"Fed Operating in the Dark? Inside Sources Suggest Secret Data Channels Remain Open Despite Blackout"

KR Opinion

As Tuesday unfolds, the financial markets continue to display moderate traction in short-term databases while essentially remaining in neutral territory. The markets appear to be consolidating at current levels, with all data sheets confirming that we’re experiencing a short-term consolidation phase that carries an upward bias. It seems remarkable that just weeks ago, conversations centered on what many considered an overreaction to a fifty-billion-dollar loss stemming from a write-off at one of the regional banks. That concern has already evaporated from market consciousness, and the ongoing government shutdown has contributed to what can only be described as lackluster, range-bound trading activity.
