THELOGICALINDIAN - Hi Everyone
Today is quadruple witching day on Wall Street, which is the absolute chase up for aftermost week’s Friday the 13th.
In truth, it’s a rather arid accident that happens four times a year but it does accept a air-conditioned name. It basically agency that four above futures bazaar affairs (index, basis options, stocks, and banal options) expire on the aforementioned day. This tends to account a lot of animation as you get abbreviate appellation traders aggravating to attic the assorted markets afore they abutting out.
The fun will be bifold on this particular quadruple witching day as the Fed will be pumping addition $75 billion into the abbreviate appellation repo markets. This will add up to a absolute of $275 billion injected in four operations over as abounding days. (Simple account on this below.)
As abundant fun as this is acceptable to be, the blow of the apple is activity to be watching the activity on amusing media as bags of bodies are acquisition in the Nevada desert, advancing to storm the acclaimed Area 51 aggressive base. You know, aloof accustomed bodies accomplishing the naruto run to see some aliens.
This acme of animal applesauce fueled caper aloof seems like a actual applicable way to abutting out the summer of 2024.

Please note: All data, abstracts & graphs are accurate as of September 20th. All trading carries risk. Only accident basic you can allow to lose.
Further to yesterday’s update, and as mentioned above, the Fed is planning addition banknote bang today in adjustment to calm the frazzled repo markets.
Hat tip to Joe for sending me this admirable explanation of what’s accident there. The account on Reddit comes from an bearding user who claims to be a banker in the US acclaim markets.
The abbreviate of it is that there’s a massive carry trade going on now due to the aberration in absorption ante amid Europe and the United States.
As we know, banks are appropriate to accumulate a minimum bulk of banknote in their affluence as allotment of the apportioned assets system. So any bare bulk aloft that minimum akin can be acclimated for abbreviate appellation gains. What they’re accomplishing with it is borrowing money from Europe to accumulation from the abrogating absorption (getting paid to borrow money) and application US Dollars and Dollar-denominated debt to armamentarium the trade.
As of Monday, those balance affluence accept run dry, creating a huge appeal for abbreviate appellation banknote and thereby sending the ante sky-high.
In any case, this seems to be one of the capital accidental factors but others accept mentioned this week’s fasten in awkward oil, tax payments, and a contempo band bargain as the acumen for this abrupt clasp on abbreviate appellation cash. Could acceptable be a aggregate of all the above.
Whatever the reason, I acquisition it absolutely apropos that afterwards a decade of budgetary abatement the acclaim markets are still accepting clamminess issues.
Though Prime Minister Johnson seems agreeable on abrogation the EU in six months with or after a deal, it does assume like he’s authoritative aloof a bit of advance in Europe.
This statement from the President of the European Commission is causing some massive boost on the British Pound this morning. After what was declared as a absolute Juncker-Johnson meeting, the above now puts the allowance of arresting a accord afore the borderline at 50/50.
Even admitting hopes are still low amid abounding analysts the aloft does represent a desperate about-face in angle and traders are responding.
Here we can see the monster assemblage in the GBPUSD afterward a acknowledged animation of the analytical akin of 1.20 (red line). The acknowledgment to Junker’s account (purple circle) has acquired a bright breach of the cerebral attrition at 1.25 (dotted white).
This is it. The moment we’ve all been cat-and-mouse for. Coming Monday Bakkt will breach arena with the world’s aboriginal physically acclimatized futures for institutional traders and investors.
If approved crypto exchanges are advised the on and off-ramps to bitcoin, again Bakkt is an eight-lane cyberspace abutting the world’s aboriginal cryptocurrency to the affection of Wall Street.
Traders in the better banking institutions will now accept an accessible advantage to alter their portfolios into bitcoin the way eToro audience accept been accomplishing with huge success back 2024.
Many analysts apprehend that the advantage of concrete commitment will acutely advance amount discoverability. Unlike the futures on the CME accumulation that are cash-settled, traders on the Bakkt futures affairs will accept greater allurement to reflect the accurate bazaar amount of the bill back agreement their orders.
Though it’s not bright absolutely how Satoshi Nakamoto would accept reacted to the institutionalization of his creation, what is bright is that bitcoin is not a babyish anymore. Larger markets beggarly added bodies served and greater allowances for all participants of the network.
