QCP: Cryptocurrency Market Expected to Have Further Upside, Coinbase Inclusion in S&P 500 Index Could Be New Catalyst
On May 14th, QCP released its daily market observation, indicating that the US-Saudi trade led to a market rebound. The US and Saudi Arabia signed a milestone $600 billion trade agreement, which prompted the removal of tariffs and triggered a new wave of risk appetite.
The US CPI came in lower than expected, easing market concerns about inflation and boosting expectations for rate cuts. However, the Fed remains cautious.
