Early October reports highlighted concerns regarding macroeconomic risks, including persistent inflation, rising US bond yields, and increasing Brent crude oil prices, which reached $106 per barrel. Investors were specifically monitoring the impact of a slowing labor market and Federal Reserve policies on the attractiveness of risky assets like Bitcoin. By mid-October, the focus shifted toward the sustainability of current bull market trends. While major indices like the DAX and S&P 500 have seen significant growth since late 2022, analysts warned of risks such as high valuations, debt, and potential crises in energy or inflation.
