Moving Markets: Daily News

Today’s main focus will be the first trading day of the newly approved US spot Bitcoin ETFs and the market’s reaction to the release of US inflation figures. Asian shares are seeing their best day since the start of the year on USD weakness, and the EUR is higher as ECB officials caution against interest rate cuts. Carsten Menke, Head of Next Generation Research, notes that the muted price reaction to the SEC’s approval of the spot Bitcoin ETFs is probably a positive sign. Nicolas Jordan, from the CIO Office, highlights that a more optimistic investor consensus compared with the start of last year means that market fragility has increased in the short term.
