Key Takeaways

  • Macro Environment: U.S. stocks remained cautious ahead of the Federal Reserve's meeting minutes and Nvidia’s earnings report. The minutes reiterated a cautious approach to rate cuts and maintained a wait-and-see stance, providing no favorable signals to the market. As a result, the U.S. stock rally paused, with all three major indices closing lower. After hours, Nvidia’s strong earnings drove U.S. stock futures higher. Additionally, the U.S. Court of International Trade blocked the "reciprocal tariffs" policy, dealing a blow to Trump's tariff strategy. This led to a sharp rebound in the three major U.S. stock indices and a short-term drop in gold prices.
  • Crypto Market: Heavily influenced by macroeconomic factors, Bitcoin’s price movement became more correlated with U.S. stock futures, generally mirroring their trends and closing down 1.06%. The U.S. court’s halting of Trump’s reciprocal tariff policy led to a sharp Bitcoin rally, breaking above $108,000. ETH/BTC ratio rose for the third consecutive day, breaking 0.025, and showed strong resilience during Bitcoin’s dip. Ethereum's strength drove a broader rebound in the Ethereum ecosystem, and Bitcoin's market dominance started to decline.
