Trump's repeated tariffs have exacerbated market anxiety, and tonight's CPI data will become a key variable

Trump reversed his stance on Canadian tariff policies multiple times on Tuesday, causing a "roller coaster" market. At the opening, the major US stock indexes rose, but then Trump announced a 25% tariff on Canadian steel and aluminum, causing the three major indexes to fall. Shortly after, news came out that this policy was suspended and both sides would renegotiate, but the downward trend in the US stock market remained. In the afternoon, the market changed again as Ukraine agreed to a 30-day ceasefire. Large-cap tech stocks rebounded, pushing the US stock market to hit new daily highs, but the market weakened again towards the end of the day. At the close, all three major indexes fell, with the Dow falling 1.14%, the S&P 500 falling 0.76%, and the Nasdaq falling 0.18%. Most of the big tech stocks rose.

The rebound in the crypto market was significant, with Bitcoin rebounding from a low of $76,606 to above $83,000, up over 8%, recovering from yesterday's rapid decline. Ethereum also rebounded from a low of $1754 to $1920, up over 9%. Some altcoins had even larger rebounds. The total market value of cryptocurrencies slightly rose to $2.77 trillion, with a 2.5% increase in the past 24 hours, indicating a slight improvement in market sentiment.

The ongoing uncertainty surrounding Trump's tariff policies continues to impact the market, dampening Wall Street's mood about consumers and the potential economic impact. The CPI report at 8:30 tonight is highly anticipated, as investors hope to gauge whether the market's concerns about economic stagnation are justified. If the data exceeds expectations, the market may experience another sharp decline.

  • Genius Group Resumes Bitcoin Purchases, Acquiring 10 BTC for $854,000

    On October 7, NewsBTC reported that AI education company Genius Group announced on October 6 the resumption of its Bitcoin purchases. Between October 2 and October 5, the company acquired 10 Bitcoins for approximately $854,000, with an average price of about $85,364 per coin. This purchase marks the restoration of its funding strategy, which had previously been interrupted due to legal restrictions. The company was under an initial injunction that prohibited it from issuing stock, raising funds, and purchasing Bitcoin. The U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals lifted this injunction on August 31, removing the restrictions and allowing the company to resume its funding plans. Management has identified Bitcoin as one of the pillars of its funding strategy alongside AI assets, with ambitious long-term goals; however, the report notes that these goals should not be confused with existing assets on the balance sheet. If Bitcoin appreciates, the reserves could enhance the asset side; if it depreciates, the company will face market value fluctuations that are largely unrelated to the day-to-day operations of its education business.

  • Opinion: BitMine Nears End of Continuous ETH Accumulation, May Lose a Stable Buyer

    On October 7, CoinDesk analyst Krisztian Sandor reported that Tom Lee, chairman of the Ethereum treasury company BitMine, stated at the TOKEN2049 conference in Singapore that the company will stop buying ETH once its holdings reach 5% of the circulating supply. Currently, it is about 100,000 ETH away from this target. The company recently disclosed holdings of 6,016,414 ETH, which accounts for approximately 4.9% of the circulating supply, valued at about $15.5 billion based on Wednesday's prices. Last week, BitMine increased its ETH holdings by about $41 million, and if this pace continues, it is expected to reach the 5% target in six to seven weeks. The company also holds $643 million in cash and tradable securities, more than double the funds needed to complete the remaining purchases. Lee mentioned that the accumulation target, originally expected to take five years, is nearing completion in just over a year. Since launching this strategy in June 2025, BitMine has made weekly purchases, providing continuous demand in the market. According to DropsTab data, the company's ETH holdings are currently facing an unrealized loss of about $4.5 billion. ETH dropped approximately 5% in a 24-hour period on Wednesday, marking its lowest point since September 20.
