Bitcoin price jumps above $95,000 after US CPI as Senate crypto bill lands

Bitcoin price jumps above $95,000 after US CPI as Senate crypto bill lands

Bitcoin jumped 4.8% to $95,621 on Tuesday, after swinging between $90,956 and $95,815 in a choppy session. Ether rose 7.5% to $3,330 and XRP gained 5.9% to $2.17. The move matters now because crypto has slipped back into trading on two policy levers at once. Rate-cut hopes lift risk appetite, and any progress on a U.S. rulebook changes who is willing to hold coins through the next bout of volatility.

Wall Street Slips as Trump Credit-Card Cap Plan Hits Banks; CPI Holds at 2.7%

Wall Street Slips as Trump Credit-Card Cap Plan Hits Banks; CPI Holds at 2.7%

U.S. stocks ended lower on Tuesday, led by a drop in financial shares after JPMorgan executives warned that President Donald Trump's proposed cap on credit-card interest rates could squeeze lending. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 394.97 points, or 0.81%, to 49,195.23, while the S&P 500 lost 0.20% to 6,963.30 and the Nasdaq Composite slipped 0.10% to 23,711.20, preliminary data showed. Visa and Mastercard slid, and “Financials are getting hit by Trump's credit card proposal,” said Tim Ghriskey, senior portfolio strategist at Ingalls & Snyder in New York. Trump’s one-year 10% cap proposal, set to start Jan. 20, has pushed politics into a week packed with U.S. inflation data and the first wave of earnings. Citigroup tumbled on the plan on Monday, and American Express and Capital One also fell, while JPMorgan analysts flagged Citi and U.S. Bancorp as having the biggest hit.

Stock market today: Nikkei jumps, yen sinks as Dow and S&P brace for U.S. CPI and JPMorgan

Stock market today: Nikkei jumps, yen sinks as Dow and S&P brace for U.S. CPI and JPMorgan

Global stocks climbed Tuesday, fueled by a record surge in Tokyo as investors awaited U.S. inflation figures and the kickoff of major bank earnings. Japan’s Nikkei soared 3.3%, while the yen slipped toward 159 per dollar. IG strategist Chris Beauchamp described the market as “climbing and climbing” a fresh “wall of worry.” Gold hovered near $4,600 an ounce following a record high, with RBC’s Christopher Louney dubbing it a “catch-all” hedge. The U.S. December consumer price index arrives Tuesday and might reshape expectations around the pace of Federal Reserve rate cuts. Analysts predict annual core inflation, excluding food and energy, will tick up to 2.7%. Traders also factored in President Donald Trump’s vow to impose a 25% tariff on any nation trading with Iran, coupled with fresh criticism of Fed independence.

  • TSX jumps 110 points on tech, materials; U.S. chipmakers weigh on Nasdaq
    July 2, 2026, 5:21 PM EDT. Canada's S&P/TSX composite added 109.68 points to 34,966.67 on gains in technology and basic materials. Trade talks on the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) came into focus. Analyst Brianne Gardner pointed to potential in energy and defense if trade ties are modernized. Higher gold, up to US$4,125.70 an ounce, lifted the materials segment. In the U.S., markets were mixed: Dow was at a record, S&P 500 stayed flat, while the Nasdaq slid as chipmakers like Micron dropped 5.5% and Nvidia slipped 1.4% on AI growth uncertainties. U.S. employers added 57,000 jobs in June, missing forecasts. That could take pressure off the Fed as oil prices moved around.
