Details of Donald Trump’s crypto project have been revealed: How will the token distribution be?
Once again facing an assassination attempt over the weekend, Donald Trump gave a speech during a Space broadcast on X (formerly Twitter) late at night, where he both expressed his support for the crypto world and introduced his new project. As he has stated many times before, Trump emphasized that the Biden administration and the SEC are taking a hostile stance towards cryptocurrencies. Trump participated in the broadcast for about 40 minutes of the 2-hour session.
GLOBAL MARKETS
There were fluctuating trades in Asian markets, while the U.S. dollar and Treasury yields were under pressure ahead of the expected easing cycle from the Federal Reserve (Fed), which is due tomorrow. The possibility of the central bank making a larger-than-expected rate cut is also on the table.
With public holidays continuing in China and South Korea, there were low trading volumes, and investors are now focused on the Fed’s decision tomorrow, with the likelihood of a 50 basis point rate cut increasing. The drop in U.S. Treasury yields is another factor putting pressure on the dollar. The yield on two-year U.S. Treasury notes (US2YT=RR), which closely tracks near-term rate expectations in the U.S., fell to 3.5280% yesterday, its lowest level in two years, and most recently stood at 3.5571%.
China’s Oil Demand is Declining
In early trading in Asia this morning, despite lower-than-expected data from China over the weekend, oil prices rose. However, oil-related data also came in weak. Chinese refineries processed about 12.6 million barrels of crude oil per day in August, a nearly 10% decline month-over-month and a 17.5% decline year-over-year. These figures show that apparent oil demand fell below 12.5 million barrels per day, down more than 15% year-over-year, marking the lowest level since August 2022. Additionally, China’s crude oil stockpiles increased by about 3.2 million barrels per day in August, the largest monthly stockpile increase since 2015.
