Bitcoin: is it a buy now?
Bitcoin seems to reverse up from the local dips. Are there enough reasons to buy it now?
What drives the market on August 10?
The market has started the week with a mixed sentiment. The US dollar is holding its gains, while the S&P 500 is edging higher.
Fundamentals
- On the one hand, the ongoing disputes between Democrats and Republicans add uncertainty to the market. They can’t reach an agreement over the fiscal stimulus package. The delay of announcing may weigh on the US economy. Another reason, which may deteriorate the overall sentiment, is US-China trade talks, which are scheduled for this week. If countries don’t make a deal, safe-havens will be boosted.
- On the other hand, the NFP report pleasantly surprised investors. It came out better than expected. Non-farm payrolls rose by 1.76 million, while the forecast was 1.53 million. Average hourly earnings and unemployment rate beat all estimates too.
