Odaily Planet Daily reports that U.S. inflation in November was far below economists' forecasts, while the unemployment rate unexpectedly rose. Investors have been reluctant to interpret these figures too closely due to the distorted and incomplete information caused by the 43-day federal government shutdown. Michael Lorizio, head of U.S. interest rates and mortgage trading at Manulife Investment Management, stated, "Even taking that into account, this highlights that there is very limited room for current inflation data to rise significantly beyond expectations. If the labor market continues on its current trajectory, with the unemployment rate rising by 0.1 percentage point per month, I think the scope for further interest rate cuts next year may be somewhat underestimated."

According to Odaily Planet Daily, the Shenyang Public Security Bureau in Liaoning Province recently cracked the "Tong Moumou et al. illegal business operation case." In April 2024, a tip-off from the U.S. alleging that a Chinese national named Tong Moumou was suspected of money laundering for drug traffickers drew serious attention from Chinese police. To ascertain the truth, the Ministry of Public Security immediately deployed the Liaoning Provincial Public Security Department to conduct verification work. On May 20, 2024, Shenyang police apprehended Tong Moumou and Chen Moumou in Wuhan, Hubei Province, as they attempted to flee the country.

The case involved more than 2,000 individuals, hundreds of companies, 49,000 accounts, and 10.56 million transaction records. Through the continuous efforts of the police, the criminal facts of Tong Moumou, Chen Moumou, and others illegally buying and selling foreign exchange were finally fully investigated and clarified.

An investigation revealed that since 2017, Tong and others had been operating a car dealership in the United States, selling cars and providing RMB and USD exchange services to customers. Later, they turned to engaging in illegal foreign exchange trading and other criminal activities.

While operating a car dealership in the United States, Tong met JC, a Mexican businessman. JC learned that Tong needed US dollars for currency exchange and offered to buy cryptocurrency from him in US dollars. Tong then instructed Chen to purchase Bitcoin, Tether, and other cryptocurrencies through various channels and sell them to JC in exchange for US dollars.

However, according to Tong's confession, exchanging currency for JC only accounted for a portion of his business. During his time in the US, Tong primarily provided currency exchange services to international students and businesspeople with large-scale currency exchange needs, as well as some local gamblers.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju posted on the X platform that Tom Lee is typically a staunch bull, with a long-to-short ratio of approximately 10:0. When a market correction seems inevitable, he briefly acknowledges the possibility of a decline and adjusts the risk-to-risk ratio to approximately 9:1. This may be due to his position in sell-side research, which forces him into this somewhat bitter situation. This statement may explain why Tom Lee's personal market views differ from his fund's.

Previously, Tom Lee's Fundstrat, in its 2026 cryptocurrency strategy advice to internal clients, stated that cryptocurrencies would experience a significant correction in the first half of the year, with a target price of $60,000 to $65,000 for BTC, $1,800 to $2,000 for ETH, and $50 to $75 for SOL. However, Tom Lee himself has consistently claimed publicly that Bitcoin and Ethereum will reach new highs in January 2026.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Bitcoin failed to hold the key $92,000 price level over the past month and is currently hovering below $90,000. Some traders believe the recent price decline is due to market manipulation, while others attribute it to increased market concerns about the artificial intelligence industry. However, analysts believe a significant factor limiting Bitcoin's price increases is the Federal Reserve's plan to shrink its balance sheet for most of 2025. This move has drained liquidity from financial markets. Although there are clear signs that the Fed is shifting towards a more accommodative monetary policy, traders are uncertain whether the Fed can lower interest rates below 3.5% in 2026. With investor risk aversion rising, Bitcoin is unlikely to serve as a hedge in the short term. (Bloomingbit)

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Trump stated at a press conference on December 19th that Trump Gold Card sales had reached $1.3 billion, claiming "sales are booming." Polymarket has determined that Trump's claimed sales figures for Trump Gold Card are "faked," but Polymarket still predicts an 88% probability that "Trump Gold Card sales this year will be zero."

The reason is that Polymarket added a note to the forecast stating that only data explicitly referring to final approvals and backed by completed payments counts. Trump's December 19 statement regarding gold card sales, and Howard Lutnick's claim that "$1.3 billion worth of cards have been sold in just a few days," do not themselves meet the standard of "final approvals and backed by completed payments."

The Trump Gold Card is an investment immigration program launched by the Trump administration that allows wealthy foreigners to obtain U.S. residency by paying a hefty fee (currently $1 million plus a $15,000 processing fee).
