On July 6th, Jeff, senior macro strategist at BNY Mellon, pointed out that weaker U.S. labor market data and improved inflation data have reduced the urgency for further tightening by the Federal Reserve, but this does not address whether the slowdown in growth is under control or whether policy expectations have been over-adjusted. He stated, "The global narrative is becoming less unified." In the U.S., the question is whether the Fed can remain patient if inflation risks do not re-emerge; while in Europe, the focus is shifting from emergency inflation management to issues such as economic growth, fiscal credibility, and defense financing.The yield on Japans 5-year government bond rose 2.0 basis points to 1.940%.July 6th - SMBC Nikko Securities economist Yoshimasa Maruyama stated that the Bank of Japans first-quarter output gap estimate showed a stable positive trend, which is conducive to pushing inflation higher. He pointed out that this data can be seen as a reason to support further interest rate hikes. However, he added that the positive output gap has not widened, indicating that there is currently no urgent need to accelerate the pace of monetary tightening. "If a faster pace or larger magnitude of interest rate hikes is needed in the future, it may stem from the lagged but significant transmission effect of inflationary pressures caused by the situation in the Middle East, or from rising inflation expectations," he said.The South Korean government will expedite the construction of the chip factory project in Yongin.New York gold futures rose more than 1.00% on the day, currently trading at $4,167.10 per ounce.

Crypto Market Daily Highlights: SEC Targets Paxos and Binance USD

The top ten cryptocurrency index had a gloomy session on Monday. The descent was headed by BNB and MATIC. BTC finished the day below $22,000 for the seventh straight session.


On Monday, there were no US economic indications to inform investors, so attention was focused on the cryptocurrency news sources.


Investors were alarmed by the news that the Securities and Exchange Commission has switched its attention from staking to stablecoins. News of the SEC intending to sue Paxos over the release and listing of Binance USD broke on Monday (BUSD). The company violated investor protection regulations, according to the SEC.


In response to the Wells notice, Paxos issued a statement in which it said that it "categorically disagrees with the SEC staff" since BUSD is not considered a security under federal securities laws. The SEC Wells notification is specific to BUSD exclusively. There are absolutely no further claims against Paxos, to be clear. Paxos has always placed a high priority on protecting its clients' investments.


"BUSD produced by Paxos is always backed 1:1 with US dollar-denominated reserves, completely segregated, and stored in bankruptcy distant accounts," the statement said. On this matter, we will interact with the SEC staff, and if necessary, we are ready to fight vehemently.


Response to SEC Action The CEO of Binance, CZ, said the following in response to Paxos and BUSD: "IF BUSD is declared as a security by the courts, it will have significant consequences on how the crypto business will expand (or not develop) in the countries where it is ruled as such."


"Given the current regulatory uncertainty in some areas, we will be assessing additional initiatives in certain jurisdictions to ensure our users are sheltered from excessive damage," CZ stated in a series of tweets.


Additionally, CZ retweeted a tweet from Miles Deutscher in which Miles presented various reasons in support of the SEC's classification of stablecoins as securities. But given that a STABLECOIN blatantly fails the Howey Test, how on earth can it classified as a security? Nobody has ever purchased BUSD with the goal of making money.


After hearing that Kraken had reached a settlement with the SEC and would be discontinuing its crypto-staking services, the SEC announced its most recent action.


Investor confidence will continue to be weighed down by regulatory uncertainty since the SEC is now targeting stablecoins and crypto staking.
