🌍 Global Market Update

Markets rallied this week as the U.S. and China agreed to pause new tariffs and ease export restrictions for 90 days — a truce that lifted global stocks. Still, with U.S. tariffs near 20%, long-term uncertainty remains.

Boosting sentiment further, U.S. inflation data for April came in softer than expected. Headline CPI rose just 0.2% for the month, with annual inflation at 2.3%, both below forecasts. Core inflation matched estimates at 2.8% year-over-year but was also cooler month-over-month.

The milder inflation strengthens the case for possible rate cuts and fresh liquidity. While Fed Chair Powell remains cautious, this data could prompt a shift in tone.

💹 Crypto Market Highlights

It’s been a strong week for crypto, and Ethereum is leading the charge. ETH soared nearly 40%, reclaiming the $2,500 level after the Pectra upgrade and a wave of macro tailwinds — its best performance in years.

Altcoins followed fast. DOGE, PEPE, ADA, AVAX, LINK, and others posted double-digit gains, reviving altcoin season vibes and signaling renewed investor confidence.

Bitcoin also made headlines, crossing the $2 trillion market cap mark and pulling in $882 million in institutional flows. While big players remain cautious, momentum is clearly building.

Talks of a new BTC all-time high are heating up. With ETF demand rising, institutions buying, and the market turning bullish, many believe the setup is in place.

In a major move for mainstream legitimacy, Coinbase is being added to the S&P 500, marking another leap for crypto into traditional finance.

And while stablecoin legislation remains on hold in the U.S., the mood may be shifting. New SEC Chair Paul Atkins is signaling a friendlier stance toward crypto, giving the industry reason for cautious optimism.
