Fundamental Points

Trump’s press conference was combative and defensive. While he covered Russia’s interference allegation and discussed plans to address ethical questions around separating the presidency from his business dealings. It was certainly not as market friendly as the pro-growth acceptance speech he gave in November.

Meanwhile the volatility could continue on Thursday as US Initial Jobless Claims (JAN 7) will be released at 1:30 PM GMT, followed by the US Monthly Budget Statement (DEC) at 7 PM.

On Friday Fed head Janet Yellen is set to Address Town Hall with Educators first thing at 12 AM GMT.

We could see USD JPY price volatility picking up once more as the US releases their Advance Retail Sales (DEC) as well as PPI numbers at 1:30 PM GMT. Prelim UoM Consumer Sentiment will be released at 3 PM followed by Baker Hughes U.S. Rig Count at 6 PM GMt to end the trading week.

Bitcoin Drops Entering 2026: Is It Still Worth Investing? The Answer Most Investors Miss

January 2, 2026 No Comments

Bitcoin has entered 2026 under pressure, with prices pulling back after a volatile period that left many investors questioning whether the opportunity has passed. Headlines are once again split between fear and optimism, with some calling the recent drop a warning sign and others viewing it as a healthy reset.

The key question for investors now is not whether Bitcoin will remain volatile – but whether this moment represents risk, opportunity, or something most investors misunderstand.

December 12, 2025 No Comments

Western Digital Corporation (WDC) has been on a tear, its stock price soaring over 270% year-to-date as of early December 2025.

This massive growth isn’t just hype; it’s fueled by a perfect storm of events, including the strategic spin-off of its flash business, SanDisk, and an insatiable global demand for data storage driven by the AI revolution.

As a now “pure-play” Hard Disk Drive (HDD) manufacturer, WDC is uniquely positioned as the landlord for the internet’s exploding data. But with such a meteoric rise, is there still room for growth, or is the stock overheated?
