Novin Trades Market View and Forecast (practical tactical read)
SEO snippet: Short-term tactical read for traders and procurement: watch the Fed meeting calendar, the BEA reschedule, energy geopolitics, and mortgage-driven housing data.
Novin Trades short forecast (next 4–8 weeks):
- Policy: Market-implied odds favor an initial Fed easing between December 2025 and January 2026, but outcomes are data-dependent. Reuters

- Energy: Oil likely to stay range-bound in the $55–$70/bbl band as OPEC+ guidance and Ukraine dialogue trade off demand cues. Reuters+1
- Housing: Mortgage rates inching down (30-year mid-6% range) should modestly support purchase activity but affordability remains constrained. Freddie Mac
Tactical recommendations (for risk managers & procurement):
- Hedge short-term exposure to rates if your cost of capital is variable; monitor swaps and Treasury curves.
- Energy buyers: assess hedging windows around the OPEC+ meeting and geopolitical headlines.
- Procurement in materials (lumber, metals): maintain flexible contract terms and buy options where possible due to elevated volatility.
