Numerous factors are simmering in the market climate, impacting the overall status of the crypto industry.
“The jobless claims data for the last week rose to 248,000, exceeding the consensus projection of 230,000. While inflation remains notably higher than the Fed’s desired two percent target, the decelerating prices are expected to take some of the pressure off the Federal Reserve to keep hiking rates. The US central bank delivered another 25-bps hike last month. For now, that was supposed to be the last one,” the CoinDCX research team told Gadgets 360.
