Trump May Appoint New Federal Reserve Chair in the First Week of January
Sources familiar with the situation revealed that U.S. President Trump may appoint a new Federal Reserve Chair in the first week of January.
Federal Reserve Governor Milan: The Necessity of Supporting a 50 Basis Point Rate Cut Has Weakened
Federal Reserve Governor Milan stated that as recent monetary policy adjustments progress, the necessity of supporting a 50 basis point rate cut has weakened. Milan pointed out that there have been some abnormal fluctuations in recent inflation data, some of which are related to the government shutdown. These abnormal signals suggest that the Federal Reserve's policy stance should adjust towards a more accommodative direction. He emphasized that there is currently no risk of the economy falling into recession in the short term, but believes that the neutral interest rate level has clearly shifted downwards, and monetary policy must reflect this structural change. If the policy rate fails to be continuously lowered to approach the new neutral level, it may instead increase the risk of the economy falling into recession. Additionally, regarding his own term, Milan admitted he is uncertain whether he will remain in office. He stated: If by the end of January no successor has been confirmed, I will assume I will continue in my role.
Russian Central Bank Acknowledges Cryptocurrency Mining May Support Ruble Appreciation
Elvira Nabiullina, the head of the Russian Central Bank, recently stated that cryptocurrency mining may be an additional factor supporting the ruble's exchange rate, but its specific impact is difficult to quantify as most of the industry remains in a gray area. A presidential administration official, Maxim Oreshkin, previously pointed out that the financial liquidity associated with cryptocurrency mining may not have been fully estimated, leading to inaccurate predictions of the ruble's exchange rate. According to industry associations, Russia is currently the second-largest cryptocurrency mining country in the world, accounting for over 16% of global computing power. Starting from November 1, 2024, Russia has begun implementing new regulations allowing legal entities and individual entrepreneurs registered in a special registry to mine cryptocurrencies legally, while also setting clear limits on energy consumption and income reporting.

Analysis: S&P 500 May Experience "Christmas Rally," Bitcoin Faces Key Seasonal Window
Historical data shows that the S&P 500 index tends to rise during the last week of December and the first two trading days of January each year. If this scenario repeats, it may alleviate Bitcoin's current difficulties, as Bitcoin is experiencing its toughest fourth quarter since 2022. Market statistics indicate that since 2005, the S&P 500 index has risen 15 times during the "Christmas rally" period and only fallen 5 times, with an average increase of 0.58%. However, Bitcoin's "Christmas rally" history has been tumultuous, with strong rebounds of 33% and 46% in 2011 and 2016, respectively, while other years have shown weak performance, such as a 14% drop in 2014 and a 10% drop in 2021.
