U-Turn by Trump Runs Bitcoin up the Roof
In a marketous twist, Bitcoin soared more than 6 percent on Wednesday earlier, and the speculative currency appeared $93,200, following the euphoria of President Donald Trump announcing he relies on Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and mentions the prospect of tariff cuts on Chinese imports.
A few days back, Trump dismissed Powell as a major loser and threatened to get him removed—prompting a wild ride in the markets. But he told reporters Tuesday speaking out of the Oval Office:
I am not going to fire him but I would wish to see him more active in reducing the level of interest interest rates.
This reversal combined with Trump remarks Chinese tariffs will be coming down substantially, made the crypto and stock markets swim with optimistic forecasts.
The Chaos Works in the Favour of Crypto
Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin are perceived as a preserve in the event of political and economic turmoil. The unstable view of Trump regarding the Fed and the trade policies seems to have given more confidence to the decentralized assets.
As the Federal Reserve holds back actions on future rates with sticky inflation and trade tensions still not at ease, the market is leaning forward towards assets that are not governed by the central bank, such as Bitcoin.
