Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's shift away from forward guidance has led to fluctuating rate hike expectations, dropping from 70% to 25% for October.

U.S. nonfarm payrolls added just 29,000 jobs in September, well below the expected 90,000, while the unemployment rate rose to 4.2%.

The U.S. September nonfarm payrolls report arrives as initial jobless claims sit near historical lows at 197,000.

Bitunix Analyst: Resilient U.S. Consumption and Employment Keep Treasury Yields Rising Despite Cooling Inflation
U.S. core PCE inflation slowed to 3.0% YoY in August, but a 0.6% surge in real personal consumption and stronger ADP employment figures drove 10-year Treasury yields up to 5.295%.

Bitunix Token Pulse Weekly: QNT Surges 260% as HYPE Falls More Than 10%, Crypto Market Divergence Widens
This week (September 25–30, 2026) saw a clear crypto market pullback, with BTC sliding from above $87,000 to around $83,000. On the macro front, escalating U.S.-Iran tensions pushed Brent crude back toward $105 per barrel, fueling inflation concerns and driving U.S. Treasury yields higher—the 30-year yield briefly hit 5.62%—pressuring risk assets. Market breadth was split: the median 7-day change among Bitunix's top 300 tokens was -0.05%, with roughly half gaining. BTC fell 3.80% and ETH 3.41%, while HYPE dropped 11.15%. The gainers' list was led by Quant's QNT, up 261.22%, as the DeFi sector stayed strong on SEC "innovation exemption" expectations, with ONDO, AERO, COMP, and JUP each rising over 10%. The decliners were led by USELESS, ZAMA, and LIT as previously strong tokens gave back gains. For QNT, The Clearing House's September 28 selection of Quant to support its tokenized bank deposit network, combined with on-chain activity from market makers Wintermute and Cumberland, drove the sharp rally; the $428 all-time high is the key level to watch. U.S. stock contracts traded sideways, with CRCL down 8.79% and TSLA down 7.36%, while NVIDIA edged higher after expanding its buyback authorization to $235 billion. Commodities were broadly weak, with spot gold down about 6% for September. Next week's focus is the final U.S. S&P Global Services PMI for September, due October 5.
