Global Financial Headlines
Despite transfers from the Mt. Gox bankruptcy estate and worries of a US Government sell-off, Bitcoin exchange inflows have dropped significantly since early August. After a strong start to the month, US business activity fell to a 4-month low in August, and firms continued to struggle to pass on higher prices to customers, bolstering the likelihood that inflation will stay on a downward trend over the coming months. Oil prices settled up more than 1% as expectations for a US interest rate cut in a few weeks fuelled a rebound after 4 days of price declines. Brent crude futures settled up 1.54%.
