Executives at large financial banks on Wall Street are reportedly finalising plans to give traders and dealmakers the biggest bonus increases since the pandemic, with several desks set to receive 10 per cent or more. This is according to a Bloomberg report quoting sources.&nbsp;
Bloomberg sources said 10 per cent is the typical raise in store for investment bankers and traders who deal with equities and fixed-income products. Traders' incentives will increase by over 10 per cent at Morgan Stanley and its bigger competitor, JPMorgan Chase.&nbsp;
Bonuses for investment bankers at JPMorgan will also increase by about 15 per cent. The consensus among c-suite executives is that Goldman Sachs group will pay a lot more than those figures. These increases come after two years of industry-wide constraint caused by the pandemic.&nbsp;
<h2>Bonus turnaround</h2>
During the last two years, investment banks battled to keep up with the bustle of trading and dealmaking. Mild raises weren't enough to cover inflation on most desks a year ago.&nbsp;
There has been a turnaround, and managers are optimistic about the coming year. As a result, they are preparing increases in bonuses to reflect that sentiment. Wall street's year-end rewards are notoriously volatile as the industry cycles through booms and busts.&nbsp;
When times are good, individual windfalls can stretch into millions of dollars &mdash; multiples of what bankers and traders might reap from salaries. Compensation experts have been predicting for months that investment bankers, traders, and asset and wealth managers will receive rises in the double digits this round.&nbsp;
Some lines of business within larger divisions potentially predict increases reaching 20 per cent. A November report by Johnson associates forecasts that equity underwriters may get as much as 25 per cent more, with debt underwriters reaching as much as 35 per cent.&nbsp;

As wall street braced for next week's federal reserve meeting, the leaders of the year — large technology companies — held onto their gains as u.S. Treasuries sank.

Wall Street Readies for Next Week's Federal Reserve Meeting

The 'Trump Trade' is still at play in global markets despite some jitters last week. Wall Street stocks rose last week as bitcoin proved naysayers wrong, and the dollar extended its advances into the eighth straight week, the longest in 2024.

As the major tech winners of the year faltered, blue chips and small caps pushed Wall Street higher on Friday. The S&amp;P 500 ended in the green. An equal-weighted version of the S&amp;P 500 index, which accounts for companies like Walgreens Boots Alliance and Nvidia, jumped, putting it on pace for a record-breaking closing high.

The Dow Jones index gained one per cent, and the Russell's 2000 index rose nearly two per cent. An index of bank stocks reached its highest level in almost two years. Although major tech companies lagged, the small-cap index rose 4.5 per cent last week. Analysts predict the rally to continue into the year-end.

FundStrat's managing partner, Thomas Lee, said, "When sentiment reaches a 'bullish extreme' is when we see equities priced to 'perfection'." He added, "By several measures, we are not there at that point yet."

The dollar registered its longest streak of weekly wins since September 2023. Peter Mclean, Head of Multi-Asset Portfolio Solutions at Stonehage Fleming, said, "The US dollar's run can continue." Mclean added, "We also have those geopolitical tensions, which are escalating at the moment. It's natural for investors to seek refuge in the dollar."

In the commodities market, bouts of volatility, driven by escalations in the war in Ukraine, eased on Friday. The ongoing conflict helped to push crude closer to 75 dollars a barrel from about $71 on Monday last week.

Gold, too, rose to trade at over $2,700 an ounce, marking its best week since March 2023. The yellow metal rose from a low of below $2,580 an ounce at the start of last week.

Crypto speculators have driven Bitcoin towards $100,000. The OG token has rallied since Trump's victory to new record highs repeatedly, barring a dip last weekend. SEC Chair Gary Gensler's decision to step down in January was the latest development, which boosted the digital assets market. Enforcement actions against cryptos were rampant during his administration, but they are expected to ease under Trump.

Pro-Crypto President-Elect Trump has sparked a chart-bursting rally. Bitcoin entered the weekend just shy of the landmark $100,000 level, Disappointing fans' expectations that the largest token would break beyond that psychological and financially crucial threshold. The OG token prices dipped just below $99,000 dollars on Sunday morning.

On Friday, the token was just $300 shy of the $100,000 mark. The cryptocurrency market has exploded, adding about $1 trillion to its value.

Dollar notches an eight-week winning streak, longest of the year

During Donald Trump's first term in office, Wall Street learnt one thing: he uses the stock market as a scoreboard. Back then, Trump even contemplated removing Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell, whom he held responsible for a deep selloff on Wall Street. At one point previously, the president-elect claimed credit for stock market gains.

Trump is now preparing for a second term as president, and the stock market is in the front and centre again. The catch is that he's also bringing economic policy ideas that many experts believe might lead to slower growth and higher inflation.

Investors have enjoyed the S&amp;P 500 index's more than 50 per cent increase since the beginning of 2023. Their best hope for maintaining market momentum into 2025 and beyond would be Trump's reluctance to do anything that could halt the rally.

Eric Sterner, chief investment officer at Apollon Wealth Management, said, "Trump considers the stock market performance as an important part of his scorecard." the CIO said, "he regularly started his speeches as president in his first term with the question, ‘how’s your 401k doing?’ when the markets were riding high."

Sterner added, "So he clearly does not want to create any policies that threaten the current bull market.”

The S&amp;P 500 index had its greatest trading session after election day ever following Trump's victory on November 5. US equity funds received a whopping 56 billion dollars in the week ending November 13, the highest since March. Despite a little decline last week, the Dow Jones, the technology-heavy NASDAQ, and the S&amp;P 500 have all reached several milestones since election results day. The investment community has extensively discussed every one of Trump's policy risks.&nbsp;

So, where does all this excitement come from?

Wall Street expects that if Trump's own policies lead to a falling stock market, he will revoke them.

Emily Leveille, portfolio manager at Thornburg Investment Management, said, "If some of these (Trump) policies start to impact his popularity, start to impact the stock market in a way that he perceives as being negative, I think that he’ll pivot.”

Or, as Barclays strategists wrote in a note to clients, "We think the president-elect should be taken seriously, but not literally."

Trump's another stint at the White House brings hope for Wall Street

This particular year of 2024, was already a historical year for exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Still, as of November 15, the ETF universe can add another crucial feather to its cap and that is the biggest annual inflows on record, according to a detailed report by Bloomberg.

US ETF's net inflows past $913 billion

The never-ending desire for an investor-friendly environment, an all-time high number of product launches, and a historic bull market fueled by Donald Trump’s presidential victory have all cumulatively helped push the total net inflows into US ETFs past $913 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg Intelligence. That beats 2021’s record registered in that year with still the December 2024 month to go, the Bloomberg report added.

More signs of stock market optimism can be seen as the total US ETF assets touched the $10 trillion mark for the first time in the month of&nbsp;September 2024. Further, more than 600 new products have been introduced since the start of the year and nearly all ETFs in the US have registered positive 12-month returns, up from 8 per cent just two years ago, according to Bloomberg Intelligence (BI) data.&nbsp;

These achievements are evidence of the appeal of easy-to-trade and low-cost vehicles to traders of all levels. Investors are leaving more staid mutual funds in favour of ETFs to make the most of their more liquid, tax-friendly structures.

“In a year where stocks, bonds and commodities are all up, ETFs have record inflows while mutual funds are in net outflows,” said Matt Bartolini, head of Americas ETF Research at State Street Global Advisors. “Some investors are fine-tuning their asset allocations with low-cost building blocks while others are making more tactical portfolio changes, evidenced by the sizeable post-election flows" the Bloomberg report explained further.&nbsp;

Escalation of ETF inflows was more pronounced in the second half of 2024

The escalation of inflows was more pronounced in the second half of the year when Trump’s decisive White House win unleashed investor euphoria. ETFs took in a record $53 billion in the three days after the election, outpacing the $16 billion of inflows that followed President Joe Biden’s victory four years ago, BI compiled data show. This might have happened as markets like clarity and dislike uncertainty.

“It seems that more people than not believe that what Trump will do for the economy is better than what the Democrats would have done,” Joe Ferrara, investment strategist at Gateway Investment Advisers, said in an interview. “That’s where the exuberance comes from.”

The rush into ETFs started well before Trump’s win though, with issuers offering up ever-more complex strategies in the wrapper. This year, actively managed funds and those that use derivatives or leverage to juice returns accounted for over 80 per cent&nbsp;of the new launches as issuers seek to capture market share in a highly saturated space. Adding to the frenzy of new products were the first cryptocurrency ETFs holding Bitcoin directly, which saw record-breaking demand, added the Bloomberg report further.

“Everybody and anybody is now in the ETF space,” said Eric Balchunas, senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence. And while the main appeal of ETFs is rock-bottom fees and liquidity, he said it’s the new breed of products that have changed the industry.

Further, for now, active funds comprise nearly half of the 3,800 ETFs. Now they only make up roughly 10 per cent of the assets, projections by BI show that their share and count will increase beyond passive or indexed ETFs. “ETFs continue to be the preferred vehicle providing investors a way to express views in nearly every asset class,” said Jillian DelSignore, global head of investor distribution strategy at Nasdaq Global Index Group. “ETFs have democratized access to markets.”

Market participants and global investors will closely follow these developments on Wall Street and then make informed investment decisions based on the same.

Wall Street sets new records with nearly $1 trillion ETF surge this year

Wall Street is clearly betting on new highs and riches ahead in markets all-in on Donald Trump. This comes in light of Trump's return to the white house and the subsequent surge in asset prices.

But a new and different worry has emerged: investors aren't bullish enough. That sentiment is driving the latest purchasing frenzy in stocks and crypto. An additional $20 billion was poured into market funds on Wednesday alone on Trump's win.

This contributed to a total of roughly $2 trillion added to stocks during the last five sessions. Banks also soared, small-cap businesses increased by over 9 per cent, and bitcoin reached a new record high.

Trump's pro-growth promises of tax cuts and deregulation are fueling this surge. This comes just as the Federal Reserve tilts toward an easy-money stance. However, concerns about the high price tag of such fiscal stimulus remain.

Wall Street is now falling over itself to predict how far the everything-boom goes. Futures markets are betting that the rally in Bitcoin is just a start under a pro-crypto administration.

The industry's staunchest bulls and renowned strategist, Ed Yardeni, is concerned that he has been overly pessimistic in predictions of a "roaring 2020s" that is yet to come. The founder and president of Yardeni Research said, “I keep getting stampeded by the stock market.” he added, “I think we're in a bull market that'll last through the end of the decade."

The exuberance has flooded all corners of Wall Street and global markets. With a 4.7 per cent weekly increase, the S&amp;P 500 reached its 50th record for the year. The benchmark index also briefly topped 6,000 points on Friday for the first time ever. The "fear gauge," or volatility index, saw its worst weekly decline since 2021.

While it's true that momentum breeds momentum, the rally risks blinding investors to lingering economic &amp; high debt concerns. Amy Wu Silverman, head of derivatives strategy at RBC capital markets, said, "We may be getting ahead of our skis longer-term. very short-term, yes, it is definitely a risk-on event." RBC's strategy head added, "That said, I think I just think the tails get 'fatter' in a trump presidency."

The risks are in plain view. More trade tariffs lead to distortions in already-disrupted supply chains, higher inflation &amp; budget deficits. Another top risk is that the FED veers away from policy easing.

However, the fed's latest meeting did nothing to tamp back the positive sentiment in risk markets. For now, the narrative is bullish. A proxy of so-called risk-on metrics saw its biggest weekly inflow since 2016. that is, incidentally, the year Trump scored his first presidential victory.

Wall Street is clearly betting on new highs and riches ahead in markets all-in on Donald Trump. This comes in light of Trump's return to the white house and the subsequent surge in asset prices. But a new and different worry has emerged: investors aren't bullish enough. That sentiment is driving the latest purchasing frenzy in stocks and crypto. An additional $20 billion was poured into market funds on Wednesday alone on Trump's win. This contributed to a total of roughly $2 trillion added to stocks during the last five sessions. Banks also soared, small-cap businesses increased by over 9 per cent, and bitcoin reached a new record high. Trump's pro-growth promises of tax cuts and deregulation are fueling this surge. This comes just as the Federal Reserve tilts toward an easy-money stance. However, concerns about the high price tag of such fiscal stimulus remain. Wall Street is now falling over itself to predict how far the everything-boom goes. Futures markets are betting that the rally in Bitcoin is just a start under a pro-crypto administration. The industry's staunchest bulls and renowned strategist, Ed Yardeni, is concerned that he has been overly pessimistic in predictions of a "roaring 2020s" that is yet to come. The founder and president of Yardeni Research said, “I keep getting stampeded by the stock market.” he added, “I think we're in a bull market that'll last through the end of the decade." The exuberance has flooded all corners of Wall Street and global markets. With a 4.7 per cent weekly increase, the S&P 500 reached its 50th record for the year. The benchmark index also briefly topped 6,000 points on Friday for the first time ever. The "fear gauge," or volatility index, saw its worst weekly decline since 2021. While it's true that momentum breeds momentum, the rally risks blinding investors to lingering economic & high debt concerns. Amy Wu Silverman, head of derivatives strategy at RBC capital markets, said, "We may be getting ahead of our skis longer-term. very short-term, yes, it is definitely a risk-on event." RBC's strategy head added, "That said, I think I just think the tails get 'fatter' in a trump presidency." The risks are in plain view. More trade tariffs lead to distortions in already-disrupted supply chains, higher inflation & budget deficits. Another top risk is that the FED veers away from policy easing. However, the fed's latest meeting did nothing to tamp back the positive sentiment in risk markets. For now, the narrative is bullish. A proxy of so-called risk-on metrics saw its biggest weekly inflow since 2016. that is, incidentally, the year Trump scored his first presidential victory.

Wall Street Stocks Advance For A Fourth Consecutive Session

US Elections 2024: Wall Street Benchmarks Hit New Records, With Over 2% Gains

What do you give a wealthy client who has everything? Well, Wall Street has come up with a brilliant idea. A Bloomberg report shows the solution is a loss-making investment.

That's the idea behind the latest strategy on Wall Street. This is a clever twist on the well-known tax-loss harvesting technique, a contentious aspect of wealth management for many years.

The practice of selling losing investments to reduce the tax owed on profits made elsewhere in a portfolio is known as tax-loss harvesting.

Although it's a useful instrument frequently used in equities ownership, it has a significant drawback. An investor doesn't always have a loss-making investment. This can be particularly true in the US stock market, which has tripled in the last decade and continues to set new milestones.

Anyone concerned about growing wealth disparity will likely be alarmed by this slick Wall Street move. Most investors cannot afford tax long-short methods. Like with other tax-loss harvesting tactics, the wealthiest often reap the rewards from such tricks.

Americans do not pay capital gains taxes until they decide to sell an asset. That rule has withstood several challenges in recent months. President Joe Biden has suggested taxing the unrealised earnings of the ultra-wealthy.

While Kamala Harris has previously supported Biden's concept, she has not stated whether she will pursue such legislation.

Tax loss harvesting: Money managers' clever new trick to cut taxes for rich clients

A rally in Wall Street stocks faded on Friday, ending a six-week rise in the S&amp;P 500 index. Still, the main takeaway after a week in which bond yields surged to the highest since July, inflation worries resurfaced, and US presidential politics simmered, none of it really bothered risk-asset bulls.

A six-week rally in the S&amp;P 500 that had been the longest since December came to an official end. The index was dragged down by banking stocks despite a surge in tech shares.

A selloff in treasuries sent US 10-year rates to their highest level since July, igniting alarm on Wall Street. Another indication that months of almost record calm are coming to an end is the rise in volatility indices.

And yet, there was little evidence of panic. The Nasdaq 100 closed within 2 per cent of its record peak ahead of a historic week of tech results. A gauge of the "magnificent seven" US megacaps notched its best back-to-back jump since February.&nbsp;

Crypto shares sank after the Wall Street Journal reported that the US is looking into tether for potential anti-money-laundering regulation breaches. Perhaps none of the legal actions taken by US authorities against crypto firms in the last year pose as big of a danger...

To the digital asset market as a possible crackdown on tether holdings. Tether is the issuer of USDT, a token with a market valuation of over $12 billion. The coin is intended to serve as a digital alternative to the US dollar.

It is the most traded token on a daily basis and the third-largest crypto in terms of market value.

Wall Street Stocks Hit Fresh Record Highs

The fray to roll out an exchange-traded fund tracking XRP, the seventh-largest digital token, has begun.

Application to launch Canary XRP ETF was filed by the newly founded digital asset-focused investment firm Canary Capital Group with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday. The firm, founded in September, filed applications just one week after Bitwise Asset Management Inc. was recorded as the first firm to file for an ETF tracking the token.

Canary, founded by former Valkyrie Funds co-founder Steven McClurg, said in a statement that it was encouraged by “signs of a more progressive regulatory environment coupled with growing demand from investors.”

These filings follow highly anticipated launches of ETFs that hold Bitcoin and Ether earlier this year, and as companies including VanEck Asset Management and 21Shares AG try to introduce funds linked to the Solana token. Bitcoin ETFs have gained nearly $19 billion since their launch, while Ether ETFs have experienced around $550 million of outflows.

Canary's filing did not include a ticker or estimated fee. It would be the company's first ETF.

The XRP filings suggest issuers are pushing regulators to open the crypto boom to the mainstream retail market.

“This demonstrates that ETF providers will be closely following the regulatory landscape for perceived daylight in allowing them to offer new products,” said Stephane Ouellette, co-founder and chief executive officer of FRNT Financial. “There’s still uncertainty about whether they will be approved, and it very much makes sense for two firms born out of the crypto native landscape to try to broaden their product offerings.”

These bids come in the wake of an event: in August, a federal judge ordered Ripple Labs Inc. to pay a civil penalty over allegations that it sold its XRP token to institutional investors without registering it with US regulators following a long legal dispute.

In September, the crypto asset manager Grayscale Investments announced that it started offering the Grayscale XRP Trust, which provides investors with exposure to the token powering XRP Ledger. This is a decentralised, peer-to-peer network aiming to support cross-border financial transactions.
