The post British Pound Sterling stages a jailbreak while Westminster arranges a coronation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Cable adds roughly a tenth of a percent on Thursday, changing hands a whisker above 1.3400 and poking through the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) for the first time since mid-June. The setting makes the move notable: the United States traded overnight strikes with Iran for a second consecutive day, Crude Oil carries a war premium, and Federal Reserve (Fed) speakers spent the session sounding hawkish. None of it bought the Dollar anything against the Pound. Washington supplies hawks and airstrikes, and the Dollar shrugs Thursday’s American docket gave Dollar bulls usable material, starting with Initial Jobless Claims printing 215K at 12:30 GMT against a 218K consensus and a 217K prior. A voting Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) member delivered remarks rated firmly hawkish at 13:00 GMT, another policymaker speaks at 17:30 GMT, and Existing Home Sale

The post Australian Dollar firms as US Dollar softens appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. AUD/USD trades higher near the 0.6940 area on Thursday, as the Australian Dollar (AUD) benefits from a softer US Dollar (USD), even after stronger-than-expected United States (US) jobless claims data showed that the labor market remains stable. US Initial Jobless Claims fell to 215K, below expectations of 218K and the previous 217K, suggesting that layoffs remain limited. However, the Greenback failed to gain strong traction as the broader US Dollar Index (DXY) slipped for a second straight session, while markets continued to assess geopolitical risks and the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) policy outlook. China also remains a key driver for the Aussie, given Australia’s strong trade exposure. China’s Producer Price Index (CPI) report, released late Wednesday, showed a 4.1% YoY rise in June, the fastest pace in four years, while China’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) slowed to 1% YoY, highlighting stronger f

The post US Dollar: Tariff passthrough keeps inflation pressure alive – BNY appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BNY’s Geoff Yu reports that the New York Fed’s latest Liberty Street Economics analysis warns many United States (US) firms still plan tariff-related price increases, implying persistent inflation pressures that matter for the US Dollar (USD) and Federal Reserve (Fed) policy. Nearly half of tariff-paying companies expect further hikes, with gradual pricing and fixed contracts extending adjustment and complicating disinflation. Tariffs extend U.S. inflation timeline “The New York Fed said in its July 8 Liberty Street Economics post that more tariff passthrough still lies ahead for many U.S. firms. Drawing on regional business surveys, the institution reported that nearly half of firms that pay tariffs directly are still planning further price increases, with some expecting to raise prices six months or more from now.” “It said roughly 47% of service firms and 44% of manufactu

The post Australian Dollar rises as US Dollar softens, tensions in focus appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. AUD/USD trades around 0.6940 on Thursday at the time of writing, up 0.16% on the day, as the weaker US Dollar (USD) supports the pair despite persistent tensions in the Middle East. Investors continue to view the latest exchange of attacks between the United States (US) and Iran as an attempt by both sides to strengthen their negotiating positions ahead of a potential return to peace talks, limiting demand for safe-haven assets for now. The US Dollar remains under pressure on Thursday, with the US Dollar Index (DXY) down 0.11% near 100.95 at the time of press. The Greenback struggles to benefit from stronger-than-expected US economic data, as the US Department of Labor reported that Initial Jobless Claims fell to 215K in the week ending July 4, down from 217K previously, while Continuing Jobless Claims edged up slightly to 1.814M.

The post Supreme Court Crypto Regulation Expands Presidential Powers appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A landmark Supreme Court ruling that hands President Donald Trump sweeping new powers over independent federal agencies is now casting a long shadow over crypto regulation in the United States — and the timing could hardly be more consequential. Key takeaways The Supreme Court ruled 6–3 to expand the president’s authority to remove leaders of independent federal agencies, with the Federal Reserve as the sole exception. The SEC currently operates with three Republican commissioners, while the CFTC has only one: Chair Michael Selig. Experts warn that thinned-out commissions produce less durable rules that future administrations can more easily reverse. The Administrative Procedure Act still governs rulemaking, meaning rules passed by a single commissioner carry full legal force if the APA is followed. Trump’s financial disclosure revealed hundreds of billions of dollars in bitcoin an

United States (US) Initial Jobless Claims fell to 215K, below expectations of 218K and the previous revised 217K, while the four-week average eased to 218.75K from 222.5K. However, Continuing Jobless Claims rose slightly to 1.814 million from 1.806 million, suggesting that while layoffs remain limited, workers are still taking longer to find new jobs. The Greenback also remained supported after the FOMC Minutes showed that policymakers were divided on the inflation outlook, with some officials seeing a case for tighter policy if price pressure remains elevated. A few Fed officials reportedly saw a case for a rate hike at the June meeting, reinforcing t
