China enacts “unexpected” rate cuts

Information from Forks Daily Markets Pro and TradingView depicted Bitcoin

BTC price swings to test the range highs after falling below $67 K in the earlier trading session.

The upward reversion occurred as Asia stocks’ performance was mixed as China decided to cut several key interest rates in a measure that “took markets by surprise.”

According to the PBoC, it resolved that it would reduce the seven-day moving average of the reverse repo rate by 0. 1% to 1. 7% and the one-year and 5-year loan prime rate (LPR) also rose in accordance, as sources such as Reuters informed.

“The cut today is therefore a quite surprising, as the growth momentum seems to have decelerated rather sharply in the second quarter, and with the Third Plenum mooting to ‘achieve this year’s growth target,’ “Larry Hu, chief China economist at global financial services firm Macquarie Group said to the publication.

Responding, markets commentator Holger Zschaepitz stated that prior to the latest Chinese cut the last was almost a year ago.

“Chinese stock market not really enthusiastic,” he wrote in part in a post on X.

The current exchange rates going up, the global interest rates going down is something that risk assets, including the cryptos will flourish on. Recall, that following China and Europe, the USA has not start a rate-cut cycle which is expected to begin in September according to markets.
