Bitcoin, Ethereum Pull Back: Crypto Market Faces Turbulence Amid Economic Uncertainty
Portfolio Pulse from Murtuza Merchant
The cryptocurrency market experienced a downturn as U.S. trading resumed post-Labor Day, with Bitcoin and Ethereum seeing declines. This drop aligns with a broader selloff in traditional markets, influenced by macroeconomic factors like the ISM Manufacturing PMI report. The report suggests potential stagflationary pressures, affecting expectations for the Federal Reserve's monetary policy. The CME Group's FedWatch tool indicates a higher probability of a 50-basis-point rate cut in September. The upcoming August employment report is crucial for determining the Fed's next move.
