Gold Price Today (10.11.2025): XAU/USD jumps above $4,070 as Fed cut bets rise; Senate advances plan to end U.S. shutdown

Fed Cuts Rates Amid Data “Fog” – Stocks Hit Record Highs as More Easing Likely

Fed Injects $125B in Five Days as Banks Tap SRF; John Williams Signals Balance‑Sheet Expansion Could Be Next (November 7, 2025)

Dateline — November 7, 2025. The Federal Reserve’s money‑market backstop has roared to life at month‑end and into this week. Banks drew on the Standing Repo Facility in record size at the turn of October, part of a roughly $125 billion burst of short‑term liquidity across five trading days aimed at smoothing funding markets and averting a broader credit squeeze. Today, New York Fed President John Williams said the Fed may soon need to rebuild reserves by gradually purchasing assets—a technical step for liquidity management, not a policy pivot—after the Fed’s decision last week to halt quantitative tightening on December 1.

Stocks Skyrocket to Record Highs as Fed Set to Cut Rates Again

Fed’s $50 Billion Repo Bailout: Credit Crunch Canary or Just Month-End Jitters?

Late last week, U.S. money markets showed unusual signs of strain. On Friday, October 31, banks and dealers suddenly found cash in short supply to meet their routine funding needs. Overnight lending rates – the cost for banks to borrow short-term cash – surged above the Federal Reserve’s target range, indicating that banks were scrambling for dollarsreuters.com. In response, the Federal Reserve executed a massive repo operation to flood the system with cash and stabilize rates. In a repo, a bank can borrow overnight from the Fed by posting high-quality securities as collateral, then buying them back the next dayabc.net.au. This common but usually modest operation became dramatic: the Fed’s Standing Repo Facility – a permanent liquidity backstop launched in 2021 – lent out a record $50.35 billion in two rounds that dayreuters.comreuters.com. For context, that’s the highest one-day cash infusion since the Fed’s emergency interventions in early 2020economictimes.indiatimes.com. “This was the first time the SRF functioned as designed,” said veteran repo trader Scott Skyrm, noting the facility finally got heavy use when private lending rates shot upreuters.com.

$100 B Bank Fraud Scandal Triggers Global Market Rout – DAX Sinks Below 24,000 Amid ‘Cockroach’ Fears

Market Jitters: Fed and AI Bubble Fears Sink DAX Below 24,000

By midday, the DAX sank to around 23,750 points, giving up most of the prior session’s gains. This decline was in line with a broader market pullback: France’s CAC 40 was down roughly 1.3% and London’s FTSE 100 about 0.8% in the same sessiontimesofindia.indiatimes.com.

Fed Cuts Rates Amid Data “Fog” – Stocks Hit Record Highs as More Easing Likely

Mortgage Rates Hit Yearly Low After Fed’s Cut – Why Experts Say 3% Mortgages Are Gone for Good

After climbing to painful highs earlier in 2025, mortgage rates have finally pulled back in recent weeks – offering a dose of relief to homebuyers and refinancers. The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage now hovers around 6.2% as of November 4nerdwallet.com. That’s down from the ~7%+ range seen at the start of the year and marks the lowest level for rates in about 14 monthsthemortgagereports.com. Freddie Mac’s weekly survey showed the 30-year average easing to 6.17% at the end of October, the fourth consecutive weekly drop and the lowest since late 2024themortgagereports.comthemortgagereports.com. The 15-year fixed now sits around 5.5–5.7% at many lenders, while popular hybrid adjustable-rate loans are averaging roughly 6.5–6.7% in their initial periodnerdwallet.comnerdwallet.com. Over the past week, rates have been relatively steady. NerdWallet reports the 30-year fixed rose a few basis points in early November – about 0.06 percentage points higher than last week’s averagenerdwallet.com. But zooming out, today’s rates are nearly half a percent lower than a year agonerdwallet.com, when the same 30-year loan averaged around 6.7% in fall 2024.

Hawkish Fed Can’t Stop Nasdaq’s Record Tech Rally – What It Means for Investors

Hawkish Fed Can’t Stop Nasdaq’s Record Tech Rally – What It Means for Investors

After over a year of high interest rates, the Federal Reserve finally eased policy with a 0.25% rate cut at its late-October meeting. This widely expected cut was aimed at supporting the cooling job market, but it came with a notable caveat: Fed Chair Jerome Powell and other officials stressed that further rate reductions are not guaranteedreuters.com. In Powell’s words, another cut in December is “not a foregone conclusion.” On the Friday after the meeting, Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic reinforced that a December cut was “not locked in,” and Cleveland Fed’s Beth Hammack revealed she opposed the October cut because inflation was still too highreuters.com. This hawkish tone surprised some investors who had banked on a steady stream of rate cuts into 2026. In fact, the probability of a December rate cut sank to about 65% once the Fed’s caution became clearreuters.com. Bond yields, which move opposite to prices, remain elevated – the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield hovered around 4.1%, near its highest level in weeksinvestopedia.com. Such high long-term rates can act as a headwind for stocks by raising borrowing costs and making safer assets more attractive.

Fed Cuts Rates Amid Data “Fog” – Stocks Hit Record Highs as More Easing Likely

Fed Cuts Rates Again but Powell Drops a Bombshell – Markets React to Fed’s November Moves

In the Fed’s highly anticipated late-October meeting, officials voted 10–2 to cut the federal funds rate by 0.25%, setting a new target range of 3.75% to 4.00%reuters.comfederalreserve.gov. This marked the second rate reduction of 2025, following a similar cut in September. The move was widely expected and intended “to temper any further weakening of the job market,” according to Reutersreuters.com. Recent data showed job growth losing steam and unemployment inching up, so the Fed acted to provide some stimulus to the economy. Alongside the rate cut, the Fed unveiled a significant balance-sheet policy change: it will halt the drawdown of its bond holdings by Decemberreuters.com. In practical terms, this means an end to “quantitative tightening” – instead of letting its Treasury and mortgage-backed security portfolio shrink, the Fed will keep its roughly $6.6 trillion in holdings steady for nowreuters.com. Officials even discussed limited Treasury bill purchases to ensure smooth market functioningreuters.com. This liquidity boost is a backstop against recent money-market strains, signaling the Fed’s commitment to prevent funding squeezes.
