Funds See Major Inflows, Mining Difficulty Reaches New ATH
The ^SPX 0.40% (-0.8%) and NDQ (-1.3%) slid on Monday morning as investors prepare for a stacked week of earnings and critical events on the economic calendar. Over 20% of the S&P 500 companies will report their earnings this week, including General Motors and McDonald’s on Tuesday, followed by tech companies like Amazon, Apple, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms later in the week. Meanwhile, the FOMC will hold its meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday and is expected to raise rates by 25 BPS. Investors will closely monitor the Fed’s decisions and clues about future rate hikes to combat inflation. In addition to commentary from the Fed, investors will be keyed in on ISM Manufacturing PMI and JOLTs data on Wednesday, followed by additional employment data and ISM non-manufacturing PMI on Friday. Over the weekend, BTC (-1.4%) reached a high of approximately $23.9k before declining to around $23.2k, and ETH (-1.5%) surged to $1,650 before pulling back to its current level of approximately $1,580. The big winner on the day thus far is DYDX (+18.6%), the native token of dYdX, a decentralized exchange, which announced the postponement of a token unlock last week, causing its governance token to rise over 60% since last week’s lows.
