Inflation data in Japan and the Euroland gather all the attention

The US Dollar (USD) added to Wednesday’s post-Fed strong rebound and climbed to fresh two-month highs as market participants continued to assess the Fed’s rate cut, the cautious approach from Chief Powell, and the lack of progress over a deal to end the federal government shutdown.

Here’s what to watch on Friday, October 31:

The US Dollar Index (DXY) advanced to multi-week tops past 99.70 helped by an equally marked upside momentum in US Treasury yields across the curve. The release of the Chicago PMI will wrap up the calendar, followed by speeches by the Fed’s Hammack and Bostic.

EUR/USD tumbled to new two-week troughs below 1.1550 in response to the stronger Greenback, while markets paid little attention to the ECB’s interest rate decision. The preliminary Inflation Rate in the euro bloc will be the salient event, seconded by Retail Sales in Germany.

GBP/USD collapsed to levels last seen in early April near 1.3120 in response to the sharp uptick in the US Dollar and expectations of a rate cut by the BoE. The Nationwide Housing Prices are next on tap across the Channel.

USD/JPY surpassed the 154.00 barrier for the first time since February following the lack of a clear message on rates after the BoJ’s steady hand at its meeting. The Tokyo CPI will take centre stage ahead of the Unemployment Rate, advanced Industrial Production prints and Retail Sales data.

AUD/USD added to Wednesday’s pullback and challenged weekly troughs near 0.6530 despite the positive news from the trade front. Australia’s Producer Prices are due alongside Housing Credit data and Private Sector Credit figures.

Prices of the American WTI added to Wednesday’s small uptick and approached the $61.00 mark per barrel amid traders’ assessment of the US-China trade agreement.

Gold regained some traction following four consecutive daily declines, although a convincing move above the key $4,000 mark per troy ounce remained elusive. Silver prices climbed further, reclaiming the area near the $49.00 mark per ounce.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
