June 18, Capital.com analyst Daniela Hathorn said in a report that the latest inflation data in the UK is unlikely to affect the Bank of England to resume cutting interest rates. The annual rate of CPI in the UK slowed down moderately to 3.4% in May from 3.5% in April. Although not catastrophic, these data did not impress those who hoped for a stronger trend of inflation decline. The market generally expects the Bank of England to keep the interest rate unchanged at 4.25% in Thursdays interest rate decision.June 18th, John Velis, macro strategist for the Americas at Bank of New York Mellon, said that no interest rate changes are expected at the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting, but the new Summary of Economic Projections may affect the market. The dot plot will indicate that the rate cut in 2025 will be lower than previously expected. Given that the market expects nearly two rate cuts this year, a more hawkish dot plot may disrupt the market. The Federal Reserve has become increasingly cautious about cutting interest rates in 2025, noting that inflation remains the top priority for most members who have shared their ideas. Given the continued uncertainty in policy, the Federal Reserve is unlikely to soften its interest rate views. After June, there are only four Federal Reserve meetings left this year, and it seems increasingly unlikely that there will be time for aggressive easing during the year.Hong Kongs Hang Seng Index closed at 23,710.69 points on June 18 (Wednesday), down 269.61 points, or 1.12%.

Nearly one-third of the worlds seaborne oil trade passes through this choke point. Severe disruptions in oil circulation are enough to push oil prices up to $120 a barrel.

What the Voyager Digital Bankruptcy Means for Your Cash and Crypto

After publishing an update on the assets kept by users on its platform, Voyager (OTCMKTS:VYGVF) is once again in the news. This is the most recent development in the tale since Voyager Digital filed for bankruptcy on July 6.


Since Voyager stopped all withdrawals, deposits, and incentives on July 1st, users have been living in a world of uncertainty. The collapse of the cryptocurrency hedge fund Three Arrows Capital was cited as the reason for the crypto lender's decision to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (3AC). Before 3AC disclosed its insolvency, Voyager had financed it $650 million.


If the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is backing the US dollars (USD) on the platform is another contentious issue (FDIC). The FDIC is now investigating Voyager's client outreach for deposit insurance.


However, based on the most recent business update, it seems that Voyager clients will be able to receive their USD back. Now let's discuss the specifics.

What Your Cash and Crypto Means After the Voyager Digital Bankruptcy

According to the update, Voyager maintains USD in a Metropolitan Bank For Benefit of Customers (FBO) account (NYSE:MCB). The USD balance in each customer's account is the same as the USD balance Voyager has in its FBO account. Customers' USD will thus be available following "a reconciliation and fraud prevention procedure" and is FDIC-insured. Voyager stressed:


"To be clear: Voyager does not handle client cash; that cash is housed at MCB. FDIC insurance does not protect against the demise of Voyager."


The platform's crypto assets are a separate matter, even if it seems that the FDIC covers Voyager's USD. Currently, Voyager has around $1.3 billion worth of cryptocurrency holdings. Customers will be compensated for their current holdings under the parameters of the Chapter 11 restructuring plan with a mix of cryptocurrency and stock. Customers may choose how much common stock and cryptocurrency they want to get.


Voyager tokens and the remaining cryptocurrency were returned. Customers will furthermore get common shares in the newly reformed firm and money recovered from 3AC. Voyager points out that the suggested approach might yet alter.


Voyager is now seeking further strategic options. The potential of a "third-party investment or sale" was also acknowledged by the corporation.
