Market News: Bitcoin and Gold Are Falling Together — The Rate-Hike Trade Is Hitting Every Hedge at Once
Binance News - Bitcoin and gold are doing something they rarely do — declining in lockstep. Bitcoin was trading at $61,233 on Wednesday, down 3% over 24 hours and nearly 7% on the week, while gold fell 2% to below $4,200 an ounce. Both assets share the same fundamental vulnerability in the current environment: they pay no yield, and a market pricing in higher interest rates punishes everything that doesn't. Now updated with the CPI result May CPI landed at 4.2% year-over-year — exactly in line with consensus — with monthly headline at 0.5%, also matching forecasts. The critical number was core CPI, which came in at 0.2% monthly against a 0.3% forecast — a genuine beat that suggests inflation remains concentrated in energy rather than ...
Why The CLARITY Act Will Not Pass On July 4
Benzinga - The White House certainly set a July 4, 2026 target for the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act. I think this deadline remains purely aspirational. The political calendar simply does not support such an aggressive timeline. A late-summer or early-autumn passage makes far more sense. The most glaring obstacle blocking a July 4 victory lap involves a severely shrinking Senate calendar. Lawmakers face a massive bottleneck regarding floor time before they leave for their August recess. The Senate already burned through crucial days reauthorizing Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act after a failed procedural vote on June 5. Members must now dedicate significant floor hours to debating military authorization concerning ...
