Odaily星球日报讯 美联储巴尔金表示，他正在采取“试错”的方式降息，这表明他可能会支持降息 25 个基点，而不是一些分析师认为的降息的 50 个基点。他指出，通胀率仍然比美联储 2%的目标高出半个百分点，而降息最终可能会通过提振住房和其他物品的需求来助长通胀。（金十）

美联储巴尔金暗示：9月有可能降息25个基点

Odaily Odaily News: Fed Chairman Barkin said he is taking a &quot;trial and error&quot; approach to rate cuts, suggesting he may support a 25 basis point cut, rather than the 50 basis point cut some analysts believe. He noted that inflation is still half a percentage point higher than the Fed&#39;s 2% target, and that rate cuts could eventually fuel inflation by boosting demand for housing and other items.

Fed's Barkin hints at 25 basis point rate cut in September

According to a report by NatWest Markets analysts, confidence in the prospect of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates has increased, and expectations of a soft landing for the US economy are facing increasing resistance to the US dollar's rise. They stated that unless US data surprises and expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts are delayed, this situation appears to be more persistent. NatWest Markets expects the Federal Reserve to cut rates by 150 basis points this year, nearly 50 basis points higher than priced in the money market. The analysts at the institution stated: "It is still a story about 'how much' to cut rates next month, not 'whether' to cut rates."

NatWest Markets: The US dollar will be weak as the Fed is about to cut interest rates

Bitcoin price reached $65,000 for the first time in about three weeks, thanks to the market's renewed demand for US Bitcoin spot ETFs. There are signs that the Federal Reserve will ease its monetary policy. On Monday, Bitcoin rose 1.2% to $65,030, before retreating to around $64,000. Last week, Bitcoin rose 7.4%, the highest weekly gain since mid-July.

Federal Reserve Chairman Powell said on Friday that the time for policy adjustment has arrived, and that he does not seek or welcome further cooling of the labor market, and is more confident in the return of inflation to 2%. The Wall Street Journal reported that Powell has issued the strongest signal for rate cuts to date, indicating that the Federal Reserve intends to take action to prevent further weakening of the US labor market. This also suggests that the global market's liquidity backdrop will become more favorable.

Data shows that Powell's signal has stimulated a net inflow of $2.52 into US spot Bitcoin ETFs, the highest level in over a month. These funds have attracted capital inflows for 7 consecutive days.

Cici Lu McCalman, founder of blockchain consulting firm Venn Link Partners, said, "All eyes are on the Federal Reserve." He added that a rate cut in September could boost Bitcoin.
