Asia Session Market Overview
Precious metals like gold and silver plunged sharply at the start of the week.
This has also put downward pressure on crude oil and stock markets. While gold and silver are considered safe-haven assets, their recent rapid rise had taken on speculative characteristics.
This speculative behavior was likely triggered by last weekend's reports of President Trump's nomination of Mr. Warsh as the next Federal Reserve Chair. This news heightened concerns about a stronger dollar and a more hawkish stance from the Fed, prompting a sharp correction.
Market eyes are on U.S.-driven factors like Fed appointments and the stopgap budget. Regarding the next Fed chair, President Trump has announced his nomination of Mr. Warsh. Initially, Mr. Warsh's hawkish stance during his time as a Fed governor had fueled dollar buying.
However, opposing concern still remains about how markets will interpret the fact that he was nominated by President Trump, who favors rate cuts and a weaker dollar.
Furthermore, the nomination still requires confirmation by the U.S. Congress, necessitating a closer look at Mr. Wash's views on monetary policy. Regarding the stopgap budget, it awaits a vote in the House of Representatives. Depending on the timing, there is also the possibility that the U.S. employment statistics release scheduled for this weekend could be delayed. The situation does not yet appear to be conducive to spreading a sense of reassurance in the market.
$BTC is trading around 74600.
Bearish sentiment lingers.
