Attorney Deaton Highlights Excerpt of Judge Torres' Ruling That Could Affect Ripple's Lawsuit Against SEC

Attorney John E. Deaton has drawn attention to a section of Judge Analisa Torres' latest ruling that could harm Ripple's chances of winning its lawsuit against the SEC. XRP supporters are celebrating Judge Torres' decision to deny the SEC's motion to seal the draft of William Hinman's 2018 speech, and XRP Productions has created a Twitter space to discuss the ruling. However, Deaton has expressed concern that a portion of the ruling could negatively impact Ripple's case, specifically related to financial data and the Howey analysis. The court is making progress towards issuing a summary judgment for the lawsuit, with Ripple expecting it to come before the end of the year.

  • Citigroup reviews historical patterns before and after the first rate cut in a cycle: US stocks and bonds both rise, gold strengthens first and then flattens

     according to Citigroup research, historical data shows that both US stocks and bonds have positive returns around the first interest rate cut. The median increase in stocks in the 50 days after the rate cut is around 5%, but there is downside risk in a hard landing scenario. Bonds also benefit from expectations and actual rate cuts, with yields typically reaching a low point around the first rate cut. The performance of the US dollar index shows a "weak first, then flat" pattern, usually weakening before a rate cut, but entering a range-bound pattern after the cut. Precious metals like gold also rise before the implementation of loose policies, but tend to perform flat after an actual rate cut, showing more of a range trading pattern. Citigroup analysts stated that these historical patterns were largely confirmed in 2024, but bond prices peaked around the first rate cut. At that time, the market priced in the rate cut aggressively, while the current cycle has a relatively mild pricing, easing concerns about the outlook for bonds.
