crypto prices higher. specifically i think two factors actually drive these two classes. the first one is liquidity and the second one is the us dollar. let s talk about liquidity, i think in the past few weeks we have seen actually easing from china and also from the us. the fed has been injecting liquidity through overnight repo facility. also from a seasonality perspective. november, december tends to be quite favourable in terms of financial conditions. the rally in bonds and the fall of interest rates has helped also financial conditions to ease in the past few weeks. hence we have seen a surge in the liquidity and the system and that propels both gold and crypto currency higher. the next reason is the us dollar. both gold and crypto currencies are denominated in us dollars and when the us dollar becomes weaker, that is actually a tailwind for both asset classes. as we mentioned, given the market is now pricing in increasingly probabilities of cut starting as early as ap
