The Bureau of Economic Analysis just dropped the delayed initial estimate for Q3 2025 GDP: **+4.3% annualized growth** 📈
That's the fastest pace in two years, beating expectations of ~3.3% and up from Q2's 3.8%.
Key drivers: - Strong consumer spending 💸 - Rebound in exports 🌍 - Increased government spending 🏛️ - Decrease in imports (boosts GDP calculation)
This resilient growth comes despite tariff uncertainties and a recent government shutdown. Momentum looks solid heading into year-end, though Q4 nowcasts (like Atlanta Fed's GDPNow) point to ~3.0%.
Bullish signal for risk assets? Crypto and markets often react positively to strong US data. What's your take? 👇
**BREAKING: US Labor Market Shows Resilience Ahead of Holidays 🇺🇸**
US Initial Jobless Claims for the week ending Dec 20 dropped to **214,000**, beating market expectations of 223,000-224,000.
This is a decline of 10,000 from the prior week's 224,000, signaling a tighter labor market despite seasonal holiday volatility.
Lower-than-expected claims are generally **bullish for risk assets**, supporting USD strength and potentially limiting aggressive Fed rate cuts in 2026.
Continuing claims rose slightly, but initial filings remain low historically.
Strong data = resilient US economy. What does this mean for crypto markets into year-end? 🚀📉
### 2025's Surprising Winners: Metals Soar While Bitcoin Takes a Dip
As we wrap up 2025, the markets have delivered some jaw-dropping twists. While cryptocurrencies have faced headwinds, traditional commodities—especially precious and industrial metals—have been on an absolute tear. Here's a quick rundown of the year-to-date price surges:
- **Platinum**: Up a staggering +157%! This metal's rally has been fueled by surging demand in automotive catalysts and green energy tech. - **Silver**: Not far behind at +149%, driven by solar panel production and electronics boom. - **Gold**: A solid +71% gain, reaffirming its status as a safe-haven amid global uncertainties. - **Copper**: +39%, powered by the EV revolution and infrastructure spending worldwide. - **Lithium**: +35%, as battery demand keeps electric vehicles and renewables in high gear.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin ($BTC ) is closing the year down 7%, a rare underperformance in a volatile crypto space. Is this a sign of shifting investor sentiment towards tangible assets in an era of economic flux? Or just a temporary breather for digital gold?

President Trump has reportedly made it clear in recent statements that his pick for the next Federal Reserve Chairman must align closely with his views on monetary policy—particularly aggressive interest rate cuts.
While no exact quote matches "anybody that disagrees with me will never be Fed chairman," Trump has emphasized selecting someone who "believes in lower interest rates by a lot" and that the president "should be listened to" on rates.
This comes amid ongoing speculation on Jerome Powell's successor (term ends May 2026), with frontrunners like Kevin Hassett and Kevin Warsh.
Markets watching closely: Could this signal more dovish Fed policy ahead, boosting risk assets like #BTC? Or raise concerns over central bank independence?
What do you think—bullish for crypto if rates plunge? 📉💥
