According to BlockBeats, U.S. consumer confidence has plummeted to its lowest level in more than three years, driven by the economic impact of the government shutdown and rising prices affecting personal financial expectations. Preliminary data from the University of Michigan indicates that the consumer confidence index fell to 50.3 in November, down from 53.6 the previous month, marking the lowest point since June 2022. The current conditions index dropped significantly by 6.3 points to a record low of 52.3, reflecting growing public concern over the effects of the government shutdown. The report highlights that this decline in overall confidence is widespread across various age, income, and political groups. Although mentions of 'high prices' have increased for the fifth consecutive month, long-term inflation expectations have eased. Consumers anticipate that prices will rise at an average annual rate of 3.6% over the next five to ten years, reaching a three-month low. The statement notes, "Consumers are experiencing financial pressure from multiple sources. They also expect the labor market to weaken further and anticipate being affected."

According to Cointelegraph, AI-powered trading bots are increasingly capturing the attention of crypto market participants, generating both enthusiasm and concern among traders eager to automate their strategies. However, industry experts caution that many individuals still misunderstand the capabilities and limitations of these bots, as well as the distinct differences between specialized trading AIs and general-purpose tools like ChatGPT. AI trading tools are gaining prominence, but the excitement surrounding them should be tempered with an understanding of the risks involved in entrusting automated systems with investment capital. Brett Singer, sales and research lead at Glassnode, and Nodari Kolmakhidze, chief financial officer and partner at Cindicator, which developed Stoic.AI, are at the forefront of data, algorithms, and traders shaping the future of AI-driven strategies. Singer emphasized that the true strength of AI in trading lies not in magical decision-making but in data processing capabilities. He explained that models can explore extensive databases swiftly, enabling the development of trading strategies. Glassnode's Claude-powered MCP server exemplifies this by providing advanced analytics that can answer complex questions rapidly. Despite these advancements, Singer warned that most AI bots struggle in realistic market conditions, often failing to outperform the market. He noted that many rely on shallow backtests or single-signal strategies, lacking the robustness employed by professional quant desks. Kolmakhidze highlighted the distinction between general-purpose AI models like ChatGPT and specialized bots designed for trading. He argued that expecting a chatbot trained on text to execute profitable strategies is unrealistic, as trading remains challenging even for top hedge funds. Kolmakhidze also cautioned against the misconception that AI bots are automatic profit machines, emphasizing that market regimes shift and even strong models can falter when volatility or momentum structures change. Both experts concurred that AI's future role is not to replace traders but to enhance them. Singer likened today's AI to "an associate or an intern that can work 24 hours a day," yet still requires human judgment.
