Dow Jones Up 500 Points As Ceasefire Holds US stocks have recovered as tensions in the Middle East lowered, creating positive, risk-on sentiment among investors. Israel and Iran announced a fragile ceasefire, which is holding for the moment. As a result, the Dow Jones rose 470 points or 1.1%, reclaiming pre-war levels. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 rose 1.05%, while the tech-focused Nasdaq rose 1.43%. Market watchers and traders are hopeful that hostilities will cease. President Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran and also pressured the former to stop its attacks against Iran. An escalation of the conflict threatened the global oil economy. Escalation became a possibility after the US struck key Iranian installations. Iran threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz in response, a move that could push oil prices to historic highs. However, with hostilities easing, crude oil prices dropped to $64 per barrel, down over 5% in one day. Crude oil traded around $75 at the height of the conflict. Fed To Wait Before Deciding On Rate Cuts With tensions in the Middle East under control, markets turned their attention to the Federal Reserve and interest rate cuts. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said during his testimony before Congress that the Fed plans to wait for more information before making changes to interest rates. Powell stated he is still concerned about the potential impact of Trump’s tariff policies, which could push inflation higher and lower growth. Powell also said the impact of inflation could be short-term or persistent, each requiring a different response. However, the Fed Chair stated that rate cuts could happen sooner if inflation stays low or the unemployment rate rises.

Coinbase Claims It Helped In Key Secret Service Operation Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has claimed it played a key role in a US Secret Service investigation, resulting in the seizure of $225 million linked to several crypto investment scams. The United States Department of Justice recently filed to seize over $225 million in crypto recovered by the Secret Service. According to investigators, the funds were stolen by pig butchering scammers and was the largest seizure in the agency’s history. Coinbase and several other exchanges joined in an “investigative sprint,” helping the Secret Service identify scam victims, analyze chain flows, and build a case to seize crypto. According to Coinbase, its team tracked millions in crypto transactions from illicit wallets and other account activity, helping flag scam victims for the Secret Service. “This blockchain analysis and subpoena records production allowed the USSS to identify more than 130 Coinbase customers who were unknowingly defrauded, representing $2.3 million in losses.” Bitcoin (BTC) Price Analysis Bitcoin (BTC) extended its gains for a third consecutive day to reclaim $106,000 and move to its current level of $106,683.
