Macro-Economic Update

Key Data This Week:

U.S. Jobless Claims Drop Again, but Hiring Slows

U.S. initial jobless claims fell to 227K in early July — the lowest in 7 weeks and below forecasts. It’s the fourth straight decline, pointing to a still-resilient labor market.

But continuing claims rose to 1.965M, the highest since 2021, hinting that hiring may be cooling. Federal employee claims, after DOGE layoffs, edged down to 438.

Takeaway: Fewer layoffs, but hiring momentum could be fading.

Event: US Initial Jobless Claims
Date: 10/07/2025

Wallet Inflows & Outflows Weekly Report

Top 2 Cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH)

BTC and ETH Flows Stay Quiet

The past week has been notably flat in terms of crypto inflows and outflows. 

Bitcoin didn’t show any significant movement, aside from a small spike on July 8 that was largely offset by the one on July 5, a sign of market indecision.

Ethereum, meanwhile, remains steady. Net flows are nearly unchanged but continue to lean positive, extending its recent streak of green inflows and hinting at quiet accumulation.

Takeaway: Low activity overall, but ETH is still drawing interest.

Economic Trends Affecting Crypto Markets

Crypto Soars as Bitcoin Hits $116K Amid Policy Shifts and Macro Tailwinds

Crypto markets surged as Bitcoin hit fresh all-time highs near $116K, fueled by institutional demand, growing ETF inflows, and favorable U.S. policy momentum. 

Strong U.S. jobs data and a weaker dollar added macro tailwinds, while continuing jobless claims raised questions about hiring strength. 

Ethereum held steady amid regulatory optimism, as the U.S. advanced bipartisan crypto legislation and global players like China and India hinted at policy shifts. 

With volatility rising from trade tensions and regulatory developments, crypto is increasingly viewed as both a risk asset and a hedge.

Key Macroeconomic Insights

Tariffs, Jobs, and Fed Uncertainty as Key Macroeconomic Signals Rock Global Markets

This week’s economic landscape was dominated by rising trade tensions and central bank caution, as the U.S. flirted with new reciprocal tariffs while the Fed delayed rate cuts due to inflationary pressures from tariff uncertainty. 

Robust job gains of 147K and a drop in unemployment to 4.1% underscored labor market strength, yet mixed business surveys signaled uneven growth that complicates the Fed's policy path. 

In Europe, record highs in the FTSE 100 clashed with rising eurozone unemployment (6.3%) and tepid inflation, highlighting market optimism amid mounting global risks. 

Meanwhile, U.S. yields climbed as rate-cut expectations diminished ahead of the release of FOMC minutes. With major tariffs, labor, and monetary policy data converging, markets face heightened volatility and divergent regional dynamics.
