This could make it possible for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates further in December. He added that the unreleased macroeconomic data flow may indicate that inflation remains stubborn and that labor market conditions are weaker than what the ADP report suggests. These two factors could prompt the Federal Reserve to cut rates in December, despite their repeated cautious statements.
- 20:08Short-selling firm Kynikos closes out Strategy hedge tradeJinse Finance reported that Jim Chanos, President and Founder of the short-selling firm Kynikos Associates, announced that he has closed his hedged trade between Strategy stocks and bitcoin. This trade was established in May, betting on the narrowing premium between MSTR's stock price and the value of its bitcoin holdings. Data shows that MSTR's price-to-book ratio has dropped from a yearly high of 1.8 times to the current 1.1 times, with the premium space shrinking by more than 50%. Chanos has repeatedly warned that companies holding bitcoin face SPAC-like speculative risks, arguing that their valuation premiums lack fundamental support. Chanos believes that the "copycat" trades of other bitcoin treasury companies are based on financial engineering, cheap capital, and market frenzy, rather than on business fundamentals.
