The post Bitcoin Surges on “Clarity” Momentum appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. // News Reading time: 2 min Published: May 10, 2026 at 18:24 The long-awaited $80,000 barrier has finally been shattered. Today, May 10, 2026, Bitcoin (BTC) reached an intra-day high of $80,690, buoyed by a powerful wave of institutional inflows and a critical legislative update in the United States.

The post How Important Are Global Saving Imbalances? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Global imbalances are smaller than they were in 2007, but they have not disappeared. getty Few topics in international economics dominated the policy conversation of the early 2000s as completely as global saving imbalances. The fear at the time was that the United States had become the borrower of last resort for the world’s excess saving, running current-account deficits on a scale that could not continue indefinitely, and that when the imbalance unwound, the adjustment might be abrupt and ugly.
