Mid-month, the Consumer Price Index will be released, and the Fed will disclose its decision regarding potential rate cuts in September, just 23 days later.
Here are this week’s important developments:
July 9, Wednesday
- 07:00 US Reciprocal Tariffs Deadline

Caution for Investors
Tariffs are this month’s most critical development, as TRUMP is set to implement increased tariffs starting August 1, leaving nations with only hours to negotiate. A surprise extension for negotiation could happen, but it would likely still adversely affect cryptocurrencies. With ongoing uncertainty, investors might perceive current prices as reasonable and opt to sell in anticipation of a rise in September.
So far, agreements have only been announced with the United Kingdom and Vietnam. Announcements regarding deals with other countries are expected by Wednesday, with India being considered a sure bet. This week, last-minute deals will be crucial amidst threats of additional tariffs on numerous nations.
The Federal Reserve minutes will provide insights into the significance of tariffs within the Fed committee. Prior to the inflation data release next week, there is a risk that the minutes could dampen market appetite. Moreover, the week of July 15 will see earnings reports from major firms including BlackRock and JPM, presenting a potential for significant market volatility based on the news flow, which might increase as we MOVE towards the following week.
Investors should be cautious regarding the risk of a US-EU standoff and the potential for increased sales due to inflation concerns. And of course, the future remains unpredictable, leaving room for surprises in the crypto world.
