The Wall Street rally in the first seven months of this year suffered a severe setback consecutively in August and September. Market participants remain highly concerned as the Fed warned of one more rate hike of 25 basis points by the end of this year and pursued a higher interest rate regime for a longer period. The first rate cut is not expected before September 2024 and the inflation rate is unlikely to decline to the central bank\u2019s target rate of 2% before 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n

A higher market interest rate is detrimental to high-growth sectors like technology, consumer discretionary and cryptocurrency. As a result, the crypto space is likely to face uncertainty in October. Prices of major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Cardano (ADA), Dogecoin (DOGE) and BNB (BNB) likely to remain volatile.<\/p>\n

Near-Term Concerns<\/h3>\n

Following the September post-FOMC statement by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, the yield on the short-term 2-Year U.S. Treasury Note reached 5.461 %, its highest level since 2006. The yield on the benchmark 10-Year U.S. Treasury Note touched 4.639%, its highest level since 2007. Investors are worried that soaring yields on U.S. government bonds are giving signals for a recession in the near future.<\/p>\n

On Sep 27, crude oil prices rose to their highest settlement level year to date. The global benchmark \u2014 the Brent crude \u2014 rose $0.16 to close at $96.71. The U.S. benchmark \u2014 the Western Texas Intermediate crude \u2014 increased $0.2 to close at $93.88. Investors remained highly concerned about oil prices as it will increase transportation costs and in turn inflate the aggregate price level.<\/p>\n

Despite a steady decline since June 2022, the inflation rate still remains well above the Fed\u2019s 2% target level. Higher crude oil prices will make Fed\u2019s task tougher. Moreover, on Sep 26, The ICE U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), a measure of the currency against a basket of six others, rose 0.4% to touch 106.71, its highest intraday level since Nov.30, 2022.<\/p>\n

The Conference Board reported that the index for consumer confidence in September came in at 103 compared with 108.7 in August. September marked the second consecutive month of the index\u2019s decline and the largest monthly decline for the index since December 2020.<\/p>\n

The Expectations Index\u2014based on consumers\u2019 short-term outlook for income, business, and labor market conditions\u2014declined to 73.7 in September compared with 83.3 in August and 88 in July. Notably, any reading of the Expectations Index below 80, historically signals a recession within next year.<\/p>\n
