A Chinese chipmaker's blockbuster IPO dominates the day, while the rest of the market watches for China's PMI and US consumer confidence. Crypto sees a modest inflow reversal and a fresh exchange wind-down.
The biggest story today is a Chinese chipmaker's stunning debut, putting the spotlight on China's semiconductor push.
China's CXMT surged 471% on its first trading day, giving it a market cap above Intel's. That's a massive vote of confidence in China's domestic chip ambitions, even as the broader tech sector faces headwinds.
Between China's slowing industrial profits and a packed data week, traders are bracing for PMIs and consumer confidence prints.
China's industrial profit growth slowed for a second straight month in June, as falling oil prices ate into the price gains that had fueled the rebound. The 15.1% year-on-year gain is still strong, but the deceleration is clear.
US consumer confidence data lands a day before the Fed's decision, with the 'jobs hard to get' measure at a five-year high. That could sway the dollar and rate expectations if it surprises.
Bitcoin ETFs finally saw net inflows after a long outflow streak, but an exchange wind-down and a stablecoin breach remind the market that risks haven't gone away.
Bitcoin ETFs saw $33 million in net inflows, the first notable positive day after a long stretch of outflows in 2026. It's a small reversal, but it might signal a shift in sentiment.
BitMart's wind-down is starting to bite: withdrawal speeds have dropped sharply, with only $805k moved in 24 hours. Users are still able to withdraw, but the slowdown suggests a rush may have already passed.
Stablecoin payments firm Triple-A confirmed a treasury wallet breach that hit $11.8 million in losses. Client funds weren't affected, but it's a reminder of the operational risks in crypto finance.
