QCP noted that unexpected data on weak job growth in the US (NFP) led to a spike in Treasury yields, prompting a reassessment of anticipated rate cuts in July and September. In Europe, President Emmanuel Macron’s call for early elections increased geopolitical uncertainty, weakened the euro against the US dollar, and contributed to a broader cautious sentiment among investors.

Additionally, QCP Capital pointed out that market sentiment remains cautious ahead of the upcoming Consumer Price Index (CPI) data release and the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, where the Dot Plot outlining the Federal Reserve’s projected rate cuts through 2024 will be presented. Moreover, on Monday, a significant withdrawal of $64 million was recorded from Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) traded on the spot market.
