BTC Bull Run Preempts Other Digital Assets

By Pranay Yadav

  • Bitcoin price has increased 20% over the past week anticipating the imminent approval  of a spot Bitcoin ETF. 
  • Bitcoin has outperformed other digital assets over the past year. Dominance has reached a two-year high. 
  • BTC-ETH ratio is expected to continue rising after a near-term pullback due to ETF approval and relative safety providing strong tailwinds to BTC. 

CX Daily: China’s Family-Run Businesses Face Succession Issues

By Caixin Global

  • Family / Cover Story: China’s family-run businesses face succession issues 
  • China-U.S. /: China, U.S. ‘working together’ on Biden-Xi meeting at APEC next month
  • Personnel /: Communist Party names new economic czar

EA: Doves Near Inflation’s Trough

By Phil Rush

  • EA inflation plummeted by 1.4pp to 2.9% in Oct-23, 0.2pp beyond the consensus and within 0.1pp of our forecast again. But it is close to views prevailing since February.
  • The downside news concentrated on energy prices, as we expected, while the core matched forecasts by falling 0.3pp to 4.2%. National surprises broadly skewed lower.
  • We still expect a much smaller slowing in November before temporarily jumping into yearend. Recent downside news should encourage the ECB as it resists hiking again.
