Both Fidelity and VanEck reported smaller, single-digit million outflows. The sequence of outflows comes after a period of robust inflows that had brought the total net contributions to these funds to $15.42 billion since their inception in January. However, the recent trend reversal has worried investors concerning the impact on the market.

This is happening at the same time when people are looking forward to the release of the economic data in the U. S for this week. The focus remains on the FOMC meeting and the consumer price index report.

CPI which is an important inflation indicator is expected to rise by only 0.1% from April. This increment predicts the ongoing disinflationary process which could affect the future policy of the Federal Reserve. Analysts are focusing on these economic figures as the CME Group has the following forecast for the present period – 99. 4%. Anticipating the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy, it is estimated to have a chance of keeping the interest rates unchanged at the current level of 5. 25% to 5. 50%.

However, a Reuters poll of economists has predicted that the Fed would commence cutting rates as early as September this year and do so twice. Macroeconomic factors have influenced markets and in particular, cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin with fluctuations. Now, the cost of a Bitcoin is $67,500, which is lower than the record $71, 850 set last week. This price movement is indicative of the present situation of investors’ risk appetite with future economic policies and its effect on the valuation of assets.
