According to Jin10, ECB President Christine Lagarde said the ECB had not observed signs of second-round effects beyond its forecasts. It is closely monitoring forward-looking indicators, including multi-year wage agreements and companies’ wage expectations, but has not yet seen any signs of change. Lagarde said it was too early to prejudge whether forecasts would be raised, but noted that important changes had occurred since the ECB’s September forecasts. The energy futures curve had risen, which would affect both inflation and economic growth, although oil prices had recently fallen. Long-term interest rates had also risen. The ECB’s forecasts will determine how these factors affect medium-term inflation.

According to CNBC, Rep. Josh Gottheimer, a Democrat helping shape his party’s artificial intelligence agenda, disclosed an Oct. 12 purchase of $1,001 to $15,000 in Benchmark Electronics stock and an Oct. 26 purchase of up to $15,000 in Applied Materials shares. His jointly owned Morgan Stanley account had also made three earlier purchases of Advanced Micro Devices stock. In July, Gottheimer was among 13 Democrats who voted for the Stop Insider Trading Act, which would bar lawmakers and their families from buying most individual stocks; the bill passed the House but has not become law. His spokesman said Gottheimer had given a third party full discretion over his investments and was awaiting congressional approval of a blind trust.

According to ChainCatcher, Bloomberg Intelligence senior commodities strategist Mike McGlone wrote that Bitcoin’s bear market could offer a signal for gold and other risk assets. He said U.S. President Donald Trump’s shift from opposing to supporting crypto helped him win reelection in 2024, but Bitcoin has now peaked and declined; historically, other risk assets could follow. McGlone said Bitcoin’s 50-week moving average indicates a downtrend and that gold also faces downside risk. Gold’s volatility is currently about 2.2 times the S&P 500’s annualized volatility, its highest level since 2007, making it a highly volatile and highly correlated asset, he said. He added that Bitcoin’s bear market could signal a mean reversion in S&P 500 volatility toward its usual 1:1 relationship with gold. Risk assets face significant pullback risks, and the midterm elections could be a decisive factor, he said.
