US Dollar Index rises to near 99.00 on fading Fed rate cut odds, Powell’s speech awaited

The post US Dollar Index rises to near 99.00 on fading Fed rate cut odds, Powell’s speech awaited appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. US Dollar Index appreciates ahead of Fed Chair Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium. Fed rate cut odds ease following the US Purchasing Managers’ Index data and Initial Jobless Claims. Cleveland Fed President Hammack stated there is currently no case for cutting interest rates. The US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the value of the US Dollar (USD) against six major currencies, is extending its gains for the second successive session and trading around 98.80 during the Asian hours on Friday. Traders await Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium in Wyoming to gain clues on the September policy outlook. The US Dollar appreciates amid easing odds of Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate cut in September, driven by strong Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) and rising Initial Jobless Claims data from the United States (US). According to the CME FedWatch tool, Fed funds futures traders are now pricing in a 75% chance of a rate reduction in September, down from 82% on Wednesday. The preliminary S&P Global US Composite PMI inched higher to 55.4 in August, from 55.1 prior. Meanwhile, the US Manufacturing PMI rose to 53.3 from 49.8 prior, surpassing the market consensus of 49.5. Services PMI eased to 55.4 from 55.7 previous reading, but was stronger than the 54.2 expected. Moreover, US Initial Jobless Claims rose to 235K for the previous week, an eight-week high and above the consensus estimate of 225K, suggesting some softening in labor market conditions. On the sidelines of the three-day symposium, Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack said, during an interview with Yahoo Finance on Thursday, “I walk into every meeting with an open mind,” “But with the data I have right now and with the information I have, if the meeting was tomorrow, I would not see a…

Powell’s Jackson Hole-toespraak: markten kijken gespannen vooruit

Powell’s Jackson Hole-toespraak: markten kijken gespannen vooruit

Snelle crypto updates? Connect op Instagram! Check onze Instagram   De financiële markten staan vandaag vooral in het teken van de jaarlijkse conferentie in Jackson Hole, waar Fed-voorzitter Jerome Powell vanmiddag zijn langverwachte toespraak zal houden. Beleggers en analisten volgen het evenement op de voet, omdat de speech richting kan geven aan het toekomstige rentebeleid van de Amerikaanse centrale bank. Afnemende hoop op snelle renteverlaging Lange tijd rekenden markten bijna zeker op een renteverlaging in september. In juli lag de kans volgens de futuresmarkt nog op ruim 90 procent. Inmiddels is dat optimisme echter afgezwakt: de kans wordt nu ingeschat op ongeveer 73 tot 79 procent. De reden daarvoor ligt in recente economische signalen. De groothandelsprijzen stegen vorige maand tot het hoogste niveau in drie jaar, wat wijst op aanhoudende inflatiedruk. Tegelijkertijd blijft de werkloosheid historisch laag, waardoor de Fed minder haast lijkt te hebben om de rente te verlagen. INFLATION Here’s the data worrying investors: Inflation in the USA remains high despite steady interest rates. Many expect the Fed to maintain current rates longer, impacting the economy. However, there’s a 75% chance of a rate cut in September, per consensus. I’m not… pic.twitter.com/lE67rNpP5l — TokenTide (@TokenTideCrypto) August 22, 2025 Economische signalen en marktreacties De combinatie van stijgende prijsdruk en een verslechterde arbeidsmarkt maakt de afweging voor Powell complex. Terwijl consumenten nog steeds blijven uitgeven en de woningmarkt toch veerkrachtig oogt, zijn er ook tekenen van verzwakking, zoals een lagere banengroei in de afgelopen maanden. Deze gemengde data zorgen voor onzekerheid bij beleggers. De aandelenmarkten lieten dat deze week duidelijk zien: de Nasdaq verloor ruim 2 procent, de S&P 500 daalde meer dan 1 procent, en ook de Dow Jones sloot lager. Terrible numbers in Aug #JobsReport and it gets worse with the increasingly suspicious “revisions”… Here’s a deep-dive, plain English with what you need to know… pic.twitter.com/3Pdba7u1gb — E.J. Antoni, Ph.D. (@RealEJAntoni) September 1, 2023 Deze dalingen weerspiegelen ook duidelijk in de crypto markt, waar Bitcoin, Ethereum en veel andere coins de afgelopen week een neerwaartse trend tonen. Zowel Bitcoin en altcoins gaan de laatste tijd langzaam naar beneden. Bron: CoinGecko   Tegelijkertijd bleef de obligatiemarkt relatief rustig, met beperkte bewegingen in de Amerikaanse tienjaarsrente rond de 4,2 tot 4,3 procent. Analisten waarschuwen echter dat de speech van Powell vandaag alsnog flinke schommelingen kan veroorzaken, zeker omdat de liquiditeit in de zomer lager is dan normaal. Wat denk jij? Komen er rente verlagingen? En wat zal dat voor invloed hebben op crypto? Word vandaag nog lid van onze Discord-community en praat live mee over Powell’s speech, deel inzichten en ontdek kansen samen met andere crypto experts. Politieke druk en onafhankelijkheid Naast economische data speelt ook de politieke context een rol. Powell ligt onder een vergrootglas door druk vanuit Washington. President Trump heeft recentelijk openlijk gepleit voor renteverlagingen en leverde stevige kritiek op het beleid van Powell en de centrale bank. Hij en Powell staan niet op goede voet met elkaar en hebben zeer uiteenlopende ideeën over hoe de Amerikaanse economie moet worden bepaald.   Ook binnen de Fed zelf is er onrust, onder meer door de oproepen tot het aftreden van gouverneur Lisa Cook. Voor Powell is het daarom een uitdaging om zowel de markten als de politiek tegemoet te treden, zonder de onafhankelijkheid van de Fed in twijfel te laten trekken. BREAKING: A Department of Justice official appointed by President Trump has called for Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell to remove Democratic Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, who faces a criminal referral for alleged mortgage fraud from FHFA Director Bill Pulte. pic.twitter.com/UPeJUcSNon — Officer Lew (@officer_Lew) August 21, 2025 Vooruitblik: alle ogen op Jackson Hole Vanmiddag om 16:00 uur Nederlandse tijd zal Powell spreken in Jackson Hole en meer duidelijkheid geven over de koers van de Amerikaanse centrale bank. Of hij expliciet zal hinten op een renteverlaging in september is nog onzeker. De markten wachten gespannen af hoe de boodschap van Powell de toon voor de komende maanden zal zetten.

Australian Dollar declines as US Dollar advances on easing Fed rate expectations

Australian Dollar declines as US Dollar advances on easing Fed rate expectations

The post Australian Dollar declines as US Dollar advances on easing Fed rate expectations appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Australian Dollar maintains its position near the two-month low of 0.6414 recorded on Thursday. AUD/USD came under pressure as the US Dollar strengthened following upbeat S&P Global US PMI data. The CME FedWatch Tool indicates a 74% chance of a September rate cut, down from 82% on Wednesday. The Australian Dollar (AUD) steadies near a two-month low at 0.6414 after registering losses in the previous four consecutive days. However, the AUD/USD pair lost ground as the US Dollar (USD) gained ground after the upbeat S&P Global US Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) data was released on Thursday. The AUD also received downward pressure as Consumer Inflation Expectations rose 3.9% in August, coming in below the previous increase of 4.7%. The preliminary S&P Global US Composite PMI picked up pace in August, with the index at 55.4 versus 55.1 prior. Meanwhile, the US Manufacturing PMI rose to 53.3 from 49.8 prior, surpassing the market consensus of 49.5. Services PMI eased to 55.4 from 55.7 previous reading, but was stronger than the 54.2 expected. Traders expect the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) to remain cautious after last week’s rate cut. However, investors anticipate that the central bank may resume easing with a larger 50 basis-point rate cut, likely in November. Australian Dollar loses ground as US Dollar steadies ahead of Powell’s speech The US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the value of the US Dollar against six major currencies, is holding ground after registering gains in the previous session and trading around 98.60 at the time of writing.

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

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. The rate cut likelihood reduced following the strong Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI)…

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…
