July 18th - US President Trump stated that the June inflation data brought encouraging news! The CPI monthly rate saw its largest drop in six years. The June CPI was lower than the forecasts of every economist (67 in total) surveyed by Bloomberg. Prices for various goods, including gasoline, electricity, auto insurance, hotels, and prescription drugs, all declined. With strong wage growth and falling prices, real wages rose sharply by 0.8%. With investment continuously flowing into the US, rapid expansion of factory construction, increased manufacturing employment, and persistently low prices, we have so much to be proud of—Americas golden age has arrived!US President Trump: June inflation data brings "major good news", the US is entering a "golden age".According to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), in the week ending July 14, speculators on the CBOT increased their net short positions in 10-year U.S. Treasury futures by 17,413 contracts to 831,675 contracts.

He claimed that Irans previous restraint was to avoid spillover of regional conflict, but the USs "miscalculation" could escalate the situation. Rezaei also called on Kuwait, Jordan, Qatar, the UAE, and other regional countries and governments to stop the US and Israel from expanding their operations, stating that the USs strategy of "simultaneous war and negotiation" has failed, and Iran will intensify its counterattacks in the coming days.July 18th - Crude oil futures recorded double-digit gains this week as the US expanded its military strikes against Iranian targets and Iran launched attacks on neighboring Gulf states. Another factor exacerbating concerns about escalating tensions is the possibility that Yemens Houthi rebels may take action to block shipping over the Red Sea; Saudi Arabia has been diverting its crude oil exports via the Red Sea while the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. Barclays analyst Amarpreet Singh stated in a report: "With inventories at near-record lows and most strategic petroleum reserve releases completed, the renewed escalation of tensions around the red line of the Strait poses significant upside risks to energy prices. As things stand, we believe the oil market is still too complacent about the potential impact on inventories."

Government personnel who actively engage in cryptocurrencies or are discovered to be in possession of any are prohibited from taking part in the creation of legislation and policies pertaining to cryptocurrencies, according to a recent directive from the US Office of Government Ethics.

With Some Exceptions

Additionally, the advisory notice made clear that even if the restriction is in effect, it only does so with a de minimis exception.


Owners are still able to invest in cryptocurrencies via publicly listed shares and mutual funds of businesses offering cryptocurrency and blockchain services because to this exception. Stablecoins and all other forms of cryptocurrency are included.


Government personnel are still permitted to acquire cryptocurrencies; but, doing so will prevent them from contributing to the development of crypto-related regulations.


They may still work on such initiatives, however, provided they divert their cryptocurrency holdings into other financial opportunities.


The notification went on to further describe the situation, saying "An employee may not engage in a specific topic if the employee understands that particular item might have a direct and predictable influence on the value of their cryptocurrency or stablecoins."


However, even for those who are permitted to invest in cryptocurrency-related stock index listings, a $50k threshold has been imposed over which the de minimis exemption is no longer applicable.

Crypto investors suffer a loss

The cryptocurrency market isn't in the greatest of health right now, even if the Biden administration is concentrating on creating laws for cryptocurrencies after the POTUS issued an executive order for the same.


The continued bearishness is having an impact on cryptocurrency firms as the overall market value of all cryptocurrencies is struggling to reach $1 trillion.


Voyager Digital has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy a week after stopping the platform's withdrawal, trading, and deposit services after Harmony almost went bankrupt a while back.


Thus, even without the US GOE's decision, it would only have taken these investors a little longer to leave the market, similar to how many other investors are already doing.
