On Friday evening, September 4, Beijing time, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics will release the August NFP report. The data will be released during the final week before the FED’s September policy meeting (September 15–16), making its potential market impact self-evident. However, in Bank of America’s view, the NFP report is more of an “appetizer.” The “main course” that will truly determine whether the FED raises rates in September remains the August Consumer Price Index (CPI), scheduled for

In the early hours of August 31, 2026, Beijing time, U.S. Central Command confirmed that the U.S. military had launched airstrikes on two rocket launchers on Iran’s Larak Island near the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps immediately announced that it had launched missiles at U.S. military bases, declaring that “the aggressors will inevitably be

Market pricing for the Fed’s September interest-rate decision is undergoing a significant shift. Expectations for a rate cut have nearly disappeared, while the risk of a rate hike has re-entered the picture. According to Gate event market data, as of August 27, 2026, market participants are relatively cautious about the September FOMC interest-rate decision: the probability of a 25-bps rate cut is only 1%, the probability of keeping rates unchanged is68%, while the probability of a 25-bps rate h

As of August 25, 2026, Gate 行情数据 shows that 比特币价格 is \$80,191.5, up 22.10% over the past 30 days and 23.37% over the past 7 days, indicating strong short-term rebound momentum. However, the price is also facing resistance as it approaches the 24-hour high of \$81,269.2. The market is at a critical juncture: the remainder of August will serve as a test of the quality of this rebound. Based on the probability distribution data provided by the Gate Event Market, combined with multiple on-chain and

On August 21, 2026, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) held the inaugural meeting of its Innovation Advisory Committee, discussing three major topics: crypto market regulation, artificial intelligence in finance, and prediction markets.

Selig explicitly proposed a “roadmap for the new frontier of finance,” emphasizing that the United States should strive to be a rulemaker in areas such as blockchain, AI, and prediction markets ra

In the early hours of August 20 Beijing time, data released by the U.S. Treasury showed that total federal government debt had officially surpassed the $40 trillion mark, reaching $40.05 trillion.

In August 2026, Bitcoin’s price hovered around $64,000, down approximately 49% from its October 2025 all-time high of $126,193. The figure itself is not surprising—crypto markets have long been known for extreme volatility. The more important question is this: now that BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, has incorporated Bitcoin into its institutional asset-allocation framework, spot ETFs have provided traditional capital with a compliant investment channel, and Wall Street giants such

On August 12, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released the July inflation data that markets had been eagerly awaiting. Headline CPI rose 3.4% year over year, while core CPI fell to 2.5% year over year, with both figures matching expectations.
