Ethereum brushes record high after the Fed chair says that “risk balance” changes

Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency in the world, is also up. He jumped approximately 4% in the last day at around $ 117,000, by Binance. The total market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies increased by 6% to more than 4.1 billions of dollars, reflecting wider overvoltage on the stock market. The S&P 500 has increased by 1.5% since the trading start on Friday morning.

“Reference prospects and risk balance can justify the adaptation of our political position,” Powell said during his speech at a conference at Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

Friday’s overvoltage is the last change of market in a bet for high issues on the question of whether the Fed will reduce the rates in September, which would encourage traders to adopt more risky and higher bets, such as crypto.

Last week, investors pushed the markets higher after the Bureau of Labor Statistics said that inflation had increased only moderately 2.7% in July, an increase below what traders prompted traders to accumulate in risky assets such as crypto.

But, two days later, the BLS reported a 0.9% increase in the price index of producers, or a measurement of price oscillations of the cost of goods produced in the United States, it was the highest monthly increase in the index since June 2022, and traders have withdrawn from the crypto for fear that the Fed probably maintains the stable rates in response.

While investors provided that Powell’s remarks to Jackson Hole, where the fed chairs usually spoke during a conference organized by the Federal Reserve Bank in Kansas City, cryptographic markets then covered again.

But Friday’s markets have suffered a large part of anxiety. Merchants now assess 85% like the Fed reduces rates in September, according to CME Fedwatch, which gives daily estimates of the probability of increases or rate cuts. It was 72% just before Powell speaks.
