Market Summary (Oct 2, 2025)
We remain in a USD-bearish environment as the ongoing US government shutdown freezes BLS releases and a softer-than-expected ADP private payrolls print reinforces concerns over labor-market strength, driving gold toward the 3,900 area. Equities are buoyed by heightened Fed easing bets, while bitcoin enters its seasonally bullish phase. Euro strength is testing key trendline resistance amid dollar weakness, and oil is caught between OPEC supply pledges and easing Middle East tensions, resulting in a mixed outlook.
