💵 💴 💶U.S. and Mexico Delay Trump Tariffs, Crypto Market Recovers💴 💶
The U.S. and Mexico have decided to delay the new tariffs planned by Donald Trump on Mexican goods for a month. This decision was announced after a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. As part of the agreement, Mexico will deploy 10,000 soldiers to its northern border to strengthen efforts against drug trafficking. While global markets have reacted differently to this development, signs of recovery in the cryptocurrency market have been notable.
MicroStrategy Breaks 12-Week Bitcoin Buying Streak
According to Michael Saylor, MicroStrategy has finally broken its 12-week consecutive Bitcoin buying streak. The firm did not sell any of its Class A common shares this week or use any proceeds to purchase BTC. The company might owe billions in taxes on unrealized gains, and Bitcoin’s price remains highly volatile due to U.S. tariffs and political instability.
Eurozone Inflation Rises AgainWith energy prices contributing more, inflation in the Eurozone has slightly increased across the region, while food inflation has declined and core inflation remains stable at 2.7%. The base effects that had been pushing inflation higher in recent months eased in January, limiting the rise in inflation. The expectation for 2025 suggests a downward trend in inflation, but the key question is to what extent this decline will materialize. Wage increases are expected to slow significantly towards the end of the year, weakening a key driver of domestic inflation. However, energy prices have started to rise again, and business surveys indicate that goods and services inflation may increase in the coming months as companies continue to pass high costs on to consumers.
