Next week, the U.S. October CPI, PPI, and speeches from several Federal Reserve officials will become the market focus. Previously, the U.S. added 165,000 non-farm jobs in October, and the unemployment rate fell to 4.1%, raising expectations for interest rate hikes. LSEG data shows that the implied probability of a Federal Reserve rate hike in December has risen to about 80%, with the market expecting that this cycle may see two more rate hikes, each by 25 basis points.In terms of inflation data, the U.S. October CPI will be released at 21:30 Beijing time on November 10, and the PPI will be released at 21:30 on November 13. ING expects that the overall CPI and core CPI will both rise by 0.3% month-on-month, which is sufficient to support a high probability of a rate hike in December. Monex's macro research director Nick Rees believes that unless the October CPI is significantly lower than expected, or the November employment report released on December 4 shows a clear weakness, the market is expected to have almost fully priced in the 25 basis point rate hike by the time of next month's meeting. Officials such as Waller, Bowman, Barr, and Jefferson will speak or participate in discussions during the week.According to Eastern Time, CoreWeave will release its third-quarter results after the market closes on November 10, Nebius will release its third-quarter results before the market opens on November 12, and Cisco will release its first-quarter results for fiscal year 2027 after the market closes on November 12.

According to Fields' concept, an attacker stealing 1 BTC needs to provide an additional 1 BTC from a quantum-safe wallet as collateral, and both funds will be locked for a waiting period, such as 30 days.Before quantum attacks become a reality, the original owner can create a quantum-safe "mine" that contains hidden proof of ownership. If the thief later attempts to transfer the vulnerable coins, the stolen BTC and the thief's collateral will be locked. The owner can disclose the proof during the waiting period to reclaim their BTC and receive the thief's collateral as a penalty. The thief cannot determine which addresses have traps before investing funds.
