The Start of today's session on Wall Street began without a clear direction. However, after comments from FOMC members, the markets received a clear signal to rise.

EURUSD briefly broke through the key barrier of 1.10. However, the pair has currently pulled back below this level and remains around 1.0980, gaining 0.25%.

One of the more volatile currency pairs today is USDJPY. The Japanese yen is strong, which, combined with a weaker dollar, results in a drop of about 0.75%, below 147,500.

Comments from FOMC members:
-
Bowman - higher interest rates may be necessary to maintain low and stable inflation (advocates for rate hikes if the pace of inflation decline is halted)
-
Waller - if inflation continues to fall, there is a possibility of lowering interest rates. Waller is optimistic, with initial voices about rate cuts emerging.
-
Goolsbee - notes progress in lowering inflation, except for food prices, but admits it has not yet reached the target.

US real estate market data showed that home prices in September set record levels despite high-interest rates, which translated into low mortgage availability. According to the S&P Case-Shiller index, home price growth was 3.9% year-over-year, previously at 2.1% y/y.

The Conference Board Index rebounded to 102.0 points, breaking three consecutive months of declines.

WTI oil gains 2.0%, despite a momentary hesitation midday, due to reports from 4 different sources that talks between OPEC+ countries are expected to be very difficult.
-
GPW had a successful session. Despite mixed sentiments in Europe, the Polish WIG20 index gained over 1.4% today.
-
In the cryptocurrency market, green prevails, though the scale of gains is limited. Bitcoin is up 2.5% today and is testing the 38,000 USD level. However, if BTC closes above this level, it will be a new ATH in 2023.
-
Precious metals had a successful session, due to the weakness of the dollar. Gold and silver gained over 1.2%, and platinum added more than 2%. Palladium is the only one lagging, losing 1.5%.
Gold quotes knocked out a key resistance zone at $2,000 in yesterday's session, and today the upward movement continues. The levels of $2,050 and $2,060 should be considered as the nearest resistances, respectively. Source: xStation5
