growth. This is exactly the scenario that XRP is showing.
