📈 Key Prices | October 15 Morning
Spot gold: approximately $4,083.94 per ounce, quoted at 02:05 Beijing time.
December Brent futures settled at $106.06 per barrel, up 0.35%; November WTI settled at $95.09, up 1.01%. Both are October 14 settlements.

👀 Cryptocurrency Performance
BTC: Approximately 81,610.50 USDT, down 2.11% over 24 hours.
ETH: Approximately 2,413.85 USDT, down 3.67% over 24 hours.
Total cryptocurrency market capitalization: Approximately $2.76 trillion, down 4.97% over 24 hours; updated at 09:18 Beijing time.

📈 Market Takeaway
BTC’s approximately $81,500 ETF cost reference lies close to the lower $80,600–81,200 liquidation cluster, making this a near-term area to watch. A break below the cost reference followed by a move into the lower cluster could intensify deleveraging pressure. ETH is also closer to its lower cluster, putting downside buying interest in focus; the maps alone do not establish a certain price direction.

🔥 Market Highlights

🔴 Semiconductors: ASML reported approximately €11.7 billion in third-quarter sales and narrowed full-year sales guidance to €44–45 billion, but its shares fell 3.94%. TSMC’s earnings conference at 14:00 Beijing time will put advanced-node demand and capital spending in focus.
🔴 Bank Earnings: Morgan Stanley attracted approximately $232 billion in wealth-management net new assets. Bank of America’s net interest income rose 8% year over year, while a regulatory settlement charge weighed on reported earnings. Their shares fell 2.75% and 4.76%, respectively.

🏛 Institutional View
Reuters reported on October 14 that Adam Sarhan, CEO of 50 Park Investments, viewed the inflation release as adding pressure on the Fed to fight inflation. Earnings improvement and tightening risk need to be assessed together, rather than focusing only on individual companies’ revenue growth.
