Index

A crypto Index provides a way for investors to gain diversified exposure to a specific basket of digital assets through a single tokenized product. These indices often track specific sectors, such as DeFi, DePIN, or RWA, and are automatically rebalanced via smart contracts. In 2026, AI-managed thematic indices have become the gold standard for passive investing, allowing users to track the "blue chips" of the Web3 economy without manual portfolio management. This tag covers index methodology, rebalancing frequency, and the benefits of diversified crypto baskets.

Bitcoin jumps to $113k as US producer prices shock with surprise August drop

The post Bitcoin jumps to $113k as US producer prices shock with surprise August drop appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. US producer prices fell in August, reinforcing a weaker inflation outlook just a day after major revisions showed US employment levels overstated by nearly one million jobs. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the Producer Price Index declined 0.1 percent on the month, below forecasts for a 0.4 percent increase. Core PPI also fell 0.1 percent, with annual readings slowing to 2.8 percent from 3.4 percent in July. US PPI data (Source: Trading Economics) The release follows last week’s data showing August nonfarm payrolls added only 22,000 positions, while unemployment rose to 4.3 percent. A separate benchmark revision revealed total employment had been overstated by 911,000 jobs, bringing the cumulative downward adjustment over the past year to 1.5 million. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the corrections showed the Federal Reserve maintained restrictive policy based on incomplete data. Average hourly earnings rose 0.3 percent on the month and 3.7 percent from a year earlier, matching forecasts. 5 Days to Smarter Crypto Moves Learn how pros avoid bagholding, spot insider front-runs, and capture alpha — before it’s too late.

Combined with revised productivity figures showing a 3.3 percent gain in the second quarter and unit labor costs up just 1 percent, the inflation backdrop has eased. Still, services inflation remains firm, with the ISM prices index near 69 in August. Markets rallied on the softer PPI print, viewing it as support for Federal Reserve rate cuts at the September policy meeting. Bitcoin rose 1.1 percent to $113,449, while Ethereum gained 1.2 percent to $4,372. The S&P 500 climbed 0.34 percent to $654, extending earlier gains as investors priced in easier financial conditions.

Wells Fargo CEO Charles Scharf sees downside to U.S. economy

Wells Fargo CEO Charles Scharf sees downside to U.S. economy

The post Wells Fargo CEO Charles Scharf sees downside to U.S. economy appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Wells Fargo CEO Charles Scharf said Wednesday that while corporations and higher-income consumers are thriving, lower income Americans are struggling to stay afloat. The bank’s data shows that “companies are in really great shape” and spending and debt repayment rates among all income levels has been steady, but there are signs of stress among lower earners, Scharf said in an interview on CNBC’s Squawk Box. “There is this big dichotomy between higher-income and lower-income consumers which continues and is a real issue,” Scharf said. “The low end is spending the money that they have, so their balances are below … pre-pandemic levels; they are living on the edge,” he said. Scharf was responding to questions about the U.S. economy the day after JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said that a Labor Department report showed the economy is weakening. Hiring has slowed to a near halt in recent months, and the department’s latest revision on Tuesday lowered job creation by 911,000 positions for the year through March. “When you look at just the overall data in terms of jobs, it’s undeniable,” Scharf said. “So yeah, things actually feel very good today, certainly relative to what you think they could be,” he said. “But it’s not equal across wealth spectrums, and there’s probably more downside than upside.” Executives and investors are grappling with mixed signals about the U.S. economy in the first year of President Donald Trump’s second tenure. Stock indexes are near all-time high levels amid persistent concerns over price inflation and mounting worries over job creation. In his dealings with middle market companies across the U.S., Scharf said that many CEOs support Trump’s efforts to address the country’s trade imbalances with his tariff policies. Even so, the tariffs are a likely driver of low job creation, he said. “They’re willing…

Unexpected decline in U.S. PPI in August strengthens case for Fed rate cut

Unexpected decline in U.S. PPI in August strengthens case for Fed rate cut

PANews reported on September 10th that according to Jinshi, the U.S. producer price index unexpectedly fell in August, the first decline in four months, further strengthening the case for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates. According to a report released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on Wednesday, the Producer Price Index (PPI) fell 0.1% month-over-month, with July's data revised downward. Year-over-year, the PPI rose 2.6%. The report showed that despite Trump's tariffs pushing up business costs, businesses avoided significant price increases last month. While the decline followed a sharp increase in July, many businesses are concerned that significant price increases could scare off customers amid ongoing economic uncertainty affecting consumer decisions. Prices of goods excluding food and energy rose 0.3%, while the cost of services fell 0.2%. In the services sector, profit margins for wholesalers and retailers fell 1.7%, the largest drop in over a year. Profit margins have fluctuated significantly from month to month this year, highlighting the uncertainty surrounding the impact of trade policy on prices and demand.

Analysts comment on the US August PPI: CPI data may also be weaker than expected, just like PPI

Analysts comment on the US August PPI: CPI data may also be weaker than expected, just like PPI

PANews reported on September 10th that according to Jinshi, Adam Button, an analyst at the US financial website investinglive, said tomorrow's Consumer Price Index (CPI) report is a strong signal that the data may fall short of expectations, prompting a rally in US stock index futures. A lower-than-expected CPI result—especially one so significant—would increase the likelihood of a 50 basis point interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve. The Producer Price Index (PPI), excluding food and energy, saw its largest month-over-month decline in the past decade.
