The US presidential election has gradually faded from people's sight, and investors' attention has shifted to the Federal Reserve meeting on September 18. Any policy mistakes could disrupt the market, which is already nervous due to signs of economic growth slowdown. Rocky Fishman, founder of derivatives analysis company Asym500, said, "The main focus of the market in recent times may be on the Federal Reserve and the beginning of the interest rate cut cycle. Although stock options have reflected higher risks around the election day, the actual trading volume of options related to the election has been limited." Traders are also waiting for the debate between Harris and Trump on Tuesday to further determine their bets on who will win the election. Investors will analyze the candidates' positions on issues such as tariffs, immigration policies, and corporate taxes. John Divine, head of over-the-counter trading at digital asset trading and technology company Block Fills, said that the short-term positioning of Bitcoin is exceptionally bleak. He said, "The current bet is bearish before October 25th, and slightly bullish before the election. When looking at November, we begin to see that the call options are trading at higher prices than the put options, but this is not the case, which is quite shocking to me and highlights the panic in the market." Divine added that although Trump is more favored by the cryptocurrency market, the boundaries of who supports the crypto industry are becoming increasingly blurred. "I don't think the market is trading entirely for the winner of the November election. More importantly, they are using this event to push the narrative that fits the current bearish stance."

On September 6th, Telegram founder Pavel Durov spoke out through Telegram after being arrested in France, stating that the idea of Telegram being an anarchist paradise is absolutely untrue. We delete millions of harmful posts and channels every day and release daily transparency reports. We also have direct channels of contact with non-governmental organizations to expedite emergency regulatory requests. The number of Telegram users has grown rapidly to 950 million, causing growing pains for the platform and making it easier for criminals to abuse it. That's why I have made significant improvements to this situation my personal goal. We have already started this process internally and will soon share more details about our progress with everyone."

The release of US non-farm payroll data on Friday will be the biggest test for Citigroup and JPMorgan, who have boldly bet on a 50 basis point rate cut in September. For more than a year, foreign exchange traders have never been as excited as they are now before the release of the US employment report. Options used to measure the trend of the US dollar against major trading partners' exchange rates hit the highest level since March 2023 on the eve of the key non-farm payroll data release. Risk reversal data shows a pervasive bearish sentiment for the US dollar. Since the weaker-than-expected July non-farm payroll data was released on August 2, Citigroup and JPMorgan have predicted that the Fed will cut interest rates by 50 basis points in both September and November, and by 25 basis points in December. Interest rate swap contracts show that the probability of the Fed cutting interest rates by 50 basis points at the September 17-18 meeting is about 35%, but traders and economists believe that a 25 basis point cut is still the most likely.

The report said that Putin also joked that Harris' laughter is "expressive and infectious," which shows that "she is doing everything well."
