U.S Sept payrolls +29k, U-rate 4.2%, wages +3.0% y/y. July/Aug revised −60k combined. Labour market is cooling, not cracking.
Soft jobs + tame wages = more room for Fed cuts. Stocks: mild risk-on if cuts stay the story; watch growth/duration. BTC: liquidity bid if rates ease, but a recession scare flips it risk-off. Not financial advice.

Investors may be looking at the wrong chart.
Everyone watches the S&P 500, Bitcoin, gold and house prices.
But one of the most important charts in markets right now is this:
30-year government bond yields.
Why?
Because if governments are willing to pay investors 4%, 5%, 6%+ for long-term capital…
then risky assets have competition again.
A stock trading at 35x earnings?
A property yielding 4%?
A corporate bond paying only slightly more than government debt?
A private-market investment targeting 8%?
Suddenly the maths looks very different.
Higher sovereign yields raise the hurdle rate across the entire financial system.
They can:
→ compress equity valuations
→ pressure property prices
→ increase corporate refinancing costs
→ reduce private-equity returns
→ make dividend stocks less attractive
→ make cash and bonds competitive again
Even Bitcoin and gold are affected because investors must weigh their potential upside against a real return available elsewhere.
But don't make the mistake of simply buying the country with the highest yield.
A 7% bond in one currency is not the same thing as a 5% bond in another.
Inflation and FX can wipe out the difference.
The question investors should increasingly ask isn't:
“What could go up the most?”
It's:
“What return am I getting for the risk I'm taking?”
@TheRealPlanC@TheRealPlanC thanks mate. A quick feedback which I know you have heard before but would be good to have a date mentioned instead of “today”.
@elonmusk has been asking for the Epstein files to be released AND action taken from day 1. Even then if you think he is involved in some way then I have nothing to say to you!

Thanks for the article @TheRealPlanC and @sminston_with. I have read this in full and would also like to add that I got interested in this correlation a couple of years ago when I heard @RaoulGMI spoke about it on a livestream. Also, this article by @martykendall2 is a good read on this topic : https://t.co/XmCQTqW7VQ
