Bitget UEX Daily | S&P 500 and Nasdaq Set Closing Records; Constellation Energy Rises 12.25%; BTC Trades Near 84,100 USDT

I. Hot News Highlights

Federal Reserve Dynamics

Hike expectations ease ahead of September meeting minutes

Reuters reported that CME FedWatch put the probability of another October hike at approximately 19.4%, versus 50.9% a week earlier. The next Fed meeting is October 27–28; September minutes are scheduled for October 8 at 02:00 Beijing time. These probabilities reflect market pricing, not a Fed commitment.www.lse.co.uk

Market Impact: Lower hike expectations can ease valuation pressure, but energy and business input costs remain constraints. Watch officials’ assessment of the energy shock and the evidence needed for further action. A pause would not necessarily signal a shift toward cuts.

International Commodities

EIA raises its fourth-quarter Brent forecast to $105

The October 6 EIA outlook projects fourth-quarter Brent spot prices averaging $105 a barrel, $14 above its previous forecast. Annual forecasts are $96 for 2026 and $84 for 2027. Model inputs were finalized on October 1, excluding additional G7 reserve-release arrangements announced on October 2.www.eia.gov

Market Impact: Recovering exports and reserve releases can relieve near-term shortages, while diesel tightness and inventory drawdowns may support prices. Stable daily oil prices do not establish that medium-term inflation pressure has disappeared.

Macroeconomic Developments

August US trade deficit widens to $105.6 billion

BEA and the Census Bureau reported a $105.6 billion goods-and-services deficit, versus a revised $92.8 billion in July. Imports increased 4.3% to $420.8 billion; exports rose 1.4% to $315.2 billion. Capital-goods imports increased $6.2 billion, including a $2.4 billion rise in semiconductors.bea.gov

Market Impact: Capital-goods purchases indicate investment demand, while higher imports can weigh on the net-export contribution to GDP. A wider deficit does not automatically mean weaker domestic demand.

II. Market Review

Commodities and Forex

Precious metals and DXY are morning reference quotes; oil figures are settlements, not synchronized prices.www.investing.com

Driver Analysis: Oil settlements were essentially flat as improving flows competed with renewed disruption risks. Gold remained near $4,160, with dollar and rate expectations influencing demand.

Cryptocurrency Performance

• BTC: Approximately 84,103.71 USDT, down 1.70% over 24 hours.
• ETH: Approximately 2,618.70 USDT, down 3.06% over 24 hours.
• Total crypto market capitalization: Approximately $2.86 trillion, down approximately 4.83%, last updated at 10:25 Beijing time.

BTC and ETH quotes use Bitget’s public spot endpoint, updated at 11:09 Beijing time on October 7. Changes are measured over a rolling 24-hour period. All distances and unrealized-gain estimates below have been recalculated using these prices. Liquidation levels retain the original map snapshot; the ETF cost basis retains the earlier reference estimate. Market capitalization uses CoinGecko Global. Global trading volume is omitted because the endpoint returned an anomalous value.

BTC | Liquidation Zones

The original map’s main short-liquidation zone is at $87,679, approximately 4.25% above the latest price. Its main long-liquidation zone is at $82,578, approximately 1.81% below. The lower zone is now closer, shifting near-term attention toward long-liquidation risk around $82.5K–$82.6K. A rebound toward $87.5K–$88K would bring concentrated short-liquidation risk back into focus.

ETH | Liquidation Zones

The original main short-liquidation zone at $2,788 is approximately 6.47% above the latest price. ETH is now approximately 0.62% below the original main long-liquidation zone at $2,635. It is trading below the original reference zone; whether concentrated liquidations occurred requires an updated map or actual liquidation data.

Institutional Cost Basis | BTC

The reference aggregate cost basis for US spot BTC ETFs is approximately $81,722. BTC’s latest price is about 2.91% above this estimate, indicating aggregate unrealized gains under that reference.

Strategy holds 848,000 BTC at an average purchase cost of approximately $75,441. BTC is about 11.48% above that cost basis, leaving $75K–$76K as an important corporate acquisition-cost reference range.assets.contentstack.io

Market Takeaway

BTC is now closer to the long-liquidation zone near $82.6K, with estimated ETF unrealized gains narrowing to approximately 2.9%. ETH has fallen below the original $2,635 reference zone. Near-term attention shifts toward downside leverage risk; an updated map is needed to confirm whether the original liquidation zones remain relevant.

US Equity Indices

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq set closing records, with the Nasdaq recording its second consecutive record close. The Russell 2000 fell approximately 0.6%, highlighting weaker small-cap participation.apnews.com

Magnificent Seven

Figures use the October 6 regular-session close; Alphabet is represented by Class A shares, GOOGL.stockanalysis.com

Performance Summary: Six advanced and one declined. Amazon led, while Meta was the only loser. Large-cap technology provided support, but Nvidia’s modest gain shows that AI-related stocks did not rise uniformly.

Sector Movers

Power and Nuclear: Constellation Energy rose 12.25% to $300.40. Google’s nuclear expansion and long-term supply agreements were the principal catalysts; new capacity must be distinguished from existing-generation commitments.stockanalysis.com

Healthcare M&A: Option Care Health rose 32.65% to $31.00, approaching the $32.05 acquisition offer. The move primarily reflects deal pricing, not necessarily stronger healthcare-sector demand.stockanalysis.com

AI Chips: Marvell gained approximately 5.8% and AMD 2.8%. Investors focused on Marvell’s higher 2028 revenue forecast and AMD’s planned 2027 supply expansion. Both remain dependent on execution.www.lse.co.uk

III. In-Depth US Equity Analysis

1. Constellation Energy — Google agreement supports 890 MW of new nuclear capacity

Event Overview: A 20-year agreement announced October 6 supports 890 MW of additional capacity through upgrades to 11 existing nuclear units, with initial delivery expected in 2028. Constellation plans more than $4.3 billion in investment—not disclosed contract revenue. A separate 15-year arrangement covers 2,700 MW of existing generation, not new capacity.www.googlecloudpresscorner.com

Market Interpretation: Upgrading existing units may reduce some implementation challenges compared with new construction. Demand visibility improves, but construction spending precedes incremental generation income.

Investment Implications: Watch approvals, costs and the 2028 delivery milestone. Following the rally, execution and project returns matter more than headline contract size.

2. Option Care Health — Remaining offer spread reflects time and deal risk

Event Overview: CD&R and McKesson agreed to acquire Option Care for $32.05 per share, implying approximately $5.8 billion in enterprise value, including debt. Completion is expected in the first half of 2027, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals.www.kirkland.com

Market Interpretation: The offer stands approximately 3.39% above the $31.00 close. This is not a risk-free return: the spread reflects waiting time, transaction conditions and possible failure. Enterprise value is not the amount paid entirely to shareholders.

Investment Implications: Watch approvals, deal conditions and timing changes. Completion increasingly becomes the stock’s principal catalyst.

3. Constellation Brands — Sales grow, but comparable earnings guidance is unchanged

Event Overview: STZ rose 2.08% to $115.67 before releasing fiscal 2027 second-quarter results after the October 6 close. For the quarter ended August 31, net sales rose 6% to $2.633 billion; GAAP EPS was $3.32 and comparable EPS was $3.74, up 3%. The regular-session gain preceded the results.ir.cbrands.com

Market Interpretation: Full-year GAAP EPS guidance increased to $11.85–$12.55, while comparable guidance remained $11.20–$11.90. Beer shipments rose 5.5%, but depletions fell 0.6%; stronger shipments do not establish equivalent growth in end demand.ir.cbrands.com

Investment Implications: Watch the earnings call for explanations of channel inventory, consumer demand and marketing costs. This beverage producer is distinct from Constellation Energy.

IV. Market and Project Updates

1. OKX completes an extended strategic funding round: Circle, QRT, Ripple and SC Ventures participated at a $25 billion pre-money valuation. That figure is a valuation, not the amount raised.www.okx.com

3. SAP expands embedded payments: Tereina-powered SAP Pay integrates payment execution and reconciliation into SAP Cloud ERP. Reuters reported support for traditional currencies and stablecoins. Adoption would indicate enterprise payment usage, not necessarily additional BTC or ETH buying.news.sap.com

4. Bullish reports September activity: Total trading volume was $48.6 billion, including $42.2 billion in spot trading. The monthly figures are preliminary and unaudited, representing one platform rather than global daily volume or institutional net purchases.www.stocktitan.net

5. Lambda considers funding and an IPO: Reuters, citing The Wall Street Journal, reported that the Nvidia-backed cloud company seeks up to $4 billion at a $14.5 billion pre-money valuation and is considering a 2027 listing. These are reported plans, not completed financing or an approved IPO.www.investing.com

V. Today’s Market Calendar

All times are Beijing time, UTC+8. Attention ratings are editorial assessments.

Times follow company and release calendars.ir.cbrands.com

Key Event Preview

Fed Minutes: Watch conditions for further hikes, energy-price transmission and the employment assessment. The minutes describe September discussions, not an immediate assessment of October’s latest data.

Energy Inventories: Examine distillates and refinery operations alongside crude stocks. Rising crude inventories do not necessarily mean refined-product shortages have eased.

Institutional View

Ingalls & Snyder senior portfolio strategist Tim Ghriskey expects no action at the next Fed meeting but still sees a gradual hiking cycle. His view distinguishes a temporary pause from the end of tightening.www.lse.co.uk
