July 15th - The market widely expects the Bank of Canada to keep its overnight interest rate unchanged at 2.25% when it announces its interest rate decision on Wednesday. This would be the sixth consecutive time the rate has remained unchanged, following a combined 50 basis point cut in September and October of last year. Royal Bank of Canada stated that the surge in oil prices over the past month has not yet shown clear signs of developing into a broader, sustained inflationary shock. The bank further noted that, at the same time, Canadian economic growth and labor market data have improved compared to previous periods. While first-quarter GDP growth unexpectedly fell short of expectations, second-quarter economic momentum strengthened, and the labor market showed further signs of stabilization in May and June. Consumer spending data remained resilient. The bank believes that overall, although the Canadian economy remains weak, per capita economic growth is expected to gradually improve. Against this backdrop, it believes the Bank of Canada is likely to maintain its interest rate unchanged throughout 2026.July 15th - According to State Grid Inner Mongolia East Electric Power, as of 24:00 on July 12th, Inner Mongolias annual ultra-high voltage power transmission reached 114.6 billion kilowatt-hours, exceeding the 100 billion mark.July 15th - According to Beijing Capital International Airport, since the start of the summer travel season, passenger throughput at the airport has increased by over 5% year-on-year, with international and regional passenger traffic maintaining a year-on-year growth rate of over 10%.

Indian Exchange Volumes Benefiting from Bitcoin Price Drop

Bitcoin's anticipated fall from grace in recent days was a phenomenon that surprised investors and dealers. However, this was a happy moment for Indian crypto exchange operators, as trading volumes increased dramatically once BTC's price retested the lower $29,000 zone.

Indian Stock Exchange Volumes Increase

Following a dry period, trade volumes on Indian crypto platforms increased. For the most of this year, Bitcoin and other altcoins experienced a range bound price movement, and Indian crypto exchange volumes were similarly modest.


As bitcoin's price fell by more than 56% from its all-time high of $69,000 in November 2021, transaction volumes increased throughout marketplaces as a result of the selling pressure.


According to accounts from local news organizations, the increase in volumes in India was enormous and lasted almost two days. Trade volumes on crypto trading platforms including WazirX, CoinDCX, and Unocoin increased by 20 to 75 percent.


"Overall volumes increased by 70% between May 8 and 9," stated Nischal Shetty, Co-founder and CEO of WazirX, in an interview. In terms of trading, there is a mood of 'buying the drop,' as buyers have been somewhat controlling the market."


He went on to say that such purchasing activity shows that investor confidence in the market is still high, even at current levels.

India's Web3 Developments Increasing My Pace

According to a recent research, the number of Web3 developers reporting their locations climbed the highest in India and Russia, respectively, increasing to 5.3 percent and 4.3 percent of the market share. The United States, on the other hand, has lost over 20% of its market share since 2015.


With the emergence of Web3 and blockchain development in the Indian subcontinent, an increase in trading volumes amid a wider market fall indicates market players' trust. This meant that Indians succumbed to the "buy the dip" mentality.


"Volatility usually leads to a rise in volume on platforms like ours," said Minal Thukral, Executive Vice President, Growth and Strategy at CoinDCX. We're witnessing an increase in the number of people purchasing the dip and a decrease in the number of users selling it."


However, since the new tax policy took effect on April 1, trade volumes on Indian crypto exchanges have decreased. However, it seems that Indians are increasingly taking greater risks, indicating a growing interest in hazardous asset investments in the country.
