“Thanks to Potus, the world came to the United States, and China was the missing play – we will meet on Saturday and Sunday to discuss our common interests. Current prices and commercial barriers are not durable, but we do not want to decoup. What we want is a fair trade,” said Bessent.

Meanwhile, the activity of the Fed’s balance sheet this week raises the eyebrows. On May 6, the Fed bought $ 14.8 billion in cash tickets at 10 years, following a purchase of $ 20 billion in 3 -year tickets on May 5, totaling $ 34.8 billion in two days.
“The Fed bought obligations of $ 14.8 billion today.
Without an official announcement, these purchases suggest that the Fed quietly injects liquidity into a subtle quantitative relief movement.
Arthur Hayes, former CEO of Bitmex, considers a quarter of work as a little optimistic for the crypto. In a recent column, Hayes argued that Bitcoin was worth $ 250,000 by the end of 2025 if the Fed restarted QE. He sees the liquidity of the Fed move as the beginning of this process.
Beincryptto also explored the chances that the return of the QE and its implications. Any fresh qe wave could reduce real yields, devalue the Fiat and potentially lead to significant entries in cryptographic assets.
However, not everyone is convinced that QE is necessary. In a counterpoint report, macro-experts argue that quantitative relaxation is not necessary in the middle of the current agitation on the market. They argue that the financial system has not yet shown signs of systemic distress.
Meanwhile, gold has reached almost recorded heights of $ 3,437.60 per 28.84% year, reflecting the discomfort of investors.

Investors are preparing for clarity or new ambiguity while the president of the Fed, Jerome Powell, is preparing to address the markets later during the day. The brief Bitcoin rally above $ 97,000 Signals Optimism, but the wider market of cryptography can remain linked to the beach until the Fed shows its cards.
Bitcoin could soon be supported over the $ 97,000 threshold if Powell reports a subtle pivot. Otherwise, traders can be faced with greater volatility.
