Macro-Economic Update
US Inflation Dips Again – Hits 3-Year Low
Good news on the inflation front: Prices rose just 2.3% in April compared to last year, the lowest rate since early 2021 and slightly below expectations.
Energy costs dropped 3.7%, with gas prices down nearly 12%. Food inflation also cooled (2.8%), and transportation costs eased up. Natural gas prices did jump, though, up over 15%. Shelter costs held steady at 4% year-over-year but drove over half of the modest 0.2% monthly CPI increase. Used car prices ticked up, along with new vehicles.
Core inflation (excluding food and energy) stayed at 2.8%, right on target.
Overall: Inflation’s cooling, but a few areas, like natural gas and cars are still heating up.

Wallet Inflows & Outflows Weekly Report
Top 2 Cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH)
Bitcoin Slows, Ethereum Holds Steady: Market Takes a Breather
Bitcoin records another week of outflows, signaling that investors are taking profits after the recent rally, while Ethereum wallets remain more balanced and stable. Following weeks of strong momentum, both assets appear to be in a consolidation phase. The recent slowdown doesn't reflect panic—rather, it's a sign that market participants are strategically repositioning without abandoning their positions.
This shift to a more sideways, low-volatility environment suggests confidence, not concern. The bullish momentum may be taking a pause, but investor behavior indicates trust in the broader trend. As we await new catalysts, such as macroeconomic data or ETF inflows, the market may continue to move sideways, setting the stage for the next significant breakout.
Economic Trends Affecting Crypto Markets
Risk-On Sentiment Ignites Crypto Rally as U.S.-China Truce and Peace Talks.
Crypto Rally Heats Up as Geopolitics Cool Down.
It’s been a red-hot week for crypto: Bitcoin has surged past $105,000, and Ethereum is up over 12%. The rally is riding a wave of global optimism, most notably the surprise truce between the U.S. and China, which agreed to suspend tariffs for 90 days. That move lit a fire under risk assets, with crypto leading the charge.
On top of that, a potential peace deal between Russia and Ukraine is reportedly in the works, and tensions between India and Pakistan seem to have fizzled out before escalating.
Geopolitical calm is back on the menu, and crypto is eating it up.
Key Macroeconomic Insights

Between positive data and high-stakes geopolitics, markets remain in “wait and see” mode.
