Prior to this, Cerebras' stock had faced consecutive downward pressure, with market focus on the progress of its future collaboration with OpenAI.

Swiss leading pure private bank and wealth management group Julius Baer forecasts the U.S. Federal Reserve will deliver its final 25 basis point interest rate hike in December, after which it will enter an extended pause. The bank notes that the U.S. labor market is cooling, and financial conditions have tightened significantly—driven primarily by rising long-term Treasury yields and a stronger U.S. dollar, rather than higher short-term interest rates. December is now seen as the most likely window for the final rate hike.

According to statistics from XWIN Japan, in the 12 months following all 19 U.S. midterm elections since 1950, the S&P 500 index has risen, with an average gain of 15.4%. The third year of a U.S. president’s term has historically been its strongest performing period. In the crypto market, Bitcoin has posted gains of 24.5%, 44.9%, and 92.3% in the 12 months after the 2014, 2018, and 2022 midterm elections respectively. However, Bitcoin dropped 45.5% in the first month after the 2018 election. It should be noted that there are only three observed data points for the crypto market, which is insufficient to form a reliable pattern. Analysts suggest that after midterm elections are finalized, attention should be paid to whether yields stabilize, institutional buying persists, and regulatory progress is made. Political tailwinds may benefit Bitcoin, but sustained growth still requires favorable market conditions to align.

NEAR Protocol announced that MyNearWallet, a non-custodial wallet in the NEAR ecosystem, will cease operations on October 31, requiring users to migrate to a new wallet or access method. NEAR stressed that user assets remain stored on-chain and are not custodied by MyNearWallet, so the wallet’s retirement will not impact the on-chain assets themselves. The official advised users to perform a small test before migrating and retain their original wallet recovery information until all balances are confirmed as transferred. MyNearWallet will gradually transition to migration and recovery functions moving forward.
