A look ahead at the key developments for the week starting June 22.
Crypto markets are attempting to decouple from a challenging macro backdrop after a wave of major central bank developments, led by the Bank of Japan’s landmark move to raise interest rates to 1.0% and new Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh’s reworked FOMC policy framework.
Investors head into the week weighing easing fears around energy-driven inflation against increasing signals that liquidity conditions could tighten in the near term.
While the official U.S.-Iran peace agreement has reduced geopolitical risk by reopening the Strait of Hormuz, it has also dampened the momentum behind traditional safe-haven assets. Capital flows are now shifting toward a packed slate of U.S. economic data, with markets closely watching Thursday’s Core PCE release for further clues on inflation trends.
At the same time, bitcoin is holding firm above the key $64,000 psychological level, suggesting that the macro pressures that have weighed on digital assets in recent months may be beginning to ease.
