Bitcoin Flat Despite Upbeat Economic Data
Good news from the Department of Labor and Wall Street seems to have boosted everything except bitcoin today.
Economic Data Buoys Stocks, But Bitcoin Doesn’t React
U.S. jobless claims fell to a 3-month low on Thursday, and at least 44 companies beat their quarterly estimates this week. Stocks jumped on the news, but bitcoin ( BTC) showed little reaction to the upbeat economic data, remaining mostly flat as altcoins gained on the cryptocurrency whose dominance of the market fell below 63%.
The Department of Labor released its initial jobless claims report, which counts the number of people filing for unemployment benefits for the first time. There were 221,000 applications for the week ending July 12, a decrease of 7,000 compared to the previous week and the lowest number of claims in three months.
Unlike bitcoin’s muted reaction, U.S. President Donald Trump’s response to the upbeat economic data was celebratory. Trump took to social media and used the positive news as an opportunity to take a jab at Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, who has been reluctant to cut rates until inflation drops from the current level of 2.7% to the Fed’s target of 2%.
“‘Too Late:’ Great numbers just out. LOWER THE RATE!!! DJT,” Trump wrote.
Overview of Market Metrics
Bitcoin was quoted at $118,744.37 at the time of reporting, down slightly by 0.02% since yesterday, but still up 6.46% for the week, according to Coinmarketcap. The cryptocurrency traded as low as $117,508.22 and peaked at $120,065.25 over the past 24 hours.
