🚀 Analyst Predicts Lower Likelihood Of Higher-Than-Expected December CPI
#Analyst #CPI #PPI #BrentDonnelly #SpectraMarkets #ConsumerPrices #DecemberData #WallStreet #EconomicForecast
According to BlockBeats, on January 14, Brent Donnelly, an analyst at Spectra Markets, discussed the implications of a weak Producer Price Index (PPI) on the Consumer Price Index (CPI). While a weak PPI does not always lead to a weak CPI, it often does.
Recently, it has been unusual for the U.S. Department of Labor to release PPI data before CPI data in a given month, although this was common before 2018. Reviewing the past decade, when both overall PPI and core PPI were below expectations, as seen in the recent December data, the CPI exceeded expectations only 21% of the time.
Donnelly noted that in such scenarios, the CPI met expectations 39% of the time and fell below expectations another 39% of the time. This suggests a lower likelihood that the December CPI data, set to be released this Wednesday, will surpass Wall Street's expectations. Economists had previously forecasted a 0.3% increase in consumer prices.#Analyst #CPI #PPI #BrentDonnelly #SpectraMarkets #ConsumerPrices #DecemberData #WallStreet #EconomicForecast

🚀 Outgoing FDIC Chair Warns Against Aggressive Deregulation
#FDIC #Deregulation #FinancialCrisis #Banking #Cryptocurrency #MartinGruenberg #TravisHill
According to Odaily, the outgoing chairman of the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), Martin Gruenberg, has cautioned that aggressive deregulation of banks by the Trump administration could lead to significant costs for the American financial system. Gruenberg emphasized that short-term changes aimed at achieving immediate results in the financial sector might incur real costs and undermine long-term objectives. His warning comes as President-elect Trump has pledged to cut regulations and bureaucracy as part of his plan to boost the U.S. economy, with his allies showing interest in streamlining American financial regulatory bodies.
Gruenberg highlighted that the U.S. remains vulnerable to the same combination of issues that led to recent major crises, including the savings and loan collapse of the 1980s, the 2008 financial crisis, and the regional bank runs of 2023. In each instance, deregulation and reduced oversight facilitated the rapid growth of new products and non-bank financial companies, which later proved riskier than anticipated. He stressed the importance of learning from history to avoid repeating past mistakes, expressing concern that the nation might have to pay a heavy price once again.
In related news, FDIC interim chairman Travis Hill recently acknowledged in a speech that the agency had engaged in 'de-banking' of cryptocurrency companies. He noted that some crypto-related businesses lost banking services without explanation, describing this practice as 'unacceptable.'#FDIC #Deregulation #FinancialCrisis #Banking #Cryptocurrency #MartinGruenberg #TravisHill

🚀 SEC Continues Legal Battle With Ripple Amid Leadership Changes
#SEC #Ripple #XRP #cryptocurrency #blockchain #appeal #leadershipchanges #politics #DonaldTrump #GaryGensler #PAC # Fundraising
According to Cointelegraph, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is proceeding with its enforcement actions against Ripple, despite impending changes in its leadership. On January 14, Ripple's Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, announced that the SEC would not delay filing a brief in its appeal against a judgment involving the blockchain company. In August, a judge ruled that Ripple was liable for $125 million, accusing the firm of using XRP as an unregistered security to raise funds.
Alderoty criticized the SEC's actions, describing them as a "waste of time and taxpayer dollars." However, he expressed confidence in Ripple's position on appeal and anticipated working with the new SEC leadership to resolve the issue. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse supported Alderoty's statement, suggesting that the SEC's approach to cryptocurrency enforcement might shift following the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump on January 20. Trump had previously promised to dismiss SEC Chair Gary Gensler, who is set to resign on the same day.
The civil case against Ripple, initiated in December 2020 during Trump's first term under SEC Chair Jay Clayton, is moving to an appellate court following the August 2024 decision. The SEC is appealing a ruling where a federal judge determined that the XRP token did not necessarily qualify as a security. Alderoty noted that Ripple's appeal would not address this aspect of the judgment. It remains uncertain whether the next SEC head, whom Trump intends to nominate as former commissioner Paul Atkins, will continue the case against Ripple, pending Senate approval.
Alderoty has personally contributed over $300,000 to fundraising and political action committees (PACs) supporting Trump. Additionally, Ripple has donated $45 million to the Fairshake PAC, which spent more than $100 million on media campaigns backing "pro-crypto" candidates in the 2024 election cycle. Following the November 5 elections, Ripple announced an additional $25 million donation to the PAC for the 2026 midterms.#SEC #Ripple #XRP #cryptocurrency #blockchain #appeal #leadershipchanges #politics #DonaldTrump #GaryGensler #PAC # Fundraising
