Odaily Planet Daily News Facing the multiple shocks of the Iran situation, the AI infrastructure boom, and extreme weather, global central bank governors have reconvened at Jackson Hole. With Fed Chair Warsh's communication style intertwined with bond market volatility, the market is eagerly seeking clear signals on inflation management.
Looking back at last year, then-Fed Chair Powell signaled rate cuts at this forum, while European officials also discussed further easing. However, a year later, the global economic landscape has been dramatically reshaped by the Iran conflict, the wave of artificial intelligence investment, and supply disruptions caused by extreme weather. Facing upward price pressures, some central banks have already taken the lead in raising rates, and more policymakers are preparing to follow suit.
The focus of this year's symposium is undoubtedly Kevin Warsh, the new Chair of the Federal Reserve. Since taking office, Warsh has departed from the Fed's long-standing communication tradition, abandoning explicit "forward guidance" and arguing that investors should rely more on market signals to gauge policy direction.

Odaily News: Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps spokesman Hossein Mohbi said regarding the latest situation in the Strait of Hormuz: "The Strait of Hormuz is currently under our control, and there are no enemy warships in the Persian Gulf." He added: "From a military and territorial jurisdiction perspective, no vessel can pass through this waterway without Iran's permission and acceptance of Iranian management."
Mohbi stated: "The Strait of Hormuz belongs to Iran and Oman, which faces us across the sea. About a month ago, we initiated negotiations with Oman and reached results acceptable to both sides." "During these negotiations, the two sides reached agreements on the shares of the Strait's waters held by each country, as well as the revenue shares that Iran and Oman would receive from it." "The United States is interfering in this process, which has caused delays in the related work." He emphasized: "If the United States does not accept our conditions, the Strait of Hormuz will never reopen." (Jin Shi)

Odaily News Bitcoin has rebounded strongly recently. Analysts believe that record-breaking short squeeze activity, along with policy signals from U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, may be pushing the market into a new phase of bull market cycle adjustment.
Data shows that Bitcoin has risen approximately 23% over the past week, marking its largest weekly gain since the post-U.S. election rally in November 2024. Crypto market trading activity has also recovered in tandem, with spot and perpetual contract trading volume surging 188%. CME Bitcoin futures volume rose 152%, and the annualized futures basis climbed to 11.1%—the highest level since January 2025. Additionally, Bitcoin ETF products recorded net inflows of approximately 31,740 BTC over the week, the strongest capital inflow since the market peak in October 2025.
Vetle Lunde, Head of Research at crypto research firm K33 Research, stated that the early phase of this rally was primarily driven by short covering. On August 19, Bitcoin short positions saw a single-day liquidation scale of $1.37 billion, a record high, followed by another $739 million in short liquidations on August 21. The massive short squeeze pushed open interest in perpetual contracts down to 284,000 BTC, the lowest level since May, while market funding rates also returned to neutral.
On the macro front, policy signals from U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent regarding increased long-term Treasury buybacks are also viewed by analysts as a market catalyst. K33 believes that the Treasury buyback program could lower long-term interest rates and boost demand for scarce assets. Meanwhile, Bitcoin's correlation with gold has risen, with the 90-day correlation coefficient reaching 0.52—the highest since October 2020—while its correlation with the Nasdaq index has declined to 0.38, a one-year low.
Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at crypto investment firm Bitwise Asset Management, believes that Bessent's recent remarks on sanctions against Iran's financial network have further strengthened Bitcoin's investment thesis: as the global financial system becomes increasingly influenced by geopolitics, the value of assets that are decentralized and do not rely on any single nation's financial system may appreciate further.

Odaily News: Avalanche Treasury Company (NASDAQ: AVAT), a digital asset treasury company in the Avalanche ecosystem, has announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2026. The company's board of directors has approved a $10 million share repurchase program for Class A common stock, aimed at addressing the market's undervaluation of the company and enhancing shareholder returns.
AVAT CEO Bart Smith stated that the company completed its business combination in Q2 and began trading on the Nasdaq on June 11. Despite pressure in the digital asset market, the Avalanche ecosystem continues to demonstrate growth momentum, with institutions gradually transitioning from exploration to practical applications in stablecoins, asset tokenization, payments, and real-world assets (RWA).
Financial data shows that AVAT reported a net loss of $44.7 million in Q2, with a loss of $1.54 per share. Of this total, approximately $35.7 million in losses stemmed from market value fluctuations in AVAX holdings, including changes in fair value, realized losses, and impairment charges; an additional approximately $15.2 million represented one-time transaction costs associated with completing the business combination, while core administrative expenses amounted to approximately $3.5 million.
As of June 30, 2026, AVAT held approximately 15.3 million AVAX tokens, with a holding value of approximately $100 million based on period-end prices. The company generated $1.5 million in net staking income from staking AVAX during Q2, bringing cumulative staking income for the first half of 2026 to $3.6 million. (Businesswire)
Odaily Planet Daily News NVIDIA (NVDA.O) will release its fiscal 2027 second-quarter earnings report after the US market closes on Wednesday. Wall Street generally expects the company to continue delivering strong growth, but investors' focus has shifted beyond just how much revenue can grow to whether AI capital expenditure can be sustained and whether NVIDIA can reduce its dependence on a few hyperscale customers.
The options market has already priced in significant post-earnings volatility. Based on current options prices, traders expect NVIDIA's stock to move approximately 6% in either direction by the end of this week. Based on Tuesday's closing price, a 6% upside could push the stock to around $225, approaching the record above $236 set in May; a 6% downside could see it fall back below $202.
So far this year, NVIDIA's stock is still up 14%, but it has retreated more than 10% from its May high. More notably, NVIDIA's stock has fallen on the day following each of its last four quarterly earnings releases. Morgan Stanley analysts recently said they are not optimistic that this trend will reverse. (CNBC)
