Economic Data Changes the Balances: While Bitcoin Drops, Nasdaq Hits a Peak!
Following the latest economic data from the U.S., Nasdaq is hitting new records while the prices of Bitcoin and gold continue to be under pressure.
The latest macroeconomic data from the U.S. unexpectedly moved the markets. The core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) index for May rose by 0.2%, above expectations. This situation pushed investors to be cautious again, as it is a closely monitored inflation indicator by the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed). The decline in personal income and spending indicated a slowdown in the economy.
After the data, the Nasdaq 100 index reached a new record level. However, the price of gold, seen as a traditional safe haven, fell by 2% and is trading about 7% below its all-time high. Bitcoin (BTC) experienced a slight decline to around $106,700 after the data, continuing its movement in a tight band between $102,000 and $108,000.
The risk of stagflation is increasing
The point that has raised more concerns in the markets is the strengthening views that the economy is heading towards stagflation. Well-known gold investor and Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff stated, "Investors continue to sell gold even after weak economic data and unexpectedly high inflation. The decline in the dollar's value and expectations of stagflation are actually positive for gold," evaluating the current situation.
In this environment of uncertainty in the markets, investors are expected to maintain a cautious stance, especially in assets like Bitcoin and gold.
Stay tuned for new developments.
