Wall Street Futures Climb on Fed Cut Hopes as Bitcoin Extends Steep Decline

US markets staged a rebound Friday morning, with futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all moving higher after a turbulent week. The rally was fueled by growing bets that the Federal Reserve could cut interest rates at its upcoming December meeting, following dovish comments from New York Fed President John Williams. His remarks shifted sentiment sharply, with nearly 70% of traders now expecting a rate cut. Dow futures gained 0.7% , leading the advance. S&P 500 futures rose 0.5% , while Nasdaq futures added 0.4% . The optimism comes after Thursday’s sharp sell-off, underscoring the volatility gripping markets as investors weigh AI-driven risks and Fed policy divisions. Meanwhile, cryptocurrencies continued to struggle. Bitcoin plunged to around $82,000 , marking its worst month since the 2022 crypto collapse. The decline reflects heavy institutional outflows, miner sell-offs, and broader risk-off sentiment across digital assets.

Bad Boy Furniture Warehouse Declared Bankrupt After Failing to File Proposal

 

Bad Boy Furniture Warehouse, a Toronto-area furniture retailer, has been declared bankrupt after failing to file a proposal under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. 

The company had filed a notice of intention in November 2023, stating that it aimed to restructure its business. However, it failed to file a cash-flow statement or proposal in time, and is now deemed to have made an assignment. The Ontario court gave Bad Boy permission to begin liquidation sales in November 2023.

The company’s failure to file a proposal has resulted in its bankruptcy, which has been confirmed by a document on the website of bankruptcy trustee KSV Advisory. The company’s bankruptcy is a significant blow to the furniture industry, and it remains to be seen how it will affect the industry as a whole.
