Daily Flash | Cryptocurrencies rose on US markets relief rally but Global bond yields are not looking good for the economies

Fundamental & Technical Outlook

Macro

The IMF is urging Liz Truss, U.K. prime minister to "re-evaluate" the tax cuts amid the bond turmoil that had forced the hand of BoE, warning that the new measures are likely to fuel a cost-of-living crisis.

The Bank of England will suspend the planned start of its gilt selling next week and temporarily buy long-dated bonds, scooping up "whatever scale is necessary." The yield on the 10-year gilt tumbled in response, falling 36 basis points to 4.15%, while pound sterling rose above $1.08, before quickly wiping out those gains.

The DJIA and Nasdaq slipped further into a bear market and the S&P 500 fell to its lowest level in almost two years on Tuesday but made above-average gains on Wednesday at 1.88%, 2.05%, and 1.97%, respectively.

As Jerome Powell looks set on vanquishing soaring inflation and entrenched expectations, economic growth and hopes of a soft landing have been thrown into the back seat. The central bank has promised more rate hikes in November and December, and there are fears that the real effects could soon start rippling through the economy.

The 10-year Treasury climbed 4 basis points overnight to breach the key 4% level. The last time that happened was in 2008, at the height of the global financial crisis. Cryptocurrencies typically move in the opposite direction of yields.

Bitcoin (BTC) was trading at $19,491 (+2.14%) and Ether (ETH) was changing hands at $1,338 (+0.54%) as of this writing. Chainlink (LINK) -6.43%, Polygon (MATIC) +1.43%, and Uniswap (UNI) +2.06%.

📌 The topic of the Day: Christie has launched its own Ethereum NFT marketplace

In March 2021, Christie’s, a 256-year-old Luxury auction house, made a big splash in the NFT space as the firm auctioned off an NFT artwork titled "Everydays: The First 5,000 Days" for a record $69.3 million.

And now the old institution says it wants to become the first global auction house to host fully on-chain sales, through the launch of its own dedicated NFT “on-chain auction platform” titled “Christie’s 3.0.”

Christie’s 3.0 marketplace was built in collaboration with smart-contract startup Manifold and partnered with blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis and metaverse platform Spatial to create additional functionality. The platform will also provide users with tools for compliance and tax purposes. All transactions are recorded in full on the Ethereum blockchain.

For the launch of the marketplace, Christie’s is offering just one exclusive project: a collection of nine NFTs from Diana Sinclair, a multidisciplinary artist.

Meanwhile, NFT transactions on the Ethereum blockchain are -60% from their peak during the 2021 bull run.
