    Cryptocurrency market continues to fall

    analytics637d05aa3c476.jpg

    Bitcoin started Tuesday morning by moving sideways, as the coin traded at $16,134.

    According to cryptocurrency price tracking website CoinMarketCap, over the past 24 hours, bitcoin's highest price was $16,246, while its lowest was $15,599.

    At the same time, on Monday, bearish sentiment prevailed in the cryptocurrency market and BTC updated weekly lows below $16,000.

    Experts believe that bitcoin fell mainly due to the decline in U.S. stock indices on Monday. The S&P 500 index fell by 0.39%, the NASDAQ Composite fell by 1.09%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 0.13%.

    Since the beginning of 2022 analysts increasingly began to emphasize the high level of correlation between the U.S. securities market and virtual assets amid tense expectations of both of the consequences of the geopolitical conflict in eastern Europe and the further steps of the U.S. Federal Reserve.

    Earlier, Arcane Research analysts already stated that bitcoin's correlation to tech stocks has climbed to highs not seen since July 2020.

    In addition, economists of analytical platform TradingView said that the correlation of the cryptocurrency market with the U.S. stock market in the past quarter reached 70%.

    Altcoin market
    Ethereum, bitcoin's main competitor, also started Tuesday with sideways movement. The coin was trading at $1,128.

    As for cryptocurrencies from the top 10 by capitalization, Polygon (+2.32%) had the best results, while Ethereum (-1.43%) had the worst.

    According to last week's results, Polygon coin (-13.99%) topped the list of the top ten strongest digital assets.

    According to CoinGecko, the world's largest aggregator of data on virtual assets, in the last 24 hours the Huobi Token (+11.13%) was in first place among the top 100 most capitalized digital assets in terms of growth, while the UNUS SED LEO (-13.91%) coin had the worst results.

    According to the results of the past week, the digital asset NEAR Protocol (-21.46%) showed the worst results among the top hundred of the strongest digital assets, while Litecoin (+7.63%) showed the best results.

    According to CoinGecko, as of Tuesday morning, the global cryptocurrency market cap failed to settle above the important key level of $850 billion and stands at $834.845 billion.

    Since November 2021, when the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies exceeded the $3 trillion level, it has more than tripled.

    Fed considers decelerating rate hike pace. Will US dollar slow down?

    analytics637f10211adc2.jpg

    The European currency managed to outperform the US dollar by the end of the week. Following the release of the FOMC meeting minutes, USD significantly declined. Meanwhile, the euro managed to get a head start and use the situation to consolidate its positions.

    On Thursday, November 24, the US dollar fell considerably against other major currencies, especially against the euro. The decline was caused by increased risk appetite in the markets, which followed the release of the FOMC meeting minutes for November. In this situation, the euro rallied strongly, trying to recoup its earlier losses. Early on Thursday, EUR/USD was trading near 1.0435, advancing from its previous level of 1.0395.

    analytics637f103ac903d.jpg

    On Wednesday, November 23, the Fed published the minutes of its November policy meeting, which indicated that the regulator plans to slow down the pace of interest rate hikes in the near future. This year, the Fed increased its benchmark rate six times. Most analysts (76%) expect the Fed to raise its interest rate again in December to a target range of 4.25%-4.5% from the current 3.75%-4%. This rate hike is expected to be smaller than the previous ones.

    As a result, the US currency has lost some of its gains. Disappointing macroeconomic data from the US also contributed to the drop of USD. The US dollar has come under strong bearish pressure after these reports. According to November data, the S&P Global Services PMI in the declined stronger than expected. At the same time business activity in the US service sector fell at an accelerated pace, with the S&P Global Services PMI dropping to 46.1 from 47.8 a month ago. The drop was attributed to weakening consumer demand and decreased volume of new orders, which hit the lowest level since May 2020.

    Furthermore, the S&P Global Manufacturing PMI slid down below 50 points in November. Analysts recorded a significant drop in business activity in the US manufacturing sector, with the S&P Global Manufacturing PMI dropping to 47.6 points from the previous 50.4 points. Falling output in the US exacerbated the decline. "In this environment, inflationary pressures should continue to cool in the months ahead, potentially markedly, but the economy meanwhile continues to head deeper into a likely recession," Chris Williamson, lead economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence said.

    Fed policymakers are concerned about the weaker US labor market. The regulator considers the situation in the US labor market to be a key policy gauge, along with inflation, and uses it when deciding on its monetary policy. A decline in the US labor market is a signal to the Fed that it is time to reduce the pace of rate hikes. Over the past week, the number of jobless claims in the US increased to 240,000. This trend has persisted since the end of September 2022, analysts say.

    The number of initial claims in the US hit the highest level since August 2022, well above the 225,000 claims forecasted earlier. At the same time the number of continuing claims rose to the highest point since March 2022 and stood at 1,551,000.

    Analysts have noted that the US labor market has begun to reverse, which would give strong support to EUR/USD. Such a situation is favorable for the stock market, but detrimental for the US dollar, as it implies the Fed would soften its hawkish stance.

    In the current situation the US dollar, which briefly retreated, took a pause, just like the Fed, which plans to reduce the pace of rate hikes. Analysts believe that USD will gather its strength and test its highs again in the near future. The US currency is likely to be successful in this scenario.

    GOLD REBOUNDS ON DOLLAR PULLBACK

    6.jpg

    Gold rebounded on Tuesday, after having fallen around 1 percent in the previous session in the wake of hawkish comments from St. Louis Fed President James Bullard.

    Spot gold climbed 0.8 percent to $1,754.76 per ounce, while U.S. gold futures were up 0.8 percent at $1,753.40.

    The dollar fell against its rivals today as optimism surrounding China's reopening offset rate-hike fears.

    U.S. Treasury yields pulled back despite U.S. Fed officials James Bullard and John Williams reiterating their hawkish stance on further rate hikes.

    Euro zone government bond yields fell broadly after inflation in Spain and in Germany's most populous state came in below expectations.

    Financial markets ae excited about some sort of reopening in China, apparently to quell public anger against COVID-19 curbs.

    China reported a slight dip in new COVID-19 infections and also stepped-up support for the country's property sector, further aiding risk sentiment.

    6.jpg

    The manufacturing sector in China continued to contract in November, and at a faster pace, the latest survey from the National Bureau of Statistics revealed on Wednesday with a manufacturing PMI score of 48.0. That missed expectations for a reading of 49.0 and was down from 49.2 in October. It also moved further beneath the boom-or-bust line of 50 that separates expansion from contraction. The report also showed that the non-manufacturing PMI fell to 46.7 from 48.7 in October, while the general PMI dropped to 47.1 from 49.0.

    JAPAN MANUFACTURING SECTOR CLIPS INTO CONTRACTION - JIBUN

    1.jpg

    The manufacturing sector in Japan fell into contraction in November, the latest survey from Jibun Bank showed on Thursday with a manufacturing PMI core of 49.0.

    That's down from 50.7 in October, and it moves beneath the boom-or-bust line of 50 that separates expansion from contraction.

    Contributing to the sub-50.0 PMI reading was a sharper contraction in output levels at Japanese manufacturing companies. The downturn was the strongest since August 2020 and reportedly resulted from weak customer demand. Reflective of the trends in output was a further contraction in order books. The decline was the fastest since August 2020 amid reports of cooling market demand and ongoing price pressures.

    Foreign demand also declined and at a pace that was the sharpest since July 2020. Panel members suggested that overseas clients were looking to downwardly adjust inventory levels.

    SINGAPORE PRIVATE SECTOR SLOWS IN NOVEMBER - S&P GLOBAL

    4.jpg

    The private sector in Singapore continued to expand in November, albeit at a slower pace, the latest survey from S&P Global revealed on Monday with a PMI score of 56.2.

    That's down from 57.7 in October, although it remains well above the boom-or-bust line of 50 that separates expansion from contraction.

    Private sector activity continued to expand at a robust pace midway into the final quarter of 2022 but saw the rate of expansion moderate from October's high. Survey respondents remarked that virus-related disruptions underpinned the slowdown. Indeed, lead times lengthened at a substantial rate in November amid reports of COVID-19 related delays and manpower constraints.

    Overall demand, including external demand, meanwhile remained a key driver behind the growth in activity but likewise saw the rate of expansion slow in November.

    AUSTRALIA CENTRAL BANK LIFTS RATE BY 25 BPS

    14.jpg

    Australia's central bank raised its key interest rate by a quarter point again on Tuesday, as widely expected.

    The policy board of the Reserve Bank of Australia, headed by Governor Philip Lowe, decided to lift the cash rate target by 25 basis points to 3.10 percent.

    The board reiterated that it expects to increase interest rates further over the period ahead, but it is not on a pre-set course.

    The size and timing of future interest rate increases will continue to be determined by the incoming data and the Board's assessment of the outlook for inflation and the labor market, the bank repeated.

    Policymakers observed that that monetary policy operates with a lag and that the full effect of the increase in interest rates is yet to be felt in mortgage payments. Household spending is likely to slow although the timing and extent of this slowdown is uncertain.

    "The path to achieving the needed decline in inflation and achieving a soft landing for the economy remains a narrow one," Governor Philip Lowe said.

    SINGAPORE EXPORTS FALL MORE THAN FORECAST ON WEAKER DEMAND

    3.jpg

    Singapore's non-oil exports declined for the second straight month in November, and at a faster-than-expected pace, amid falls in both shipments of electronic and non-electronic goods, data from Enterprise Singapore showed on Friday.

    Non-oil domestic exports decreased 14.6 percent year-on-year in November, which was worse than the 6.1 percent fall in October. Economists had expected a 7.4 percent drop.

    Electronic exports plunged 20.2 percent, while non-electronic NODX dropped 12.8 percent.

    On a monthly basis, the NODX declined 9.2 percent in November, after a 4.2 percent fall in the previous month. That was also above the 3.0 percent decrease expected by economists.

    In November, non-oil domestic exports to the top 10 markets as a whole decreased, primarily as a result of China, Hong Kong, and Malaysia, while those to the EU 27, Japan, and the US increased.
