Inflation and geopolitics weigh on cryptocurrencies and markets
Rising oil prices and persistent geopolitical instability are causing serious inflation concerns among investors. In these conditions, they prefer to get rid of risky assets, including Bitcoin, in anticipation of decisive action by central banks to tighten monetary policy.
Lending rates are rising, government bond yields are falling
Investors are confident that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) and other regulators will be forced to actively raise key rates to bring inflation under control. This is leading to a collapse in government bond yields, which is also negatively impacting cryptocurrencies and other risky assets.
Analysts note that in such a nervous market environment, investors prefer to move to safer haven assets such as the US dollar. This further limits the growth of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
Expert: Rates may continue to rise, putting pressure on cryptocurrencies
According to the experts of our publication, in the coming months, lending rates will continue to rise, which will put further pressure on cryptocurrencies and other risky assets. This will negatively impact investments in Bitcoin, especially against the backdrop of general nervousness in the stock markets.
