Market Overview
In the latest 24 hours, cryptocurrencies exhibited a slight decline, with the CoinDesk 20 index dipping by 1.4%. Bitcoin (BTC) has remained stable, hovering around $95,000. This market response falls within recent volatility levels and reflects a robust monthly performance, with Bitcoin poised for a 15% gain in April, the highest since November.
Current Economic Sentiment
The market is facing increasing concern regarding President Donald Trump’s tariffs which may affect nearly every country, creating an environment of growing uncertainty.
According to Bankinter, stock prices surged last week, driven by expectations of reduced tariffs from Trump and pending Federal Reserve interest rate cuts.
Bankinter’s Note: “However, the outlook could worsen today as some damage is already apparent, impacting market confidence, a foundational aspect for stability.”
Notable Corporate Actions: Major companies like P&G, UPS, PepsiCo, and GM have revised their earnings forecasts downward due to these economic crosswinds. An increase in French GDP figures also suggests a troubling trend, hinting at a possible contraction of U.S. GDP when it is reported at 8:30 a.m. today.
Looking Forward
- Crypto Events: ProShares launch three new leveraged ETFs related to XRP on April 30 at 9:30 a.m. Followed by significant upgrades and launches in various cryptocurrencies.
- Macro Events: Key U.S. economic indicators, including GDP growth rates and employment data, are scheduled for release today.
