Higher
chances
of
Trump
winning

means
trouble
for
the
China-sensitive
Australian
Dollar
(AUD)
in

The

ING’s

“Higher

“The
RBA
is
perhaps
facing
the
worst
inflation
issue
in
G10,
with
consistently
hot
monthly
CPI

taking
it
closer
to

31

2Q

if
they
surprise
on

we
think
the
RBA
will
hike
in
August.”
“Even
if
another
hike
can
be
averted,
the
prospect
of
cuts
is
increasingly
remote.
Given
our
view
that
markets
will
reward
currencies
with
hawkish
central
banks,
AUD
still
has
room
to
run
this
summer,
before
the
US

becomes
too
close

Arbitrum
(ARB)
trades
inside
a
descending
channel
pattern,
with
a
potential
breakout
poised
to
trigger
a
bullish
trend.
Recent
on-chain
data
indicates
accumulation
by
a
whale
on
Wednesday;
coupled
with
an
uptick
in
development
activity,
this
suggests
favorable
conditions
for
upcoming
bullish
movements.
According
to
Arkham

a
wallet
(which
may
belong
to
Bitcoin
Suisse,
a
Swiss
crypto
pioneer
and
trusted
gateway
company)
bought
2.38
million
ARB

worth
$1.69

Additionally,
this

bought
3.47

before,
worth
$2.44
million.
Wallet
Transactions
Arbitrum
price
is
retesting
its
upper
band
on
the
descending
channel
pattern.
This
pattern
is
formed
by
joining
multiple
swing
high
and
low
levels
with
a
trendline.
If
ARB
breaks
above
the
descending
channel
pattern,
it
could
rally
20%
to
retest
its
daily
resistance
level
of
$0.855.
This
level
roughly
coincides
with
the
50-day
Exponential

Average
at
$0.882,
making
it
a
key
resistance
zone.
The
Relative

and
the
Awesome

(AO)
on
the
daily
chart
are
below
their
respective
neutral
levels
of
50
and
zero.
For
bulls
to
sustain
momentum,
both

must
rise
above
these
critical

potentially
supporting
the

rally.

Santiment’s

tracks
the

recorded
in

A
rise
in
this
metric
suggests
continuous
endeavors
to
uphold,
innovate,
and
improve
the
protocol,
which
is
generally
seen
as
favorable
by
investors
and
stakeholders.
Conversely,
a

might
raise
apprehensions
about
the
project’s
endurance,
capacity

in

to
129
on

10.
The
8.5%
rise
in
ARB’s

could
be
a
bullish
development
for
the
ARB

Despite

if
ARB’s

establishes
a
lower
low
on
the

it
may
signal
a
shift
in

Such
a

could
invalidate
the

leading
to

The

ING’s

“Our

December.
But
the
latest
hiring

“Markets

pricing
in
16bp
of

for
July:
we
think
the
deciding
factor
will
be
the
June
inflation
report
on
16
July,
after
May’s
figures
came
in
a
bit
higher
than
expected.”
“Still,
market
pricing
for
total
BoC
easing
in
2024
looks
conservative:
55bp
versus
our
call
for
75bp.
There
is
therefore
ample
room
for
dovish
repricing
along
the
way.
We
think
CAD
will
continue
to
underperform
other
commodity
currencies
due
the
domestic
story
and
its
lower
sensitivity
to
a
decline
in
USD
rates.”

Crucially,

that
the Committee

Incidentally,
there

we
admit
today’s
statement
tilts
the
balance
towards
at

two

“An

In
a
report
released
late
yesterday,
CIBC
significantly
raised
its
gold
price
forecasts,
seeing
a
more
bullish
outlook
for
bullion,
especially
in
the
event
of
a
Trump
presidency.
Key
Takeaways:
Gold:
Silver:
Market
Drivers:
US
politics:
Silver
Market
Outlook:
Quotable:
If
we
marry
the
different
starting
positions
(fiscal,
monetary
and
valuation)
with
the
policies
articulated
by
Trump
(bigger
deficits,
higher
tariffs,
less
Fed
independence),
it
is
easy
to
see
a
better
environment
for
gold
prices
if
Trump
repeats
in
2024
–
albeit
Biden
does
not
seem
much
more
restrictive
on
deficits
and
tariffs.
Given
neither
candidate
seems
concerned
on
fiscal
positions
coupled
with
a
Federal
Reserve
(and
to
some
extent
all
central
banks)
seemingly
more
comfortable
with
higher
structural
inflation,
we
believe
a
Biden
second
term
shouldn’t
be
a
negative
for
gold
prices;
but
if
Trump
is
re-elected
(and
follows
through
on
his
policy
positions),
the
already
impressive
rally
in
gold
prices
likely
continues
into
2025.
Note
that
gold
didn’t
do
well
in
the
first
Trump
Presidency
but
CIBC
notes
that
the
fiscal
situation
is
vastly
different
now
with
a
deficit
almost
four
times
as
large
as
it
was
in
2016
and
interest
payments
eating
up
15%
of
revenues
compared
to
6%
in
2016
(and
on
the
way
to
22%
in
2033).

Bitcoin
is
the
largest
cryptocurrency
by
market
capitalization,
a
virtual
currency
designed
to
serve
as
money.
This
form
of
payment
cannot
be
controlled
by
any
one
person,
group,
or
entity,
which
eliminates
the
need
for
third-party
participation
during
financial
transactions.
Altcoins
are
any
cryptocurrency
apart
from
Bitcoin,
but
some
also
regard
Ethereum
as
a
non-altcoin
because
it
is
from
these
two
cryptocurrencies
that
forking
happens.
If
this
is
true,
then
Litecoin
is
the
first
altcoin,
forked
from
the
Bitcoin
protocol
and,
therefore,
an
“improved”
version
of
it.
Stablecoins
are
cryptocurrencies
designed
to
have
a
stable
price,
with
their
value
backed
by
a
reserve
of
the
asset
it
represents.
To
achieve
this,
the
value
of
any
one
stablecoin
is
pegged
to
a
commodity
or
financial
instrument,
such
as
the
US
Dollar
(USD),
with
its
supply
regulated
by
an
algorithm
or
demand.
The
main
goal
of
stablecoins
is
to
provide
an
on/off-ramp
for
investors
willing
to
trade
and
invest
in
cryptocurrencies.
Stablecoins
also
allow
investors
to
store
value
since
cryptocurrencies,
in
general,
are
subject
to
volatility.
Bitcoin
dominance
is
the
ratio
of
Bitcoin’s

It
provides
a
clear
picture
of
Bitcoin’s
interest
among
investors.
A
high
BTC
dominance
typically
happens
before
and
during
a
bull
run,
in
which
investors
resort
to
investing
in
relatively
stable
and
high
market
capitalization
cryptocurrency
like
Bitcoin.
A
drop
in
BTC
dominance
usually
means
that
investors
are
moving
their
capital
and/or
profits
to
altcoins
in
a
quest
for
higher
returns,
which
usually
triggers
an
explosion
of
altcoin
rallies.

USD/JPY
has
continued
recovering
after
finding
support
at
160.26,
the
July
8
low
and
bouncing.
The
pair
has
since
established
a
new
sequence
of
higher
highs
and
higher
lows
on
the
4-hour
chart,
indicative
of
the
start
of
a
short-term
uptrend.
Given
“the
trend
is
your
friend”
the
odds
now
favor
a
continuation
higher.
USD/JPY
is
also
in
an
uptrend
on
an
intermediate
and
long-term
time
frame,
further
supporting
a
bullish
outlook.
A
break
above
161.61
would
signify
more
upside
to
the
next
target
at
161.95
(the
July
3
high).
A
break
above
that
level
would
establish
a
higher
high
and
provide
further
bullish
confirmation.
Such
a
move
would
probably
reach
the
162.70s
initially,
at
the
top
of
the
rising
channel,
where
it
would
again
meet
resistance.
