May 9th, the U.S.-UK trade deal initially prompted optimism that deals with other countries might follow. However, analysts say the initial positive impact on the market is fading because the agreement is limited in scope and 10% tariffs remain in place in most cases. "The agreement (or rather its lack of an agreement) is not very significant and does not necessarily give the impression that more substantial results are expected in negotiations with other countries," said Volkmar Baur, an analyst at Commerzbank, in a report.ECB board member Rehn: The decline in inflation is progressing smoothly and the outlook for economic growth is weakening.On May 9, the latest weekly survey of the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) showed that the proportion of ordinary investors surveyed who were optimistic about the six-month outlook for the stock market jumped from 20.9% last week to 29.4%, the highest level since early February.

The major market focus is still on US macro and Fed monetary policy

Prior to a recovery after the US closing bell on Monday, panic selling had driven the overall cryptocurrency market value to a day low of $969.2 billion. Prior to a busy week for the international financial markets, dip buyers were able to enter the market due to a lack of US economic indications and FOMC member talk.


The tone is set today by the PMIs for the US private sector, with the Services PMI dominating the market. Support for cryptocurrencies came from a greater decline in the services sector, with the data pointing to the need for a potential stop in rate increases.


Core durable goods orders, unemployment claims, Q2 GDP, personal expenditure, and inflation data will all be released this week.


The figures, however, will be obscured by doubt. Investors must take into account the factors that provide the Fed additional leeway and those that might shorten the aggressive interest rate path that is envisaged beyond normalization.


The two market factors are still the Fed interest rate course trajectory and the economic outlook. The perfect crypto combo would be a less hawkish approach on interest rates and an upbeat assessment of the US economy. The two are unlikely to occur simultaneously, however, given how hotly US inflation is rising.


Other economies, including those of the US, China, the Eurozone, and the UK, are in trouble.

XRP Falls Short While Investors Wait Crucial judicial decision in the SEC v. Ripple case

Investor apprehension about the SEC v. Ripple case continues to be a barrier for XRP. Court decisions on the materials relating to the Hinman speech have been coming in slowly. Late in July, the SEC submitted its most recent challenge to the court's decision rejecting its request for the Hinman documents to be protected by the attorney-client privilege.


It has been four weeks since the SEC objected. There haven't been any new developments about the materials relating to the Hinman speech other from an SEC reply brief.


Investors may find it concerning that the Court has heard more than six motions to challenge an initial judgement in Ripple's favor. These came before the July decision that prompted the SEC objection.
