May 28: The U.S. April PCE data is set to release tonight at 8:30 p.m. Beijing time. Market consensus forecasts April’s year-over-year PCE rise will hit 3.8%, up from the prior reading of 3.5% and marking a near three-year high. The core PCE year-over-year rate is also expected to edge slightly higher to 3.3%. With energy price pressures still lingering and service sector inflation remaining sticky, if the data confirms inflation is accelerating broadly, it will provide strong backing for the Fed to pivot back to a hawkish stance. Currently, the CME Group’s FedWatch tool shows that while markets expect interest rates will stay unchanged in June, the probability of a rate hike before the end of the year has risen noticeably. Looking ahead, Goldman Sachs believes inflation will take time to cool, forecasting core PCE will remain around 3% through 2026, while overall inflation this year will hold below 4%.

May 28 update: On-chain analytics firm Embermonitor reports that Hyperliquid’s Telegram trading bot and copy-trading platform pvp.trade has accumulated roughly $8.68 million in total transaction fee commissions, cementing its status as one of the top Builders in the Hyperliquid ecosystem. Since Hyperliquid launched, pvp.trade has consistently reinvested its commission earnings into buying HYPE tokens. The platform currently holds 421,000 HYPE, with an average cost per token of just $20.6. At current market rates, that stake is valued at around $24.34 million. However, pvp.trade redeemed 400,000 HYPE tokens from staking yesterday — a holding worth approximately $22.8 million at the time of withdrawal. It remains unclear whether the move was a deliberate profit-taking play amid HYPE’s recent price surge. Hyperliquid’s Builder Fees mechanism rewards the creators of its products with a share of transaction fees generated by trading on those products.

May 28: 10x Research reported that with surging demand for AI infrastructure, Bitcoin mining companies are accelerating their shift to become AI infrastructure firms. The firm’s Crypto Stock Basket Index is up 56% year-to-date, while Bitcoin (BTC) has fallen 17% over the same period. This week, BTC faced pressure amid a rise in U.S. Treasury yields and growing market expectations that the Federal Reserve will maintain a hawkish policy stance. Institutional funds continued to pull money out of non-yielding assets, and BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF also saw substantial outflows. In the meantime, mining stocks and AI infrastructure concept shares rallied sharply this week: KEEL rose 30%, CIFR and IREN each climbed 29%, WULF gained 24%, and HUT advanced 22%. 10x Research notes several key events this week signal that mining firms’ transition to AI is speeding up, including IREN’s $1.6 billion acquisition of Dell’s Blackwell system, TeraWulf’s purchase of a 1GW facility in Kentucky, and Hut 8’s

May 28 (Investinglive) — Gold prices slid to a two-month low this week amid stalled U.S.-Iran talks and mounting hawkish risks from the Federal Reserve. While markets had priced in an imminent bilateral deal and a potential reopening of the Hormuz Strait, no official announcements have materialized—only a flurry of unconfirmed reports and market chatter. Over the past few days, both sides have carried out limited military strikes, but the U.S. maintains that its ceasefire agreement remains in effect. On the Fed side, a growing number of policymakers are pushing to abandon the central bank’s dovish stance, with the June FOMC meeting emerging as the critical juncture for this policy shift. Looking ahead, if no breakthrough in U.S.-Iran relations occurs before the June meeting, persistent high inflation and resilient U.S. economic data could deliver a hawkish surprise to markets. In the near term, a resolution that reopens the Hormuz Strait would likely push oil prices lower and lift ex
