US President Donald Trump has finally signed the long-awaited customs agreement with the European Union (EU). Instead of the hefty 30% tariffs expected to take effect on August 1st, the parties agreed on a flat 15% tariff rate. This development not only helped prevent global trade wars but also ignited financial markets and cryptocurrencies. Following the agreement's announcement, the S&P 500 index surpassed the 6,400 level, moving one step closer to its all-time high. Around the same time, Bitcoin (BTC) surpassed $120,000, a level it hadn't surpassed for nearly two weeks. However, the leading cryptocurrency remains below its all-time high of $123,080.US and EU reach agreementThe agreement, announced after a meeting between Trump and EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Turnberry, Scotland, could herald a new era in the global trading system. The parties agreed to a flat 15% tariff instead of tariffs that could have reached as high as 30%. However, products such as aircraft parts, some chemicals, and pharmaceuticals were excluded from this tariff.Trump also announced that the EU will purchase $750 billion in energy from the US over the next three years and pledge an additional $600 billion in investments. These investments include defense equipment. Von der Leyen emphasized the importance of the agreement, saying, "This is not just a trade agreement; it is a step toward restoring geopolitical balance."Markets soar: Stocks, Bitcoin, and altcoins rallyThe announcement of the agreement revived risk appetite in global markets. Dow Jones futures jumped 180 points (approximately 0.4%), while Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 futures rose 0.4% and 0.3%, respectively. US stock markets, which had already closed strong on Friday, started the week positively with this development. Looking at the top 10 cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin and Ethereum (ETH) also joined the rally, rising 3% to above $3,850. BNB tested its all-time high of $825 following the news and surpassed Solana to become the fifth-largest cryptocurrency again. Gold steady, Europe on holdFollowing the developments, gold, considered a safe haven, traded flat at $3,335. European markets saw less activity. Major indices like the German DAX, the French CAC 40, and the Spanish IBEX 35 saw no significant change. However, Italy's FTSE MIB rose 0.3%, and Sweden's OMXS30 rose 0.23%.Many EU leaders cautiously welcomed the agreement. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated that it was a significant development for the automotive sector, while the Dutch and French commented that "lower tariffs would be better." Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said that this agreement "prevents direct conflict across the Atlantic."

Former US President Donald Trump once again made headlines with his surprise visit to the Federal Reserve (Fed) building in Washington late last night. During the visit, Trump met with Fed Chair Jerome Powell, sharply criticizing not only the renovation costs of the historic building but also the Fed's monetary policy. He gave Powell a clear message, particularly regarding the need to lower interest rates: "Lower interest rates!"Billion-Dollar Renovation DebateThe visit coincided with the alleged renovation of the Fed building, reportedly exceeding $3.1 billion, being a hot topic. Trump called these expenses "unnecessarily inflated," while Powell stated that the figure was inaccurate and included another federal building. This frank exchange between the two took place in front of the press and escalated into a heated exchange when Trump declared, "I renovated a larger building for much less." Trump cited the "Old Post Office" as an example, accusing the Fed of waste. Main Agenda: Interest RatesHowever, Trump's main concern wasn't construction, but monetary policy. Amidst the renovation debate, he directly addressed the Fed Chair, saying, "Let's get this done, but more importantly, let's lower interest rates!" As the 2025 elections approach, Trump appears to be putting increasing pressure on Powell. According to Trump, the current interest rates of around 4.33% are too high and are hindering economic growth.Trump, particularly emphasizing the 1% interest rate target, argued that Powell was late, saying, "Everyone knows what the right thing is." It's reported that some advisors from Trump's team frequently echoed this rhetoric behind the scenes. Following his visit to the Fed, Trump also reported developments on Truth Social. Powell resists: Emphasis on Fed independenceDespite all this pressure, Jerome Powell refuses to allow any steps that would undermine the Fed's independence. While Trump doesn't appear to directly threaten this, he hints at the possibility of dismissing Powell by using the renovation costs as "legal grounds." However, removing a Fed Chair from office is not easy from a constitutional and legal perspective. Past US Supreme Court decisions demonstrate that the Fed must be insulated from political pressures.Economic and Political RisksExperts, however, note that Trump's push for interest rate cuts poses serious economic risks. With inflation still struggling to be brought under control, an aggressive interest rate cut could increase borrowing costs rather than lower them, potentially causing further economic volatility.Trump's emphasis on public debt is also noteworthy. He argues that interest rate cuts are necessary to reduce interest payments, which will exceed $1.1 trillion by 2024. However, Powell believes that maintaining interest rates at this level is more appropriate given current economic data.Lowering interest rates generally increases interest in risky assets, creating a positive environment for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Lower interest rates can lead investors to shift away from traditional financial instruments (e.g., bonds) and toward assets offering higher returns. At the same time, lower borrowing costs facilitate institutional investors' entry into the crypto market. Therefore, the Fed's decision to cut interest rates could be a bullish catalyst for many cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin.For now, Powell isn't backing down. Interest rates are expected to remain steady at the FOMC meeting in July. However, if economic indicators continue to trend positive in the fall, market expectations for a rate cut could strengthen further.

US Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell defied expectations with his speech at the Fed Banking Conference in Washington. Powell, who refrained from commenting on the interest rate policies or the economic outlook that markets were eyeing, this time took a completely different direction: financial regulation and competition among banks. This approach disappointed investors who had been expecting clearer signals from the markets and highlighted the Fed's period of silence.Emphasis on regulation over monetary policyPowell's speech was framed within the context of the "blackout" period implemented by the Fed ahead of its July 29-30 meeting. During this period, Fed officials are prohibited from commenting on interest rates or economic forecasts. However, markets were still hoping Powell would offer at least some insightful messages. However, the speech focused entirely on the regulatory framework and the global competitiveness of large banks.Powell described the Fed's structure as "dynamic and open to feedback," arguing that large banks should be able to compete more freely not only domestically but also internationally. Powell, who called for flexibility in capital regulations, implied the need for greater regulatory harmonization by stating, "Banks should be able to compete freely not only with each other, but also with non-bank financial institutions and their competitors in different countries."Calm prevails in crypto and traditional marketsPowell's speech did not directly mention crypto assets, and the impact of his statement was limited in both traditional financial markets and cryptocurrency markets. Leading cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum continued to trade within their pre-speech price ranges. Market data shows that Bitcoin continued to trade around $119,000 during the speech. Experts note that Powell's silence prevents extreme price movements in the markets and that stability has historically been maintained in crypto markets during Fed blackouts. This situation particularly reflects periods when speculation is reduced and investors await post-Fed statements for direction.Powell receives political supportOn the other hand, Powell's "calm" stance has received political support. In an interview with Fox Business, US Treasury Secretary Besent addressed the recent growing criticism of Powell, saying, “His term ends in May of next year. I don't see any reason for him to resign now. If he wants to stay, he should; if he wants to leave early, that's his decision.” Besent also stated that the Fed's non-monetary activities need to be reviewed and that, in this context, Powell has an opportunity to shape his legacy. These comments suggest that Powell's silence may point to a process not only focused on monetary policy but also redefining the Fed's broader structural responsibilities.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 0.3% on a monthly basis, while annual inflation reached 2.7%, compared to the forecast of 2.6%. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, increased to 2.9% year-over-year.Rising energy and food prices played a key role in the uptick. Following the data, expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut this year have weakened, with markets now pushing their projections to the fourth quarter of 2025. There is even growing speculation that rate hikes could be back on the table later this year.After the inflation data, the VIX index edged up slightly to 17.4, signaling a modest deterioration in risk sentiment.

The latest US inflation data generated widespread market buzz, and Bitcoin's price was not immune. The larger-than-expected increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in June prompted investors to reconsider their expectations for the Fed's interest rate policies. Bitcoin, however, experienced a brief pullback amid this uncertainty, but has recovered rapidly to stabilize around $117,000.US Inflation on the RiseAccording to data released by the US Department of Labor, the annual US CPI data rose to 2.7% in June. This rate is up from May's 2.4% and marks the highest annual increase since February. Monthly, the CPI increased by 0.3%, its sharpest increase in five months.Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, is also on an upward trend. In June, the core CPI reached 3% year-over-year and increased by 0.3% month-over-month. These developments, in particular, indicate that the new tariffs recently implemented by President Donald Trump's administration are beginning to impact consumer prices.What direction will the Fed's interest rate policy take?Markets have long been expecting the Fed to cut interest rates this year. However, these strong inflation data releases could prompt the US Federal Reserve to take a more cautious approach. Inflation running above the 2% target may require the Fed to maintain its hawkish stance.Bitcoin's reaction: A brief decline, followed by a recoveryFollowing the release of the inflation data, the BTC/USDT pair initially experienced a brief pullback. After testing $123,000 on the night of July 14, it fell to $116,000 following the data release. However, this decline was short-lived. As seen in the image, prices recovered towards noon on July 15, stabilizing around $117,000. According to some experts, the appeal of limited-supply assets like Bitcoin could increase, particularly if inflation becomes persistent due to structural reasons. Conversely, if the Fed signals a rate hike, a new wave of selling in risky assets could also emerge in the short term.In this period where macroeconomic developments are increasingly decisive, Bitcoin's direction will largely depend on the Fed's statements and new inflation data released in the coming months. While the $117,000 level currently stands as a stabilizing point, investors clearly need more dovish messaging to break out.With the release of US PPI and unemployment figures in the coming weeks, Bitcoin's price may see renewed momentum. However, increased volatility seems inevitable during this period.
