4E: U.S. November PPI inflation exceeded expectations, all three major U.S. stock indices fell, and the DeFi sector of the cryptocurrency market strengthened
ChainCatcher news, the latest data shows that the U.S. November PPI rose more than expected, with a month-on-month increase reaching the largest in seven months, indicating rising inflation. The market expects a 25 basis point rate cut next week, but bets on a pause in rate cuts in January next year.According to 4E monitoring, the market has fully priced in the expectation of a rate cut in December, but the latest data has increased uncertainty about the Fed's rate cut prospects for next year. The three major U.S. stock indexes all fell, with the Dow Jones down 0.53% for six consecutive days, the S&P 500 down 0.54%, and the Nasdaq down 0.66%. Large tech stocks failed to maintain the momentum from earlier this week, with Nvidia down 1.41%, Tesla down 1.57%, and crypto-related stock MSTR down 4.67%, while Coinbase fell 0.27%.The crypto market surged and then retreated. When Trump rang the opening bell at the NYSE, he stated that he would do great things in the cryptocurrency space, briefly pushing Bitcoin above $102,000. However, it later fell back below $100,000 due to the drag from U.S. stocks, causing a collective retreat in the crypto market. The DeFi sector showed strong performance, driven by the Trump family project WLFI purchasing ETH, AAVE, and LINK, leading to a broad rise in DeFi tokens. Currently, WLFI holds approximately $74.9 million worth of cryptocurrencies, with the largest holding being ETH, which the market views as the Trump family's optimistic outlook on Ethereum's potential and an early layout of their crypto strategy.In the forex and commodities sector, the inflation data boosted the dollar index by 0.31%, marking the fifth consecutive day of gains; the International Energy Agency (IEA) predicted a supply surplus next year, offsetting the optimistic sentiment around rate cuts and dragging down U.S. and Brent crude oil prices; the strengthening dollar put pressure on gold, and the strong PPI data further diminished gold's appeal as a safe haven, causing gold to plummet, with the London spot gold price falling by 1.33%.eeee.com is a financial trading platform that supports assets such as cryptocurrencies, stock indices, bulk gold, and forex.
