Key Takeaways

  • Macro Environment: Cooling inflation clashes with rising geopolitical tensions, causing U.S. stocks to experience a roller-coaster ride. U.S. May CPI slowed more than expected, with no tariff pass-through observed yet. This boosted market expectations for a Fed rate cut in September, causing U.S. Treasury yields to plummet and stock futures to rise. However, escalating Middle East tensions and Trump's statement of "diminished confidence" in reaching a nuclear deal with Iran quickly reversed risk sentiment. The S&P 500 closed down 0.27% and the Nasdaq fell 0.5%, wiping out early gains.
  • Crypto Market: Bitcoin’s correlation with U.S. equities strengthened under macro influence, while ETH showed relative resilience. Bitcoin surged past $110,000 amid optimism over U.S.-China trade talks and inflation data, nearing its all-time high before retreating alongside equities, ending its 5-day winning streak. ETH remained strong, peaking above $2,880 before pulling back; the ETH/BTC ratio stabilized at 0.025 as market attention continued to grow. Bitcoin dominance rose slightly by 0.06%, while altcoins saw steeper losses during the broader market correction.
  • Project Highlights: South Korea’s new president will promote the development of a Korean won stablecoin, and KAIA has joined the national competition with plans to issue one. This has driven KAIA’s price up 56% over the past three days.
  • Today's Outlook: U.S. May PPI data release. APT token unlock: 1.79% of total supply, valued at approx. $52.7 million. Apple’s WWDC25 continues (June 9–13)
