Bitcoin lending bounces back, Wall Street credit takes lead as $60,000 level looms

Bitcoin lending bounces back, Wall Street credit takes lead as $60,000 level looms

Silicon Valley Bank, part of First Citizens BancShares, put bitcoin-backed loans in front of credit investors again, saying the business has shifted from failed crypto firms to overcollateralized lending, bank lines, and rated ABS. CoinDesk and FinanceFeeds reported on the change in the last 24 hours. Bitcoin traded under $60,000 at the time. For investors, the key is in the loan terms. A lender who requires $2 in bitcoin for every $1 lent and who liquidates at 80% loan-to-value gets a 37.5% price cushion on bitcoin before forced selling, if there’s no repayment or collateral added. At the price on the dateline, liquidation would hit around $37,100. SVB said Ledn hasn’t reported losses from collateralized consumer loans after bitcoin’s 48% slide from last year’s high.

Dow Closes Above 52,000; Nasdaq Slides on Tech Retreat After the Bell

Dow Closes Above 52,000; Nasdaq Slides on Tech Retreat After the Bell

Dow edges higher, S&P 500 and Nasdaq drop as rotation hits tech Stocks finished mixed on Wall Street Tuesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended up 0.64% at 52,003.34. The S&P 500 slipped 0.41% to 7,523.07, and the Nasdaq Composite lost 0.86% to close at 26,455.00. Investors rotated out of big tech and chip stocks, putting pressure on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, while financials and industrials lifted the price-weighted Dow. Higher-priced names pushed the Dow higher as selling hit other parts of the market. Stocks traded mixed as investors took profits after Monday’s jump on hopes for a U.S.-Iran deal and the chance the Strait of Hormuz could reopen. Earlier, Reuters said tech was the biggest drag on the S&P, while banks led the rebound, lifted by JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Bank of America. “We’re just digesting some of those gains and the setup in anticipation of the Fed meeting is always a little tentative,” Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott, told Reuters.

Peso falls after U.S. jobs surprise resets Fed expectations

Peso falls after U.S. jobs surprise resets Fed expectations

Mexican peso fell hard Friday, with the dollar at about 17.49 pesos after a firm U.S. jobs print sent Treasury yields up and helped the greenback. That wiped out most of the peso’s gains from Thursday’s relief rally. Jobs data hit as markets were watching if the Federal Reserve would pause or bring another hike this year. Mexico’s central bank says it’s finished cutting after last month’s move to 6.50% on the benchmark rate.

Gold Drops on Dollar Gains, Wall Street Sinks as Yields Jump

Gold Drops on Dollar Gains, Wall Street Sinks as Yields Jump

Dollar climbs for fifth day, gold slips, Nasdaq breaks streak The dollar gained for a fifth day on Friday, while gold fell to its lowest in over a week. Higher oil prices, firm U.S. data and surging Treasury yields pushed investors to reconsider how the Federal Reserve could move next. U.S. stocks dropped, and the Nasdaq ended its six-week run of gains. Stocks had been pushing higher on tech strength, but the jump in inflation signals is starting to cut through. The 10-year Treasury yield hit a one-year high. Traders also boosted wagers on the Fed raising rates instead of cutting them later this year.

US Stock Market Today: Nasdaq Hits Record as Oil Retreats and Earnings Lift Wall Street

US Stock Market Today: Nasdaq Hits Record as Oil Retreats and Earnings Lift Wall Street

Tech names did the heavy lifting Tuesday, driving the U.S. stock market higher. Crude oil prices cooled off after Monday’s jump, prompting a swing back into growth stocks. According to LSEG data cited by Reuters, the S&P 500 added 0.83% to 7,260.23, the Nasdaq Composite climbed 1.00% to 25,317.95, and the Dow advanced 0.56% to 49,215.64. Brent crude, meanwhile, slipped 3.31% to $110.65. The shift matters, with Wall Street juggling both robust corporate earnings and an oil shock linked to the Strait of Hormuz—the major artery for crude shipments. According to AP, the S&P 500 looked set to clear last week’s high. The Nasdaq was moving closer to a record as oil prices reversed a chunk of Monday’s surge.

Bank of America’s $16 Billion Oracle AI Data Center Deal Puts Wall Street’s AI Bet Under a Harsh Light

Bank of America’s $16 Billion Oracle AI Data Center Deal Puts Wall Street’s AI Bet Under a Harsh Light

Bank of America Corporation is leading the $16 billion financing package for a Michigan data center campus—an Oracle-backed project from Related Digital—handing the U.S. bank a major role as AI infrastructure spending accelerates. Related Digital, along with Blackstone, confirmed the deal for the Saline Township development. Bank of America steps in as both structuring agent and financial advisor. The timing isn't just about tech anymore—AI spending has crossed over into Wall Street territory. Banks, private capital, and bond investors are figuring out how much risk they want in massive computing hubs—those data centers stacked with servers crunching digital tasks. Reuters says the Michigan campus is one piece of a larger effort from OpenAI, Oracle, and Related Digital to ramp up AI infrastructure across the U.S.

Mortgage Rates Today: 30-Year Fixed Holds Near One-Month Low, but Spring Buyers Stay on the Sidelines

Mortgage Rates Today: 30-Year Fixed Holds Near One-Month Low, but Spring Buyers Stay on the Sidelines

U.S. mortgage rates barely budged on Wednesday, with 30-year fixed offerings holding close to a four-week trough. The Mortgage News Daily index ticked up to 6.32%, a rise of just 0.01 point from Tuesday, following what the outlet called lenders’ strongest session of the month. This shift is significant: even a slight drop in borrowing costs is beginning to turn up in loan application numbers. For the week ending April 10, the Mortgage Bankers Association reported that the contract rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage slipped to 6.42%, down from 6.51% the prior week. Total applications climbed 1.8%.

Wells Fargo Profit Beats in Q1, But Revenue Miss and Lower Rates Hit Shares

Wells Fargo Profit Beats in Q1, But Revenue Miss and Lower Rates Hit Shares

Wells Fargo turned in a stronger profit for the first quarter on Tuesday—net income climbed 7% to $5.25 billion, or $1.60 a share, topping expectations. Still, a softer showing on revenue and lackluster core lending metrics took the edge off. Revenue landed at $21.45 billion, and net interest income was $12.1 billion, both falling short of some Wall Street calls. The stock slipped premarket. That’s significant right now: investors want to see if Wells can translate its newfound balance-sheet flexibility into more reliable growth. The Federal Reserve removed its $1.95 trillion asset cap in June 2025, a restriction imposed after the fake-accounts scandal. The latest report drops as major bank earnings pick up and lower U.S. rates squeeze lending margins, even as loan growth shows signs of improvement.

US Stock Market Week Ahead: Iran Talks, Bank Earnings and PPI Top What to Watch Before Monday’s Open

US Stock Market Week Ahead: Iran Talks, Bank Earnings and PPI Top What to Watch Before Monday’s Open

Wall Street’s Monday open could hinge on weekend U.S.-Iran discussions and initial tanker moves through the Strait of Hormuz. On Saturday, three supertankers navigated a trial passage while negotiators gathered in Islamabad, offering investors a glimpse at potential relief from the energy shock that rattled markets in March. The S&P 500 has almost erased its drop following the late-February U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran, with Friday closing out the strongest week for major U.S. indexes since November. But expectations haven’t cooled off: According to Reuters, analysts are looking for S&P 500 companies to post first-quarter earnings growth of about 14% from last year, which doesn’t leave much cushion for disappointing forecasts.

Mortgage Rates Today: 30-Year Fixed Dips to 6.43%, but Spring Buyers Get Little Relief

Mortgage Rates Today: 30-Year Fixed Dips to 6.43%, but Spring Buyers Get Little Relief

Monday saw U.S. mortgage rates edge lower, though the move was slight. The daily index from Mortgage News Daily showed the average top-tier 30-year fixed rate at 6.43%, just 2 basis points—0.02 percentage point—below the previous level. Borrowing costs remain stubbornly elevated during what's typically the peak period for homebuyers. Freddie Mac’s latest weekly read put the 30-year fixed mortgage at 6.46%—a level not seen since early September. Meanwhile, purchase applications slid 3%, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association’s most recent data.

Silver Price Today: Silver Slips as Fed Cut Bets Fade and Iran Oil Risk Lifts Inflation Fears

Silver Price Today: Silver Slips as Fed Cut Bets Fade and Iran Oil Risk Lifts Inflation Fears

Spot silver dipped 0.9% to $72.32 an ounce by 11:22 a.m. ET on Monday. Gold barely budged, while both platinum and palladium gave up ground. Bart Melek, TD Securities’ global head of commodity strategy, pointed out that a prolonged conflict involving Iran could drive oil higher and stoke inflation, which would tighten the leash on central banks looking to cut rates. This comes as metals markets tread a fine line. Last month, the Federal Reserve left its policy range unchanged at 3.50%-3.75%. Monday’s ISM services survey clocked prices paid at 70.7, a level not seen since October 2022. BMO economist Priscilla Thiagamoorthy called the numbers a reason to "reinforce the case for patience."

Gold Price Today Holds Near $4,670 as Iran Deadline and Fed Rate Fears Cap Bullion (Reuters)

Gold Price Today Holds Near $4,670 as Iran Deadline and Fed Rate Fears Cap Bullion (Reuters)

Gold hovered just under $4,670 an ounce on Monday, clawing back after slipping earlier. Traders are eyeing President Donald Trump’s final Tuesday deadline for Iran to strike a deal over the Strait of Hormuz, even as they scale back expectations for U.S. rate cuts. By 11:22 a.m. ET, spot gold was flat at $4,669.27, following a 1% drop earlier in the session. U.S. gold futures tacked on 0.3% to $4,694.50. This is a tricky spot for bullion. War risk keeps some support under the metal, but with no yield to offer, higher-for-longer U.S. rates eat away at its shine. All this comes after gold slumped over 11% in March—the sharpest monthly decline since October 2008.

Dow Jones Today: Industrial Average Rises as Iran Ceasefire Hopes Offset Oil and Fed Fears

By 11:50 a.m. ET on Monday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 83.20 points, or 0.18%, to 46,587.48. Wall Street found some footing after a rough March, with optimism swirling around possible 45-day Iran ceasefire negotiations. The S&P 500 was up 0.25%, while the Nasdaq Composite pushed higher by 0.40%. This is significant: with the Dow constructed as a price-weighted index of 30 big U.S. names, pricier stocks pack more punch than in market-cap-weighted gauges. Monday’s uptick hinted at a return of buyers to blue chips—though conviction was clearly thin.

Wells Fargo Outage Today: Thousands Report Online Banking and App Login Problems

Wells Fargo Outage Today: Thousands Report Online Banking and App Login Problems

Wells Fargo’s online banking and mobile app frustrated customers nationwide on Monday as users struggled to log in, with the bank’s own status page citing a “temporarily unavailable” message. Downdetector clocked over 6,000 outage reports by 8:07 a.m. Pacific—just minutes after the number first topped 4,000. This kind of disruption is significant as day-to-day banking continues its migration to digital channels. Wells Fargo reported on March 26 that its mobile active user base climbed past 33 million in the previous month. According to an Axios piece published Monday, 84% of adults polled in a Wells Fargo survey said they’d rather ditch social media for a year than go without banking apps.

Bitcoin Price Today Slips Below $70,000 as CPI Looms and Iran Risks Keep Traders on Edge

Bitcoin Price Today Slips Below $70,000 as CPI Looms and Iran Risks Keep Traders on Edge

Bitcoin slipped under the $70,000 mark on Wednesday, shedding some of Tuesday’s recovery as traders trimmed exposure ahead of a crucial U.S. inflation readout. Most recently, bitcoin changed hands at $69,560, off roughly 1.9% after swinging between $71,569 and $69,382. Ether dropped 2.3% to $2,018, while XRP edged down 2.1% to $1.37. Bitcoin rose 1.58% to roughly $70,094 on Tuesday, helped by an oil slump of over 11% as markets gambled—at least for a moment—that the Middle East conflict wouldn’t deliver a lasting jolt to energy or inflation. By Wednesday, though, that optimism was looking shaky. Investors remained anxious about fallout from the war and what it could mean for growth and prices.

  • Bitcoin Lifts Off September Lows but Derivatives Flash Downside Risks
    July 1, 2026, 9:15 AM EDT. Bitcoin ticked 0.3% higher to $58,700 after scraping September 2024 lows. Ether edged up too. But crypto futures liquidations hit $395 million, mostly shorts, keeping pressure on markets. Open interest for Bitcoin futures increased, though funding rates and volume delta show traders split on direction. Gold futures hit record open interest, even as technicals stay bearish. Options activity still leans bearish, with puts more expensive than calls and traders betting Bitcoin could fall under $50,000 by the end of Q3. Bright spot: Solana token Jupiter jumped 11% as trading and value locked both surged.
