WTI holds steady near $63.50 as optimism over Russia-Ukraine peace fades

The post WTI holds steady near $63.50 as optimism over Russia-Ukraine peace fades appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WTI steadies as fading prospects for an immediate Russia-Ukraine peace deal support the risk premium. Traders turn cautious amid Russian airstrikes near the EU border and Ukrainian strikes on a Russian Oil refinery. US increases pressure on India over Russian crude imports, imposing a 25% tariff on Indian goods effective August 27. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) Oil price holds ground after two days of gains, trading around $63.40 during the Asian hours on Friday. Crude Oil prices were largely unchanged, with waning hopes for an immediate Russia-Ukraine peace deal underpinning the risk premium demanded by Oil sellers. Reuters cited analysts at ING, saying in a client note on Friday, “It’s proving difficult to set up a Putin-Zelenskiy summit, while discussions around potential security guarantees face obstacles,” “The less likely a ceasefire looks, the more likely the risk of tougher (US) sanctions” on Russia. The market sentiment remains cautious after reports of Russian airstrikes near the European Union (EU) border and Ukrainian attacks on a Russian Oil refinery. Moscow has demanded major concessions, but President Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejected giving up any territory. Oil prices may regain their ground as the United States (US) increases pressure on India over Russian crude imports, announcing a 25% tariff on Indian goods effective August 27. Crude accounts for nearly 35% of India’s imports. The demand for Oil could face challenges amid easing odds of a Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate cut in September. The higher borrowing cost negatively impacts the economic activities in the United States, the world’s largest economy, which affects Oil requirements. The CME FedWatch tool indicates that the Fed funds futures traders are now pricing in a 75% chance of a rate reduction in September, down from 82% on Wednesday.

Japanese Yen remains depressed amid BoJ rate-hike uncertainty

Japanese Yen remains depressed amid BoJ rate-hike uncertainty

The post Japanese Yen remains depressed amid BoJ rate-hike uncertainty appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Japanese Yen struggles to lure buyers despite slightly higher-than-expected inflation figures. The uncertainty over the likely timing of the next BoJ rate hike continues to undermine the JPY. The USD bulls retain control ahead of Fed Chair Powell’s speech and support the USD/JPY pair. The Japanese Yen (JPY) continues losing ground against a broadly firmer US Dollar (USD) for the second straight day and drops to a three-week low during the Asian session on Friday. The uncertainty over the likely timing of the next interest rate hike by the Bank of Japan (BoJ) continues to undermine the JPY, which fails to gain any respite from Japan’s consumer inflation figures. In fact, Japan’s National Consumer Price Index (CPI) indicated that the underlying inflation remained sticky and backed the case for further policy normalization by the BoJ. Meanwhile, the US Dollar (USD) retains its positive bias and climbs to the highest level since August 6 amid diminishing odds for a more aggressive policy easing by the Federal Reserve (Fed). This provides an additional boost to the USD/JPY pair and contributes to the intraday positive move beyond mid-147.00s. The fundamental backdrop suggests that the path of least resistance for the pair is to the upside. Traders, however, might refrain from placing fresh bets and opt to wait for Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium. Japanese Yen remains depressed amid BoJ rate hike uncertainty, ahead of Powell’s speech Japan’s Statistics Bureau reported this Friday that the National Consumer Price Index (CPI) cooled to the 3.1% YoY rate in July from 3.1% in the previous month. Further details revealed that the core gauge, which strips out costs for fresh food, eased from 3.3% in June to 3.1%, marking its lowest level since November 2024. The latter, however, was slightly higher…

Investors expect Fed Powell to reiterate a “wait and see” approach on the interest rate outlook. Fed Schmid signals no rush for interest rate cuts. The USD/CHF pair posts a fresh weekly high near 0.8100 during the late Asian session on Friday. The Swiss Franc pair advances as the US Dollar (USD) trades firmly ahead of Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole (JH) Symposium at 14:00 GMT. During the press time, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, posts a fresh 10-day high near 98.85. The US Dollar has attracted significant bids as financial market participants expect Fed Chair Powell to maintain his argument that interest rates should remain at their current levels until the central bank gets clarity on the impact of tariffs on inflation and the economy. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes of the July policy meeting also showed on Wednesday that a majority of members, including Jerome Powell, has stated that the central bank needs time to gain clarity on the “magnitude and persistence of higher tariffs’ effects on inflation”. On Thursday, Kansas City Fed Bank President Jeffrey Schmid stated that there is no rush for interest rate cuts as inflation is still above the central bank’s target of 2%. On the Swiss Franc (CHF) front, investors look for fresh cues about whether the Swiss National Bank (SNB) will push interest rates into a negative territory to uplift inflationary pressures. Inflation in the Swiss region grew at an annual pace of 0.2% in July. Economic Indicator Fed’s Chair Powell speech Jerome H.

Here’s why Flutter stock is floating higher

Here’s why Flutter stock is floating higher

The post Here’s why Flutter stock is floating higher appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. FanDuel just inked a deal with CME Group to enter the predictions market. Flutter Entertainment (NASDAQ:FLUT) stock was up about 2% in early trading after the company announced a new partnership for its FanDuel property that will launch it into the growing predictions market. FanDuel is the largest online sports betting site, with some 4.5 million active users. With this new deal with derivatives marketplace CME Group (NASDAQ:CME), FanDuel will develop new event-based contracts that allow users to predict the outcomes in financial markets. Customers will be able to make predictions on a wide range of market questions with simple “yes” or “no” answers for as little as $1 per chance. It is essentially akin to betting on the outcome, but FanDuel and CME call it trading event-based contracts. According to FanDuel, the prediction will focus on benchmarks such as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100, prices of oil and gas, gold, cryptocurrencies, and key economic indicators such as gross domestic product (GDP) and Consumer Price Index (CPI). An example of a question might be, Will the S&P 500 finish above X by X date? Or will the Fed lower interest rates at its next meeting? “Individual investors are increasingly sophisticated and continually pursuing new financial opportunities,” Terry Duffy, CME group chairman and CEO, said. “To meet this demand, we have created this innovative partnership, which will operate a non-clearing FCM. Together, our event-based products will appeal to the growing public interest in markets, and we will provide education to attract a new generation of potential traders not active in derivatives today.” Additional revenue stream for FanDuel and Flutter Through this new initiative, a first for the online sports betting space, CME and FanDuel will form a new joint venture. In this joint venture, they will operate a non-clearing futures…

An institution that manages $2.5 trillion has changed its tune after 6 years: Bitcoin is a reliable store of value

An institution that manages $2.5 trillion has changed its tune after 6 years: Bitcoin is a reliable store of value

In a recent investment report, Allianz Group declared Bitcoin a "reliable store of value," marking the first time that the institution, which manages $2.5 trillion in assets, has recognized digital assets as a legitimate institutional investment target. The report, titled "Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies: The Future of Finance," stands in stark contrast to Allianz's 2019 policy against Bitcoin investment. Today, the German investment giant defines Bitcoin’s evolution “from an experimental protocol to a reliable store of value” as a core element of modern portfolio construction. “Bitcoin’s deflationary design, decentralized governance, and low correlation with traditional markets make it an attractive hedge and long-term asset,” the report states. Allianz specifically emphasized that Bitcoin's correlation with the S&P 500 index is only 0.12, and its correlation with gold is -0.04, which makes it an effective portfolio diversification tool. Allianz cited "accelerated institutional adoption" as a key factor in Bitcoin's legitimization. The report noted that as of the second quarter, corporate treasury Bitcoin purchases had exceeded ETFs for three consecutive quarters, with publicly listed companies purchasing approximately 131,000 BTC in the second quarter alone. The asset manager also highlighted university endowment funds’ emerging cryptocurrency investment strategies, specifically noting that Emory University was the first U.S. university to publicly disclose a significant Bitcoin investment. Allianz believes this trend indicates that "digital assets are being integrated into the operations and investment strategies of higher education institutions." The report said that Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell recently called Bitcoin the "digital counterpart of gold", further confirming the institution's recognition of Bitcoin. Allianz also noted that increased global regulatory clarity has removed major barriers to institutional participation in the crypto space. The report argues that infrastructure development has facilitated institutional entry. Regulated exchanges like Coinbase, institutional-grade custodians like Fidelity Digital Assets, and SEC-approved Bitcoin spot ETFs have collectively "built a bridge between traditional finance and the crypto space." Allianz described Bitcoin’s transformation as “one of the most profound changes in modern finance” and predicted its continued integration into mainstream investment portfolios. The agency expects that the tokenization of real-world assets and DeFi will "significantly expand the total addressable market for cryptocurrencies." As one of Europe's largest asset management institutions, Allianz's endorsement is significant. In a policy document released in 2019, the company clearly stated that it would avoid cryptocurrency investment due to regulatory uncertainty and volatility concerns. Allianz concluded in its report: “Barring an unforeseen catastrophe or a collapse of the global financial system due to a technological flaw, Bitcoin will become a permanent part of the financial system rather than a short-term speculative trend.” The report further states that digital assets “are not only complementary to the future of global finance, but also its cornerstone.”
