Nasdaq 100 Hits Record High Amid Fed Rate Cut Speculation

According to Odaily, investor sentiment received a boost on Wednesday as expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut strengthened. Following the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation data meeting expectations, speculators increased their bets on a potential rate cut by the Federal Reserve. This prospect of a more accommodative monetary policy propelled the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 index to a historic high. Henry Elder, head of UTXO Management, commented on the situation, stating, "The market likes to see inflation meet expectations." He further noted that traders are currently trying to determine whether $100,000 is the upper or lower limit for Bitcoin. This sentiment reflects the ongoing analysis and speculation within the financial markets as investors assess the implications of potential changes in monetary policy on various asset classes, including cryptocurrencies.
