Let’s analyze the broader market sentiment and latest insights together.As highlighted in previous articles, Bitcoin continues to demonstrate strong upward momentum, reaching new all-time highs. As we start the new week, another ATH has been confirmed. That said, the potential for further records and even higher levels remains significant.On the Ethereum side, the rally has outpaced that of Bitcoin. For instance, while BTC gains 10%, ETH can move by around 20%. The current resistance at $3,072 represents a strong selling zone. A breakout above this level could pave the way for a move toward $3,500. However, if the price faces rejection here, the $2,880 support level will be critical to watch closely.Crypto NewsWhite House Economic Advisor Hassett: Trump has the authority to fire Powell if there's a legitimate reason.Trump: The US will impose a 30% tax on the EU starting August 1.The Czech National Bank acquired Coinbase shares in the second quarter.Former Fed member Warsh said the Fed should cut interest rates immediately and that a change of Fed chair would be a good thing.CryptocurrenciesTop Gainers:M → Up 50.7% to $0.56798979MOG → Up 29.5% to $0.00000166ENA → Up 27.3% to $0.37180338SNEK → Up 27.1% to $0.00275231B → Up 24.4% to $0.46838309Top Losers:USELESS → Down 6.5% to $0.27971634ZBCN → Down 6.0% to $0.00344617TKX → Down 4.1% to $12.12VENOM → Down 0.7% to $0.22752356USDY → Down 0.5% to $1.09Fear Index:Bitcoin: 70 (Greed)Ethereum: 58 (Greed)Dominance:Bitcoin: 64.65% ▼ 0.03%Ethereum: 9.97% ▼ 0.21%Total Daily Net ETF Inflows:BTC ETFs: $1.03 BillionETH ETFs: $204.90 MillionGlobal MarketsWe begin the week amid rising tariff tensions between the U.S. and the EU. The U.S. has announced it will impose 30% tariffs on goods from the EU and Mexico starting August 1, prompting a retaliatory response from the EU; both developments weighing heavily on global markets. Adding to the uncertainty, the U.S. administration’s calls for Fed Chair Powell’s resignation and threats of dismissal have further increased market stress. This week, investors will closely monitor U.S. inflation data, U.S.–EU trade negotiations, and signals from the ongoing earnings season. The VIX volatility index, which remained subdued throughout most of last week, edged higher on Friday in response to the tariff news but still closed the week lower. This indicates that, for now, market risk perception remains relatively contained.Most Valuable Companies and Stock PricesNVIDIA (NVDA) → $4.02 trillion market capitalization, $164.92 per share, up 0.50%Microsoft (MSFT) → $3.74 trillion market capitalization, $503.32 per share, up 0.37%Apple (AAPL) → $3.15 trillion market capitalization, $211.16 per share, down 0.59%Amazon (AMZN) → $2.39 trillion market capitalization, $225.02 per share, up 1.24%Alphabet (GOOG) → $2.19 trillion market capitalization, $181.31 per share, up 1.46%Borsa IstanbulThe domestic current account deficit fell below expectations at $0.7 billion in May.

MOVE Comments and Price Analysis July 10, 2025
Move Technical Analysis$8 million MOVE has been unlocked today, which raises concerns as to whether it will have an effect on the price. This unlock was realized when the price was trading at a key support area. As a result, it is important to read the analysis below. MOVE signaled a strong price recovery to the level of $0.20 recently, yet this momentum could not carry on and the price was rejected from the resistance zone which intersected the downtrend. The price is again at the $0.1453 support and trying to hold at the lower boundary of the trend, and this zone previously worked as a strong support. However, the current price poses a risk of sell pressure as it is below MA50 and MA200 along with a death cross.The price may pull back to the support $0.1346 if this sell pressure goes on. This level is of great importance for the price. If broken downwards, the sell pressure is likely to increase, and then the price may go down to the levels $0.1200 and $0.1050 respectively. In terms of upward movements, $0.1560 would be the first resistance level the price will face. If broken upwards, the price may go up and test $0.1666 again. However, the price must close above $0.18 if the trend should change permanently.These analyses, not offering any kind of investment advice, focus on support and resistance levels considered to offer trading opportunities in the short and medium term according to the market conditions. However, the user is responsible for their own actions and risk management. Moreover, it is highly recommended to use stop loss (SL) during the transactions.

Let’s analyze the broader market sentiment and latest insights together.We can say that Bitcoin crowned its ongoing volume trend with a new all-time high. After breaking out of the previous trend, BTC decisively surpassed key resistance levels and reached a record high of $111,999, followed by a natural pullback. This movement successfully met the previously highlighted $111,800 target. Going forward, as long as Bitcoin holds above the $109,600 level, the positive sentiment is likely to persist. The next target lies in the $114,000 region.Following Bitcoin’s lead, Ethereum continues to push through major resistance levels. Holding above $2,700 would support this bullish outlook. If the $2,880 resistance is broken, the $3,000 zone will be the next target.Crypto NewsTrump announces 50% tariffs on BrazilCoinbase to list SKY and USDSThe SEC postponed in-kind refunds for the BlackRock Spot Ethereum ETFThe SEC approved in-kind redemptions for the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF Trust and Bitwise Ethereum ETFCircle enters into a USDC revenue-sharing agreement with ByBit, the second-largest crypto exchangeNvidia plans to launch a new AI chip specifically designed for China in SeptemberTrump: “Lower the interest rate.”Ripple will hold its $500 million reserve of $RLUSD crypto stablecoin with BNY MellonNvidia becomes the first company to reach a $4 trillion market capitalizationTrade Advisor Navarro: The Fed needs to lower interest rates in JulyCryptocurrenciesTop Gainers:M → Up 69.5% to $0.35883003PENGU → Up 23.9% to $0.01821681BANANAS31 → Up 22.5% to $0.02508994ZBCN → Up 20.8% to $0.00359288USELESS → Up 17.2% to $0.30264032Top Losers:TKX → Down 10.1% to $12.70VENOM → Down 2.1% to $0.22408004GRASS → Down 1.6% to $1.15MX → Down 1.3% to $2.41LEO → Down 1.2% to $8.99Fear Index:Bitcoin: 68 (Greed)Ethereum: 56 (Greed)Dominance:Bitcoin: 64.77% ▲ 0.02%Ethereum: 9.77% ▼ 0.09%Total Daily Net ETF Inflows:BTC ETFs: $215.70 MillionETH ETFs: $211.30 MillionGlobal MarketsWhile the Fed minutes reveal ongoing disagreements among members regarding interest rate cuts and inflation, U.S. President Trump has intensified his calls for a rate cut, this time proposing a reduction of up to 300 basis points.The tariff agenda has also regained momentum.

The VIX index fell by 0.9 points yesterday to 15.9, signaling a sustained recovery in risk appetite.In the Fed minutes, members expressed differing views on whether the inflationary effects of tariffs would be transitory or persistent.

Daily Market Summary with JrKripto July 9, 2025
You can find today’s edition of “Daily Market with JrKripto” below, featuring a roundup of the most important developments from both global and local markets. Let’s analyze the broader market sentiment and latest insights together.Bitcoin, which has maintained its volatility since last week, continued its upward trend over the weekend, closing on Sunday, expected to be stable, at $109,200. The $108,900 resistance level is a key threshold at this point. As long as the price remains above this level, it will aim to break above the $110,600 high. However, as seen yesterday, it failed to hold above the $108,900 resistance level and retreated to the $107,300 support level. For now, we can say it has found support in this region. A loss of this support could push the price to the $106,300 support level and then to the $104,900 support level. In an upside scenario, if the $111,920 high is broken, the first targets after the new ATH will be $114,000 and $120,000.Ethereum, following Bitcoin's lead, finished last week with a surge in volume. Looking at ETH from a broader perspective, we observe that it continues to trade within a range. The $2,465 level plays a key role in this. After last week's significant surge, the price holding above this level is a positive sign. It is also trading in a critical area in the short term. The $2,595–$2,550 area represents a broad resistance area. We have reached the $2,600 target we outlined in previous newsletters. However, if this level is breached, the price could rise to the $2,700 region.Crypto NewsTrump: Lower interest rates, Jerome, now is the time!The US House of Representatives announced that it is "taking historic steps to ensure the United States remains the crypto capital."Truth Social filed an S-1 for its Crypto Blue Chip ETF.Robinhood has begun discussions with regulators regarding tokenized stocks.CryptocurrenciesTop Gainers:BANANAS31 → Up 31.2% to $0.02028966MOG → Up 17.0% to $0.00000113ZBCN → Up 16.9% to $0.00299969CRO → Up 15.1% to $0.09309514SPX → Up 13.4% to $1.41Top Losers:TKX → Down 11.6% to $13.95BONK → Down 7.1% to $0.00002186IP → Down 3.3% to $3.01SYRUP → Down 2.1% to $0.50968788FARTCOIN → Down 2.0% to $1.06Fear Index:Bitcoin: 67 (Greed)Ethereum: 59 (Greed)Dominance:Bitcoin: 65.01% ▼ 0.09%Ethereum: 9.46% ▼ 0.24%Total Daily Net ETF InflowsBTC ETFs: $75.30 MillionETH ETFs: $29.50 MillionGlobal MarketsGlobal risk appetite is balanced.

However, it is thought that this process is still subject to negotiation and new exemptions may be introduced. US futures are trading sideways this morning. With the tariff extension extended, markets focused on negotiations. The VIX index fell 1 point to 16.8, indicating a recovery in risk appetite.

Watch Out for July 22: Cryptocurrency Report to be Presented in the US
The US is preparing to take another important step towards its goal of becoming a global leader in cryptocurrencies. The Trump administration is continuing its work on a new “Digital Asset Report” expected to be presented on July 22. This comprehensive report will include recommendations and regulations that will shape US policies on cryptocurrencies.This development comes after US President Donald Trump signed an executive order in January that aims to strengthen America’s position in the crypto industry. The administration’s ultimate goal is to make the US a global hub for cryptocurrencies.Bitcoin reserve on the agenda: Funding can be provided without increasing tax burdenOne of the most striking headlines of the report is America’s plan to create a strategic Bitcoin reserve. According to industry sources, alternative funding methods that will not impose an additional burden on taxpayers are proposed for the financing of this reserve. Although this plan has not yet been finalized, it is expected that the US government’s influence on cryptocurrencies will increase if it is implemented.If this reserve plan is formalized, America’s leadership in the crypto market will be further consolidated and a strong national asset base will be created in the digital economy. A new era may begin in the US's crypto policies.National framework for cryptocurrenciesThe report being prepared is not limited to the Bitcoin reserve. With the proposal of the US Congress, the establishment of a federal digital asset regulatory framework for stablecoins is also on the agenda. In addition, it is suggested that steps be taken to ensure that crypto companies receive equal service from banking institutions such as the Federal Reserve. This approach aims to reduce discrimination against crypto companies in the financial system and provide more equitable access to the sector.Statement from the CFTC Chair: "Crypto roadmap"Caroline Pham, Interim Chair of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), defined the report in question as a "cryptocurrency roadmap". The report is expected to include new legal and regulatory proposals, as well as the steps taken by federal institutions for digital assets to date. The idea of a national digital asset reserve, announced by Trump in March, will also be one of the focal points of the report.The timing of the proposals to be included in the report is also noteworthy. The Trump administration has declared the week of July 14 as “Crypto Week.” Within this scope, crypto regulation bills will be discussed in the House of Representatives. Experts state that this report can be used as a critical policy tool in Trump’s upcoming election process. In general, we can say that there has been positive news about cryptocurrencies from the US recently. As we have previously reported, two US institutions will hold important hearings on cryptocurrencies on July 9, tomorrow. The House of Representatives will hold a hearing titled “Making America the Crypto Capital of the World: Ensuring Digital Asset Policy Fit for the 21st Century.” The Senate will hold a hearing titled “Building Tomorrow’s Digital Asset Markets.” In particular, providing legal clarity for Bitcoin and altcoins is very valuable for the sector.
Daily Market Summary with JrKripto July 8, 2025
You can find today’s edition of “Daily Market with JrKripto” below, featuring a roundup of the most important developments from both global and local markets. Let’s analyze the broader market sentiment and latest insights together.Bitcoin maintained its strong volume structure since last week and ended Sunday steadily around $109,200. The $108,900 level stands out as a key resistance threshold. As long as the price holds above this level, it will aim to surpass the $110,600 peak. However, as seen yesterday, Bitcoin failed to stay above the $108,900 resistance and pulled back to the $107,300 support level. For now, it seems to have found support in this zone. If this support is lost, the price could decline first to $106,300 and then to the $104,900 support. On the upside, if the $111,920 peak is broken, the next targets following a new ATH would be $114,000 and $120,000.Ethereum mirrored Bitcoin’s trend, closing last week with rising volume. From a broader perspective, ETH continues to trade within a range. The $2,465 level plays a pivotal role here. Following last week’s notable price increase, it is a positive sign that ETH is holding above this level. In the short term, it is trading within a critical zone. The $2,595–$2,550 range forms a wide resistance area. The $2,600 target we previously highlighted has been reached. Should ETH break above this resistance, the price may rise toward the $2,700 region.Crypto NewsWhite House Official: Tariffs will not increase.TON Foundation Seeks New Vice President of Marketing After Reactions from "Fake" Partnerships.SEC Accepts Truth Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF Application.SEC Postpones Fidelity Spot SOL ETF Application.Leavitt: Trump will sign a presidential decree postponing the July tariff deadline to August 1.Spain's second-largest bank, BBVA, has launched a Bitcoin and Ethereum trading and custody service via its mobile app.CryptocurrenciesTop Gainers:M → Increased by 89.8% to $0.18881367HNT → Increased by 5.2% to $2.41GLM → Increased by 3.5% to $0.23439222MOCA → Increased by 3.4% to $0.07157369BONK → Increased by 3.3% to $0.00002287Top Losers:USELESS → Declined by 13.4% to $0.242857B → Declined by 11.3% to $0.35661965PLUME → Declined by 10.7% to $0.10422101SPX → Declined by 8.2% to $1.23SYRUP → Declined by 7.6%, it fell to $0.51531127Fear Index:Bitcoin: 68 (Greed)Ethereum: 50 (Neutral)Dominance:Bitcoin: 65.31% ▲ 0.04%Ethereum: 9.30% ▼ 0.08%Global MarketsThe US announced that it has imposed new customs duties of 25–40% on 14 countries.

Daily Market Summary with JrKripto July 7, 2025
You can find today’s edition of “Daily Market with JrKripto” below, featuring a roundup of the most important developments from both global and local markets. Let’s analyze the broader market sentiment and latest insights together.Bitcoin continued its high-volume structure from last week into the weekend, closing the stable Sunday with an increase at the $109,200 level. BTC, which experienced a strong upward breakout from the downtrend that began in May, is now consolidating above this structure. The $108,900 resistance level is a key threshold at this point. As long as the price stays above this level, it will aim to break through the $110,600 peak. In case of pullbacks, the $108,900 level we mentioned earlier, followed by the trend support we saw at the average $108,000 point, could keep the price in this region. In an upward scenario, if the $111,920 peak is surpassed, the first targets after the new ATH will be the $114,000 and $120,000 levels.Ethereum also followed Bitcoin, closing the week with a volume-driven rise. When we look at ETH from a broader perspective, we observe that it continues to trade within the range. The $2,465 level plays a key role at this point. After last week's significant rise, it is positive that the price remains above this level. It is also trading in a critical area in the short term. The $2,595–$2,550 area stands out as a broad resistance area. We have reached the $2,600 target we gave in previous bulletins. However, if this region is breached, the price could rise as high as the $2,700 region.Crypto NewsAuthorities have announced that there is no golden visa for digital currency investors in the UAE.White House Economic Advisor Hassett stated that the likelihood of a recession is zero.Kazakhstan plans to establish a Bitcoin and crypto reserve.Toncoin has partnered with the UAE and started offering 10-year golden visas to TON stakers.A Bitcoin whale that has been dormant since 2011 moved 60,000 BTC today.

Daily Market Summary with JrKripto 4 July 2025
You can find today’s edition of “Daily Market with JrKripto” below, featuring a roundup of the most important developments from both global and local markets. Let’s analyze the broader market sentiment and latest insights together.Bitcoin continues its high-volume structure that it has maintained for several days. The downward trend it started in May experienced a strong upward breakout and then successfully retested the $108,500 level. As we mentioned in yesterday's bulletin, the $110,600 and $111,920 levels are currently short-term targets. Our $110,600 target has been achieved. The next target is $111,920, which is noteworthy as it represents the highest point BTC has reached. If a new all-time high (ATH) is achieved, the $114,000 and $120,000 levels will be closely monitored. In the event of a pullback, the trend zone — the $108,000 area — will be the first area to react. Below that, the $107,100 level will come into focus.Ethereum is currently trading in the middle of the narrowing triangle pattern we observed when looking at the broader picture. Staying above the $2,420 level was important in the short term. It has now returned to the previous range. As with Bitcoin, volume remains high here, and a rise toward the recently tested $2,680 and $2,900 levels can be expected. In pullbacks, the $2,275–$2,400 support range will be monitored.Crypto NewsThe US House of Representatives declared July 14–18 as “Crypto Week.”Tether minted $1 billion worth of USDT.The SPK imposed an access ban on PancakeSwap on the grounds that it was conducting unauthorized crypto asset service provider activities.The US House of Representatives approved Trump’s “Big and Beautiful Plan.”Ondo Finance and Pantera Capital allocated $250 million to RWA tokenization.US Treasury Secretary Bessent: US Trade Representative Greer will hold talks with the EU over the weekend.U.S. Senator Lummis introduced a bill that would exempt crypto transactions under $300 from taxation.CryptocurrenciesTop Gainers:TOSHI → +7.4% → $0.00050795PLUME → +4.3% → $0.1076886ZEC → +3.7% → $40.79AMP → +2.5% → $0.00351222AKT → +2.2% → $1.11Top Losers:KTA → –15.0% → $0.58735564USELESS → –11.2% → $0.22904396MOG → –9.2% → $0.09954781AIOZ → –9.0% → $0.3033793BRETT → –9.0% → $0.04279332Fear Index:Bitcoin: 71 (Greed)Ethereum: 57 (Greed)Dominance:Bitcoin: 65.30% ▲ 0.04%Ethereum: 9.35% ▼ 0.18%Daily Total Net ETF InflowsBTC ETFs: $601.80 millionETH ETFs: $148.50 millionGlobal MarketsFollowing yesterday’s strong non-farm payrolls data, the likelihood of a July interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve — which had been increasingly expected in recent days — has diminished. As of this morning, the total amount of rate cuts priced in by year-end has decreased from 65 basis points to 53 basis points. Despite downside risks to growth from high tariff policies and global volatility, robust employment figures signal resilience in the U.S. economy, thereby supporting risk appetite.

Eyes on the Fed After US Employment Data: Expectations for Interest Rate Cuts Weaken
The June non-farm payroll and unemployment rate data released in the US at 3:30 p.m. Turkish time triggered significant price movements in the markets. The higher-than-expected employment data and falling unemployment rate dampened investors' hopes that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) would cut interest rates in July. The latest data reinforced expectations that the Fed will continue its “wait-and-see” policy on interest rate decisions.Employment data exceeded expectationsAccording to data released by the US Department of Labor, non-farm employment increased by 147,000 in June. This figure far exceeded economists' expectations of 111,000. The previous month's figure was recorded as 139,000. During the same period, the unemployment rate fell to 4.1%, compared to the 4.3% expectation. This improvement demonstrated that the US labor market is still strong. Source: CME FedWatch Following the release of the data, expectations in the futures markets that the Fed would cut interest rates at its July meeting fell sharply. Futures contracts tracked by CME FedWatch priced the likelihood of an interest rate cut at the end of July at just 4.7%. This rate had risen to 25% in recent weeks.Powell's cautious statements had an impactAs we reported earlier, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell emphasized in a speech at a forum organized by the European Central Bank earlier this week that the possibility of an interest rate cut in July had not completely disappeared, but that the decision would depend on “incoming data.” However, the strong employment figures indicate that there is no urgency for the Fed to cut interest rates.Powell stated that they need time to assess the effects of the new tariffs that the Trump administration plans to implement and that they want to see inflation decline permanently. When evaluated together with the employment data, these statements indicate that the Fed will maintain its cautious stance.The view that interest rates will remain unchanged in July prevails in the marketsAccording to data from the crypto market prediction platform Polymarket, the probability of interest rates remaining unchanged at the FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) meeting on July 30 has risen to 94%. This data indicates that investors have largely abandoned their positions in favor of interest rate cuts.Investors had been thinking for some time that the Fed might bow to Trump's political pressure and cut interest rates if employment weakened. However, the strong picture seen on the employment front suggests that such a move will be postponed for now.As a result, the fact that the non-farm payrolls data, one of the most important indicators of the US economy, exceeded expectations has significantly weakened the likelihood of an interest rate cut in July. As Powell also pointed out, the Fed is not expected to make a hasty move. On the contrary, current economic indicators provide a strong basis for keeping interest rates unchanged. The data released ahead of the FOMC meeting at the end of July will be decisive in determining the sustainability of this strategy.

According to inflation data released today for June, the CPI rose 1.64% month‑on‑month, with annual inflation reaching 35.05%. The data came in slightly below the market expectation of 35.2%. The lower-than-expected inflation supports the upward trend in the BIST, particularly in interest rate‑sensitive sectors.According to provisional data from the Ministry of Trade, exports increased by 8% year‑on‑year to $20.5 billion in June, while imports increased by 15.3% to $28.7 billion. As a result, the trade deficit increased by $2.3 billion year‑on‑year to $8.2 billion. The total deficit for the first half of the year was $49.4 billion, while the 12‑month cumulative deficit was $89.2 billion. This indicates that the deterioration in the trade balance continues.Following a nearly 30% rise in the banking index over the past month, the likelihood of a stock shift has increased, while the CDS remaining at 280 basis points may limit the upward movement in the index.

Daily Market Summary with JrKripto 2 July 2025
You can find today’s edition of “Daily Market with JrKripto” below, featuring a roundup of the most important developments from both global and local markets. Let’s analyze the broader market sentiment and latest insights together.Bitcoin tested the $108,860 level over the weekend with strong volume, marking a sharp contrast to the recent downward trend. This area represents the intersection of both descending trendline resistance and horizontal resistance. After facing rejection at this level, BTC pulled back to the $105,000–$106,600 support zone, from which it has since rebounded. The price is currently hovering around $107,300. A daily close above $108,800 could pave the way toward a new all-time high (ATH). On the downside, if the $106,600 support fails to hold, attention will shift to the $104,900 level as the next key support.Ethereum also saw a notable rally over the weekend. After breaking through the $2,465 resistance on strong volume, it climbed toward the $2,525 resistance level.

Daily Market Summary with JrKripto 1 July 2025
You can find today’s edition of “Daily Market with JrKripto” below, featuring a roundup of the most important developments from both global and local markets. Let’s analyze the broader market sentiment and latest insights together.Bitcoin tested the $108,860 level over the weekend with strong volume, marking a notable move contrary to the downward trend observed in recent weeks. This zone represents the intersection of both descending trendline resistance and horizontal resistance. Should the trend continue, BTC will encounter support in the $106,600–$107,200 range. A daily close above $108,800 could pave the way toward a new all-time high (ATH). Conversely, if the $106,600 support level is breached, attention will shift to the $104,900 level as the next key area.Ethereum also saw a notable rally over the weekend. After breaking above the $2,465 resistance with strong volume, ETH extended its move to the $2,525 resistance level. However, this area has acted as a barrier, with multiple rejections observed over the past week. A decisive breakout above $2,525 could open the path to the $2,600 level. In the event of a pullback, $2,465 is expected to act as strong support. If this level fails to hold, the $2,370–$2,400 zone will be closely monitored.Crypto NewsThe SEC has delayed staking for the BITWISE Spot ETH ETF.The EU will accept Trump's universal customs duty but will demand some important exemptions.The White House announced that Trump sent a handwritten note to Fed Chairman Powell asking him to lower interest rates.Goldman Sachs moved the Fed's interest rate cut from December to September.REX‑OSPREY’s staking‑enabled Solana ETF will begin trading on Wednesday, the CEO announced.Advent purchased $1 billion worth of shares from LayerZero (#ZRO) to support the expansion of artificial intelligence data centers.U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent: The stablecoin law will be ready by mid‑July.

Fed Chair Powell Speaks: Critical “Interest Rate Cut” Messages Delivered
Signs of a slowdown in the US labor market began to be felt more clearly in June. According to economists' expectations, it is estimated that 110,000 jobs were created in the country in June. This figure falls short of the 139,000 increase in May, while the unemployment rate is expected to rise from 4.2% to 4.3%. This rate will mark the highest level since October 2021.Although this weakening in employment does not directly indicate a crisis, there are increasing signs of a “gradual cooling” in the job market. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell also confirmed this picture in his speech, which began at 4:30 p.m. today. Powell: Interest rate cuts may come this yearFed Chairman Powell stated in his speech that the overall outlook for the US economy is good and that inflation continues to decline. However, the key point was the uncertainty surrounding trade policies and the impact of tariffs on monetary policy.Powell said, “The US economy is in good shape and inflation continues to decline. If we set tariffs aside, we can say that inflation is moving in the direction we targeted.”Even more striking were his comments on interest rate policy. When asked, “Would you have cut rates if there were no tariffs?” Powell replied, “Yes, we would have.” He also defended the Fed's cautious stance, saying, “When the tariff discussions began, we thought it was right to wait.”Powell also noted that the majority of FOMC members believe that an interest rate cut would be appropriate toward the end of this year, adding that no meeting is “off the table” in terms of interest rate cuts and that decisions will be shaped by incoming data.When asked, “Is an interest rate cut in July too early?” Powell avoided giving a direct answer, saying, "I can't say whether July is too early for an interest rate cut. I am not taking any meeting off the agenda."S&P manufacturing data exceeded expectationsWhile cooling in the labor market and expectations of interest rate cuts remained on the agenda, the latest PMI data from the US continued to produce mixed signals for the economy. The Manufacturing PMI data released by S&P Global rose from 52.0 in June to 52.9, exceeding expectations. This data points to expansion in the manufacturing sector, but when read alongside employment data, it paints an uneven but resilient economic picture.Uncertainty persistsJune data points to a controlled slowdown rather than a rapid contraction in the labor market. On the Fed front, the idea of interest rate cuts is now being voiced more loudly. In particular, Powell's statements clearly expressing the impact of tariffs on monetary policy have brought the possibility of an interest rate cut in the fall seriously to the fore.The official non-farm payroll data to be released on Thursday will play a critical role in the trajectory of this process. Markets are preparing to make new price adjustments based on the Fed's “data-dependent” stance.
