To The Moon

Buckle up, investors – the Fed just unleashed a 25bps rate cut, slamming rates to 3.75%-4.00% and declaring quantitative tightening dead as of December 1. That's a massive liquidity injection straight into the veins of the economy, fueling risk assets like never before. Powell threw some cold water, insisting a December cut isn't locked in amid economic uncertainties, but the market shrugged it off with fresh records. The S&P 500 clawed to 6898, up 0.10% in a volatile session, while the Nasdaq surged 0.55% to 23,958, powered by tech giants digesting earnings beats. Dow dipped slightly to 47,632, down 0.16%, but overall breadth screams resilience despite mixed signals.

Nvidia's the rocket fuel here – blasting past $5 trillion market cap on stellar data center revenue exploding to $115 billion in fiscal 2025, up 114% year-over-year. AI demand is insatiable, with earnings per share skyrocketing 147%, turning every dip into a buying frenzy. Big tech absorbed hits like Meta's one-time expenses and Microsoft's spending spike, but Alphabet's jump shows the sector's unbreakable momentum. Asian cues add spice: Samsung's blowout numbers and Trump's Asia whirlwind – sealing trade pacts with Malaysia and Cambodia, schmoozing Japan's PM, and now touching down in South Korea for high-stakes talks with Xi Jinping. This morning's summit could thaw trade wars, easing tariffs on chips, rare earths, and more, potentially supercharging global flows.

Gold's the wildcard stealing the show, rebounding fiercely to $3967 per ounce, just shy of that psychological $4000 barrier. With inflation ticking up (Aussie CPI at 3.2%, electricity bills soaring 23.6%), and the dollar strengthening post-Fed, gold's hedging power shines. Spot prices per gram hit $127.55, kilo at $127,551 – up 0.32% daily, 4.15% over 30 days, and a whopping 21.07% in six months. Silver's lagging but poised at traditional 25:1 ratios, eyeing $160 if gold holds firm. Crypto feels the ripple too – Bitcoin dipped below $110,000 in a sell-the-news knee-jerk, but liquidity floodgates signal a rebound.

Will stocks and gold rally in tandem? Absolutely – this pullback's gasping its last breath. Liquidity bonanza favors equities, while geopolitical easing and inflation fears propel gold's bull run back into overdrive. Short bonds as yields climb (10Y UST up ~10bps), long financials over growth for now, but tech's unbreakable. Asian markets volatile with negative bias opening, but buy dips in metals, rate-sensitives, and IT. FII selling resumed at Rs 2540cr, but technicals scream positional strength. Key longs: metals, IT, interest-rate plays. Shorts: autos, capital markets.
