Schwab Strategic Trust Schwab Crypto Thematic ETF

A widely expected increase in the October Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index — commonly regarded as the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge — triggered fresh losses for the U.S. dollar, while Treasury yields and U.S. stocks <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/42216384/feds-favorite-inflation-gauge-heats-up-as-predicted-personal-incomes-soar-december-interest-rate-cut-in-doubt">also slid in tandem.</a>
By 11:10 a.m. ET in New York, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), tracked by the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>), was down 0.8%, reflecting broad weakness in the greenback. Meanwhile, 10-year Treasury yields fell by five basis points to 4.26%, and the S&amp;P 500, replicated by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), dropped 0.4%.
Tech stocks were hit harder, with the Nasdaq 100 — tracked by the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) — plunging 1.3%.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">October PCE Inflation Matches Expectations</h1>
The headline PCE price index rose by 2.3% year-over-year in October, up from 2.1% in September, in line with forecasts. Core PCE inflation, which strips out volatile energy and food prices, also ticked higher, climbing from 2.7% to 2.8% annually, meeting economist predictions.
In a positive twist, personal spending and income data slightly beat expectations. Meanwhile, the second estimate for third-quarter U.S. GDP growth remained unchanged at a solid 2.8% annualized rate.
Joseph Brusuelas, economist at RSM US, highlighted the strength of household finances ahead of the critical holiday shopping season. &#8220;Strong personal spending and a 0.6% increase in personal income underscores just how robust the economy and households remain as we approach Black Friday and year-end 2024,&#8221; Brusuelas said.
Despite inflationary signals, Brusuelas maintains that the Federal Reserve is likely to lower interest rates by 25 basis points during its Dec. 18 meeting. Market-implied probabilities echoed this sentiment, with a 70% chance of a rate cut priced into futures markets.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Yen Surges On Bank of Japan Rate-Hike Bets</h1>
Yet, while U.S. economic data took center stage, Wednesday's market action appeared more influenced by carry-trade unwinding and growing speculation around a potential Bank of Japan (BOJ) interest rate hike in December.
The Japanese yen jumped 1.2% against the dollar, extending its winning streak to three consecutive sessions. 
Such a strong daily move by the yen certainly strides with statistics revealing an October U.S. inflation uptick. 
&#8220;Investors are betting on an interest-rate hike from the Bank of Japan next month,&#8221; noted BBVA forex strategist Alejandro Cuadrado in a client note on Tuesday.
The interest rate futures curve now implies a 65% probability of a BOJ rate hike in December, compared to just 30% at the start of November.
The yen's Wednesday outperformance has revived memories of the carry-trade turmoil from early August, when a sudden shift in yen-dollar dynamics sent shockwaves across global markets. 
Since that episode, the yen had depreciated by over 5% against the dollar, weighed down further by the victory of Donald Trump in the 2024 U.S. presidential elections.

The couple, who purchased their latest Santa Barbara County beach property for $70 million before selling it at a profit, joins a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/11/41982378/trumps-win-has-celebrities-saying-goodbye-america-see-where-theyre-going">growing exodus of entertainment industry figures exploring international real estate</a> following the presidential election. Their departure reflects broader trends of wealthy Americans seeking properties abroad, particularly in European markets.
However, the Cotswolds&#8217; unique real estate landscape poses distinct challenges to DeGeneres&#8217; established flipping strategy, according to Harry Gladwin, head of the Cotswolds at the Buying Solution, who spoke with Mansion Global. &#8220;Whilst some savvy purchasers have been buying smaller cottages in good villages around honeypot locations such as Kingham and Burford and doing them up, the cost of renovation now means that owners will be unlikely to make huge returns,&#8221; Gladwin said.

The region&#8217;s high-end market operates differently from Southern California&#8217;s luxury sector. Sebastian Hipwood, cofounder of Blue Book Agency, told Mansion Global that properties valued around £20 million (US$25.2 million) rarely change hands, with &#8220;a handful of houses a year&#8221; becoming available at that price point.
Historic property restrictions present additional hurdles. Listed properties require permissions for renovations, with approval processes stretching three to six months or longer. Even minor changes to windows and flooring demand regulatory oversight, extending project timelines.
According to Gemma Maclaran, residential property advisor at Middleton Advisors, construction costs have also soared. &#8220;A good-quality renovation would now cost about £400 per square foot, when before you could&#8217;ve done it for £200. On the higher end, that can go up to £1,000 per square foot,&#8221; she said.

Recent tax changes further complicate matters for international buyers, who now face up to 17% in purchase taxes. Last month&#8217;s stamp duty increase added another 2% for second homes, potentially squeezing profit margins for property investors.
The couple&#8217;s relocation reflects a broader trend of high-profile Americans <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/why-you-should-invest-in-foreign-real-estate">exploring international markets</a>. Immigration attorneys report increased inquiries about overseas relocation options, with celebrities like Sharon Stone and Whoopi Goldberg publicly discussing similar moves. Actress Minnie Driver recently announced plans to return to the U.K. after nearly three decades in California.
DeGeneres and de Rossi still maintain several California properties, including their primary Montecito residence, though reports cited by Mansion Global indicate plans to list it soon. Their transition to the Cotswolds suggests a shift from quick-turn property investments to the region&#8217;s more traditional approach of long-term estate ownership.
