MOSCOW, RUSSIA – JULY 15: Didier Deschamps head coach / manager of France celebrates with the FIFA World Cup trophy he has now won the World Cup as both a player and manager during the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia Final between France and Croatia at Luzhniki Stadium on July 15, 2018 in Moscow, Russia. (Photo by Robbie Jay Barratt – AMA/Getty Images) Getty Images There’s no such thing as time in international football. Coaches are asked to build greatness in fragments: a few days here, a few days there, brief windows snatched between club seasons. In those scraps, they’re expected to build strategy, rhythm and belief, then step back and wait for the spotlight of the World Cup to expose every gap in front of the world. The job of an international manager may seem more pedestrian than the constant maelstrom of the club game. But while fewer games and training days across a campaign

With Bitcoin (BTC) price having underperformed Gold (XAU) and the broader United States stock market in 2026, Matthew Sigel, the head of digital assets research at VanEck, has made a bold prediction. Bitcoin price could hit $160,000 if it reclaims its all-time high relative to gold, Sigel said. The prediction, analyzed by Finbold on May 12, is based on the BTC/XAU pair recovering to 35x, its previous peak, from its current level of 17.1x. Bitcoin / Gold Cross. US Stock Market Cap / GDP.

As such, Sigel suggested that BTC price could easily surge beyond his target, since the prediction is pegged on the flagship coin catching up to where equities are
The post US Dollar: Inflation focus shapes rate expectations – TD Securities appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
TD Securities economists highlight that higher US Treasury yields followed headlines on Middle East tensions and upcoming supply, with attention now turning to April United States (US) Consumer Price Index (CPI). They expect core CPI to print above consensus and headline CPI to remain firm, driven by shelter adjustments and energy and food prices, which could influence Dollar and rates pricing over the coming days. US CPI and yields in spotlight “On Tuesday, focus will be on CPI, where our forecast of 0.38% m/m for core is slightly above consensus of 0.36% m/m.” “We also expect a headline print of 0.56% m/m as oil continues to pass through into inflation.” “We look for core CPI inflation to accelerate to 0.38% m/m in April, largely owing to the rebound in shelter prices from methodological adjustments (consensus: 0.3%), with oil prices also likely passing through into airfa

The post US Dollar: Risk sentiment offsets data support – MUFG appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
MUFG’s strategists note that the US Dollar (USD) has weakened despite solid United States (US) jobs data, as optimism over a potential US/Iran deal and surging US equities support risk appetite. They highlight downside risks to the US economy, scope for Federal Reserve (Fed) easing later this year, and warn that prolonged conflict and energy shocks could eventually limit Dollar selling. Dollar pressured by risk appetite “The US dollar weakened further last week with no resolution to the Middle East conflict in sight. Attacks in the Strait of Hormuz increased but the US maintains the ceasefire remains in place. That has seen oil prices drop over the last week.” “The magnitude of such strong risk appetite is lifting global optimism and encouraging US dollar selling. A strong US jobs report was not enough to trigger US dollar strength. The US Dollar could still see renewed gains and the lon
