Wall Street review of October non-farm payrolls: the data is very poor, but it does not affect the Federal Reserve's 25 basis point rate cut this month.
In the USA, the non-farm payroll employment in October plummeted to 0.012 million, far below expectations, with a 4.1% unemployment rate meeting expectations. Nick Timiraos, a Wall Street Journal reporter known as the 'New Federal Reserve News Agency,' stated that the analysis of this employment report can be subjective, with most Wall Street analysts believing that the poor data was mainly due to two hurricanes in October and the Boeing strike, but some analysts are also concerned that the job market is indeed deteriorating. Almost all analysts believe that this report will not affect the expected 25 basis point rate cut by the Federal Reserve this month.

What are the common driving and ending signals for the simultaneous rise of US stocks and gold?
In the past 2 years, the US stock market and gold have risen together. In the past 6 instances when the US stock market and gold rose together for at least 2 years, the US dollar index fell. Since 2023, two possible reasons for loose liquidity are: (1) Non-US central banks lowered interest rates before the Federal Reserve, leading to a global liquidity overflow effect that boosted US stocks and gold. (2) Liquidity released through other means in the United States offset the Federal Reserve's balance sheet reduction, resulting in significant liquidity loosening. It is expected that the US economy will accelerate its downturn in 2025, causing a reversal in dollar liquidity, and the resonance rise in US stocks and gold over the past 2 years due to liquidity expansion will reverse.
