📰 Financial News

The November 6 U.S. employment report showed 165,000 October payroll gains and 4.1% unemployment. The Fed held 3.75% to 4.00% on October 28. Tuesday CPI and Friday PPI test the rate path. These are dated observations, not explanations of every Friday price move.

CBOE:SPX: The Fed held its policy-rate range at 3.75%-4.00% on October 28. The S&P 500 latest November 6 print rose; the Fed decision is rates context, not a claimed cause. Source

COINBASE:BTCUSD: Bitcoin trades through the U.S. stock-market weekend. Treasury said on November 6 that FinCEN moved to cut MEXC Global off from the U.S. financial system over alleged illicit flows. No causal link to Sunday spot trades is established. Source

COINBASE:ETHUSD: The Ethereum Foundation said November 6 that Glamsterdam EIP-8037/8038 testing exposed vulnerable projects; developers delayed the hard-fork process pending fixes. The update does not itself explain Sunday spot price. Source

COMEX:GC1!: World Gold Council said November 5 that October gold weakness reflected asset rotation, de-grossing and Fed rate-path repricing. Friday gold futures declined as the dollar index rose, a same-session observation rather than proof of cause. Source

COMEX:SI1!: Friday silver futures fell while the dollar index and 10-year yield rose. The Fed hold frames rate sensitivity; no new silver-specific primary-source development was verified. Source

NYMEX:CL1!: EIA reported November 4 that commercial crude inventories fell 0.9 million barrels to 409.8 million. Friday WTI rose; the inventory draw is context, not a proven sole cause. Source

NASDAQ:SPCX: SpaceX announced November 6 that Don Harrison stepped down from its board effective November 4. An October 26 issuer release described an approximately $40 billion committed GPU finance lease, subject to closing conditions; Friday SPCX rose, with no direct causation established. Source

NASDAQ:NVDA: SpaceX said October 26 that a committed approximately $40 billion GPU finance lease would deliver NVIDIA Vera Rubin chips, with entry subject to closing conditions and deliveries expected in 2027. This is AI infrastructure demand context, not proof that the older announcement caused Friday NVIDIA price action. No newer NVIDIA-specific issuer event was verified. Source

TVC:DXY: The dollar index rose in Friday trading. The October 28 Fed hold supplies the rates backdrop, without establishing why the dollar moved. Source

TVC:US10Y: The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield finished Friday at 4.859% in the TradingView feed, up 0.016 percentage points. The Fed policy stance is relevant rates context. Source

NASDAQ:STRC: Strategy maintained STRC at a 12.00% annual variable stated rate for November and its issuer API shows an upcoming November 8 record date and November 9 payment. Friday $99.84 close implies 12.02% if the annual rate persisted; future rate and cash payouts are not guaranteed. Source

NYSE:XOM: ExxonMobil declared a $1.07 quarterly common dividend payable December 10 and reported $19.1 billion of third-quarter free cash flow. The November 4 U.S. crude inventory draw is current oil context. Source

Next forward event: Moon conjunct Mercury, November 8 at 06:02 MST (13:02 UTC). Inspect November 8 at 00:42–11:22 MST (3° orb). New Moon in Scorpio follows November 9 at 00:02 MST; inspect November 8 at 11:27 through November 9 at 12:43 MST. Scores measure geometry or station speed, not market direction; price action has the final vote.

Price action, volume and liquidity have the final vote. Inspect a defined price range before interpreting timing.

🌙 Moon Phase

At 05:00 MST, the Moon was a waning crescent in Scorpio, 0.8% illuminated at tropical longitude 217.00°. The same computed lunar position supplies phase, sign and illumination. The New Moon in Scorpio is exact November 9 at 00:02 MST; it is not an eclipse.

A waning Scorpio Moon can be a prompt to review hidden assumptions before a new cycle. This is interpretation, not an astronomical prediction.

Treat the November 9 New Moon as a timing inspection. Define a price range and invalidation in advance; volume and liquidity must confirm any move, not Moon geometry.
