Trading Week Ended November 24, 2017 

Trading Gold is most likely close to the end of its bear market; analysts now are posting increasingly more about Gold. Financial debt happens to be deflationary mainly because it calls for somewhat considerable amounts of money to handle debt, much less paying it off. A living thing can't continue to keep inhaling; living thing has to exhale also.

The reason why the Federal Reserve does not understand this simple explanation. The Federal Reserve keeps inhaling to the choking stage, then when the choking level is hit, rather than breathing out, the Federal Reserve breathes in yet again. The Federal Reserve is convinced that it could breathe in forever - bull market, and don't breathe out - bear market.

US Trading Market

Trading on Wall Street was more decisive with economic numbers are helping to drive American stock market to higher and higher levels. Right now, sentiment drives on with President Trump proclaiming to the American people that they will get a tremendous tax cut gift for Christmas.

Stocks moderately added to this week's gains in a shortened trading week following Thursday's Thanksgiving break and Friday's abbreviated trading session, with volume staying subdued and also the retail segment in concentrating on Black Friday as unofficially started out critical holiday shopping season madness.

The Russell 2000 Index led the best way this week as domestically-oriented small-capacity securities had been moved up beginning the week with 1492.8 and ended the week with 1519.2 adding  26.34 points or 1.8%.

Eurozone and Asia-Pacific Market

Eurozone has witnessed much more muscle in the German DAX Index Friday following business conditions numbers struck fresh highs. Additionally, discussions that there might be a grand coalition have been considered as extremely positive. Nevertheless, one of the key chatting positions encompassed the banks and stories are emerging that Eurozone is getting ready to ease rules concerning bad bank dispels.

This news reports aided most bank securities, however, had an added benefits of a number of the sluggish peripheral banking institutions shares. Attention-grabbing fact is that the federal government bond marketplace is beginning to notice the strain and sellers turn to taking the lead at the moment. As a result, we had mixed finishes with core DAX30 Index, and French CAC40 which both added in about additional 0.3%, and UK's FTSE100 was small down.

Cryptocurrency Market

With all the most recent increases in crypto coins, the Bitcoin trading market value currently holds at $136 billion (136 thousand million), and Ethereum’s trading market value is right now at $35 billion (Thirty-five thousand million), as reported by CoinMarketCap. 

Friday’s break-out in Ethereum coin was prosperous, as the second most significant cryptocurrency passed the area of the long-standing resistance of $400 and presented double-digit increases subsequently.

As the Ethereum cryptocurrency rally carried on, Bitcoin stayed within the trading range of the most recent few days, in spite of a brief, volatile period. Bitcoin continues to be in the short-term upward trend, and as of this writing is flirting with $8,500 Level. With that being said, the long-term overview is once again extended, and I continue to anticipate a more serious correction within the cryptocurrency shortly.

The latest upward trend in ether crypto coins prices has come at the heels of the hypothesis that the cryptocurrency has been prepared to penetrate the derivatives market. As reported by Bloomberg a week ago that futures contracts on Ethereum could be made available from an unnamed exchange which is going by the code phrase “Virtuoso.” 

Experts say the likelihood of Bitcoin as well as Ethereum futures contracts had been prompted in part by an institutional move towards Bitcoin futures trading. In October, Chicago Mercantile Exchange & Chicago Board of Trade reported intentions to offer Bitcoin futures to institutional traders as well as investors (Learn more here). The futures contracts will also have a built-in system to cope with volatility, which has had developed into part and parcel connected with crypto investing and trading approach.
