The S&P 500 gained 1.22% to a record high last week after the Fed’s rate cut, with futures steady as markets await the PCE inflation report. Gold edged up to $3,685 as Fed rate cuts and rising geopolitical risks support demand, though Powell’s cautious tone may limit upside. CoinDesk Indices, which track the broader crypto market, fell 2.80% in the past 24 hours, while Bitcoin and Ether down 0.82% and 3.53%, respectively.
