🚀 U.S. Treasury's Quarterly Refinancing Announcement Gains Importance Amid Unusual Times

LPL Financial's Chief Fixed Income Strategist Lawrence Gillum and Chief Economist Jeffrey Roach have highlighted the significance of the U.S. Treasury's Quarterly Refinancing Announcement (QRA) during atypical periods. According to Jin10, they noted that in most quarters, the QRA typically confirms existing market expectations. The Treasury usually adjusts auction sizes gradually and incrementally, providing signals well in advance. For instance, increasing the auction size of 10-year Treasury bonds by $1 billion to $2 billion rarely impacts the market significantly, as such changes are either anticipated or too minor to fundamentally alter the supply-demand balance. However, the experts emphasized that during unconventional times or when borrowing plans deviate from market expectations, the QRA becomes crucial. The U.S. Treasury is scheduled to release a new round of quarterly refinancing announcements on Wednesday, February 4, 2026.

🚀 River's Price Decline Follows Strategic Funding Announcement

Foresight News posted on X (formerly Twitter). On January 23, River announced the completion of a $12 million strategic funding round, with public support from CryptoHayes. Interestingly, shortly after the announcement, the price of RIVER peaked and then began to decline.

CoinGlass has previously used RIVER as an example to discuss how funding rates can be manipulated to influence price fluctuations, highlighting that this pattern has been observed in multiple tokens over the past two years. They emphasize that many traders misunderstand funding rates, which do not provide directional signals but rather indicate the imbalance between long and short positions, showing which side of the market is more crowded.

The first step involves suppressing the price while pushing the funding rate into a deeply negative territory. This results in a concentration of short positions, creating a market consensus that a negative funding rate signals an impending rebound.

In the second step, some traders are induced to go long during the deeply negative funding rate phase, motivated by the expectation of a rebound and the desire to receive funding rate payments. This expectation is described as part of a trap.

CoinGlass argues that during extreme negative funding rates, prices do not need to undergo a trend reversal. A controlled upward push in the market can trigger a chain reaction among short positions, including liquidations, stop-losses, and passive covering.

🚀 Gold and Silver Markets Experience Rebound Amid Position Adjustments

On February 3, several institutions highlighted that the rapid rebound in gold and silver prices following a historic sell-off is primarily due to position adjustments and short-term catalysts, rather than a trend reversal. According to BlockBeats, despite technical indicators showing overheating and crowded positions, the long-term drivers supporting the bull market for gold and silver remain strong.

Deutsche Bank noted that the recent decline in gold and silver prices has been more significant than the apparent negative factors suggest. The willingness of official, institutional, and individual investors to allocate resources has not substantially deteriorated. The current environment differs fundamentally from the prolonged weakness in precious metals seen in the 1980s or 2013.

Barclays also pointed out that in the context of geopolitical uncertainty, rising policy risks, and the diversification of reserve assets, the demand for gold remains resilient. For silver, although its market is smaller and more volatile due to high retail participation, its industrial attributes are becoming a crucial support.

Analysts emphasize that the demand for silver in sectors such as solar energy, data centers, and AI infrastructure continues to grow. Over the coming years, the rate of supply increase is unlikely to match the expansion in demand, and the expected supply-demand gap remains unchanged, maintaining the foundation for a silver bull market.

🚀 HSBC Economists Predict Cautious Approach by Reserve Bank of Australia on Rate Hikes

HSBC economists have indicated that the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) is unlikely to implement consecutive interest rate hikes. According to Jin10, the bank aims to allow time to assess the impact of the recent 25 basis point increase. During a press conference, RBA Governor Philip Lowe emphasized that the board will adopt a 'cautious approach' to further rate hikes. In a report, Paul Bloxham and Jamie Culling noted that the RBA's statement was notably hawkish, and they anticipate another 25 basis point increase in the third quarter, which would raise the rate to 4.10%. Previously, the RBA decided on Tuesday to raise the cash rate by 25 basis points, bringing it to 3.85%.

🚀 Binance to Adjust Interest Rates on INTCUSDT and HOODUSDT Contracts

According to the announcement from Binance, the cryptocurrency exchange will implement changes to the interest rates of INTCUSDT and HOODUSDT Perpetual Contracts. Effective from 2026-02-03 16:15 (UTC), the interest rate component of the funding rate for these contracts will be set to 0%. This adjustment is part of Binance's ongoing efforts to optimize its product and service offerings for users globally.

The funding rate, a crucial element in perpetual contracts, consists of two components: the interest rate and the premium. The formula for calculating the funding rate is: Funding Rate (F) = [Average Premium Index (P) + clamp (interest rate - Premium Index (P), 0.05%, -0.05%)] / (8 / N). While the interest rate will be set to 0%, the funding rate may still fluctuate based on the premium index, which becomes the sole influencing factor under these conditions.

Users interested in monitoring the latest funding rate and interest rate can access the Real-Time Funding Rate page. Additionally, API users have the option to query USDⓈ-M futures funding rate information through the newly added endpoint: GET /fapi/v1/fundingInfo. This change underscores Binance's commitment to providing a seamless trading experience by regularly reviewing and adjusting its offerings. The exchange advises users to stay informed about these updates to make well-informed trading decisions.

🚀 Arthur Hayes Reduces Holdings in Multiple Crypto Assets

🚀 MIT Ethics Scandal Unrelated to Bitcoin's Origins

PANews posted on X (formerly Twitter). There is no public evidence to support claims that Jeffrey Epstein's money funded Bitcoin Core. While Bitcoin's history is indeed complex, involving various institutions, individuals, and historical contexts, conflating different events and their associated emotions or symbols only obscures the truly important aspects. It is crucial to stop making associative implications and stigmatizing narratives.

🚀 India's Economic Growth May Surpass Government Forecasts After U.S. Tariff Cuts

India's Chief Economic Advisor has indicated that the country's economic growth could exceed earlier government forecasts following significant reductions in U.S. tariffs on Indian goods. According to Jin10, Anantha Nageswaran mentioned in an interview that the growth rate might approach the estimated 7.4% for this year. He noted that the tariff announcement was made on Monday evening, and he needs to verify his calculations. In a recent economic survey report, he had predicted a growth rate between 6.8% and 7.2%.

When questioned about the potential impact on energy prices if India ceases purchasing discounted Russian oil, the Chief Economic Advisor stated that historically, crude oil prices between $60 and $70 per barrel have not posed a problem for the Indian economy. He declined to comment on specifics, including how India plans to increase its procurement from the United States over the next five years.

🚀 Indonesia Sees Opportunity in MSCI Transparency Warning

Indonesia's Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa has expressed optimism despite a recent warning from MSCI regarding corporate transparency that led to a sharp decline in local stock markets. According to Jin10, Purbaya stated in Jakarta on Tuesday that MSCI's warning represents an opportunity for Indonesia's fundamentally strong economy. He noted that last week's market downturn was driven by anxiety rather than a collapse, joking that market sentiment would improve once investors recognize his leadership.

Purbaya emphasized that enhancing transparency could address market issues and ultimately improve the country's economic situation. MSCI warned last week that if necessary reforms are not implemented by May, longstanding concerns about investment viability could result in Indonesia being downgraded to a "frontier market." This warning triggered a significant sell-off, wiping out billions of dollars in market value, causing trading interruptions, and prompting substantial foreign capital outflows.

🚀 UK Supermarket Promotions Lead to Lowest Food Inflation Since April

Food inflation in the UK has dropped to its lowest level since April of last year, driven by the popularity of supermarket own brands and promotional activities. According to Jin10, in the four weeks leading up to January 25, the inflation rate for similar food items slightly decreased to 4% compared to the same period last year. This data, released by Worldpanel, a subsidiary of Numerator, offers some relief to consumers facing tight budgets.

The latest figures indicate that household budgets remain under pressure, especially after some supermarkets reported lower-than-expected sales during the crucial Christmas period. Although the rate of increase in food prices slowed last month, it still surpasses the overall inflation rate in the UK. The Bank of England anticipates that the overall inflation rate will fall to its 2% target in the next quarter.

Fraser McKevitt, Head of Retail and Consumer Insight at Worldpanel, noted, "For most shoppers, January is typically a month to replan household budgets, and this year is no exception. While food sales continue to grow and inflation has reached its lowest level in months, 'value for money' remains a top priority for many."
