@virtualbacon☕️ GM! Here are the most important market events over the last 24 hours: 🌍Market Overview: 🔸 Brent dropped below $101 a barrel Monday, a fourth straight down session, after US Central Command's Adm. Brad Cooper said Hormuz oil and LNG shipments hit a six-month high. Cheaper crude eases the inflation math. 🔸 Scott Bessent and He Lifeng agreed to set up a U.S.-China AI Dialogue with a notification mechanism for AI incidents. Asian stocks and US equity futures rose on the talks, chipmakers leading. #AI 🔸 Neel Kashkari says inflation is still too high across the whole US economy, not just energy, after dissenting for a hike at the prior FOMC meeting. Falling oil buys the doves less than they hoped. 🔸 Nvidia's Jensen Huang has become the White House counterweight to the AI-slowdown camp, revenue at $215 billion last fiscal year against $17 billion in 2021, and a seat at the Xi state dinner. #NVDA 🔸 United Russia is headed for a record Duma majority on 57.83% of the party-list vote, and Ukraine's largest drone attack yet on the Moscow region killed three people and damaged an oil refinery in the capital. 🔸 Friedrich Merz called the CDU's 5% finish in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania a disaster, its worst state result since World War II, and refused to retreat from his reform agenda. 🪙Crypto Updates: 🔸 Bitcoin closed a week above its 50-week moving average for the first time in 45 weeks, which Galaxy's Alex Thorn reads as possible confirmation the bear phase is done. Holding near $78,115 is the test. #Bitcoin 🔸 Hyperliquid pulled in $429.04 million through Sept. 15, first in CoinGecko's adjusted 2026 revenue ranking and 12.62% of the $3.40 billion pool, ahead of Pump.​fun's $322.21 million. Fees buy HYPE. #HYPE 🔸 ZetaChain holders approved winding down their own layer-1 and reissuing ZETA on Solana 1:1, proposal 68 passing with 99.4% support on 58% participation. A second vote still sets the snapshot and halt schedule. 🔸 Uniswap governance opened a temperature check on extending its protocol fee collection and UNI burn infrastructure to Arc, the L1 Circle built. Voting ends Sept. 23. 🔸 SecondFi told users to skip the Sept. 22 NIGHT claim: Midnight only accepts claims from the original wallet, and the 374 wallets drained of 16.1 million ADA in June would hand the tokens straight to the attacker. 🔸 Gemini's stock is down about 80% since its debut, market value off from roughly $4 billion at the peak to $753 million, with the Winklevoss twins on 94.5% of voting power. No active bid on the table. #crypto
@tdatadrivenBig move to start the week: Bitcoin broke above $85,000, Nasdaq futures jumped over 1% on a chip-sector rally, and the S&P 500 has now erased its entire monthly decline all in one session. What's driving it: 🔹 Oil fell for a 4th straight session (longest losing streak since June) on hopes for US-Iran diplomatic progress Brent back near $102 from last week's $108 highs 🔹 10-year Treasury yield eased to ~4.97%, pulling back from Friday's 5.00% peak 🔹 Markets are looking past ongoing Houthi-Saudi fighting and Russia-linked security warnings in Europe, choosing to price in the positive catalysts instead: Thursday's Trump-Xi summit (trade, AI, Taiwan on the agenda) and improving Hormuz shipping flows under US naval protection SMC read: this is a textbook "fade the fear, price the hope" rotation oil retreating and yields easing simultaneously removed the two biggest headwinds we tracked all last week (inflation fear + rate pressure). When BTC, Nasdaq, and risk assets all break higher together on the SAME macro relief, that's genuine risk-on, not a single-asset move. Next test: does this hold into Thursday's Trump-Xi meeting, or was today's gap just relief-driven and due for a pullback first? DYOR. Not financial advice.
