Crypto markets have seen modest gains over the weekend following statements from US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent that the United States and China have agreed on a positive framework regarding Chinese export controls on rare earth minerals, helping to avert the previously threatened 100% tariffs on Chinese imports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Simon Peters, Crypto Analyst at eToro, this geopolitical development contributed to renewed investor optimism. Bitcoin is up over 3% in the last 24 hours, trading at approximately $115,300, while Ethereum rose 5% and Solana gained 3%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looking ahead, investors are focusing on key upcoming events that may influence market sentiment. President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are scheduled to meet at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in South Korea on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beyond geopolitics, attention turns to Wednesday\u2019s US Federal Reserve interest rate decision and the accompanying press conference by Chairman Jerome Powell. Cooler-than-expected US inflation data released last week has boosted expectations that the Fed may implement further rate cuts, potentially including another move on 10 December 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Current market odds, according to CME\u2019s FedWatch tool, suggest a 97% probability of a 25-basis-point cut at Wednesday\u2019s meeting and 96% for the December meeting. Simon Peters notes that any rate cuts combined with dovish commentary from Chairman Powell could further support upward momentum in crypto markets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
