Vivek Sharma of Gulaq Inflation has definitely not peaked out. We might remain in a high inflation regime for much longer, feels Vivek Sharma, Director (Strategy) and Head of Investments at Gulaq, a part of Estee Advisors. Sharma said the point of concern is the possibility of a hard landing of US economy because of the rising interest rates. Higher rates in-turn lead to FIIs pulling out money invested in India at increasing pace. This will have higher impact on stock markets than on economy. So the chances of a bear market are higher than that of a recession, said in an interview to Moneycontrol. Edited excerpts: Do you foresee a recession going ahead given the elevated oil prices? Elevated oil prices is definitely a cause of concern for Indian economy. Oil comprises about 20 percent of our import bill, so this directly impacts our current account deficit and puts pressure on rupee.

Crypto Funds Post Record $423 Million Outflows As Bitcoin Plunge Rattles Market
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline Investors piled out of cryptocurrency investment funds at a record pace last week after bitcoin plummeted to its lowest level in 18 months, crypto asset management firm CoinShares reported Monday, highlighting the bearishness that's come to a head this month as markets grapple with the Federal Reserve's reversal of pandemic-era stimulus measures.

Bruised bitcoin due relief after crypto wipeout, charts show
- A + A (June 27): The wipeout in Bitcoin may have run its course, a range of technical indicators suggest. Momentum measures and insights from options bets signal ebbing selling pressure and a possible trading range of US$20,000 to US$25,000 — though the usual caveats apply about the mercurial nature of cryptocurrencies. The largest digital token has slumped about 70% from a November record and was little changed at US$21,343 as of 8:38 a.m. Monday in London. It slid below US$18,000 earlier this month, before retaking the closely watched US$20,000 level. Tightening monetary policy, withering speculative ardor and collapsing digital-asset projects have spurred a broad crypto rout in 2022. But the mood in global markets is turning less dour on tentative hopes that the price pressures driving interest-rate hikes may be cresting. The lessons of Bitcoin’s past swoons suggest it’s in the vicinity of its bear-market low, according to Glassnode. This “bear market is now … [Read more...] about Bruised bitcoin due relief after crypto wipeout, charts show
What CPAs Should Think About During This Crypto Winter
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin As cryptoassets enter a new crypto winter, the temptation is to relegate cryptoassets (and blockchain) to the backburner, and that would be a disservice to the accounting profession as well as the investors seeking to allocate capital to this fast growing asset class. While cryptoassets have moved far beyond simply discussing bitcoin price volatility, Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) would be forgiven for remaining focused on the implications of said volatility. Given the dramatic drawdowns in prices across the crypto sector, the implosion of several prominent crypto banking protocols and increasingly negative sentiment, allocating even more time to crypto might seem like an odd choice. That said, even during the current crypto winter, the pace and prevalence of crypto adoption continues to accelerate almost unimpeded. With the number of individuals using cryptoassets numbering in the hundreds of millions, with a billion … [Read more...] about What CPAs Should Think About During This Crypto Winter

You can listen to an audio version of the newsletter by clicking the same link. London (CNN Business) Europe and the United States have barred the import of Russian oil to cut off a crucial revenue source for the Kremlin. But the plan to pile pain on President Vladimir Putin, forcing him to reconsider his war in Ukraine, hasn't worked . Russia's government is making just as much money from energy exports as it was before the invasion. Meanwhile, inflation is surging globally, adding to political pressure on heads of state such as US President Joe Biden, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and French President Emmanuel Macron. That's forcing leaders from top economies who have gathered in Germany for a G7 meeting to consider a new route: slapping price caps on Russian crude .

Political Ads Targeting Inflation Ahead Of Midterm Elections Could Force The Fed To Keep Hiking Rates: Goldman Sachs
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline The Federal Reserve’s “heightened sensitivity” to rising inflation expectations could be triggered by a barrage of political ad campaigns that are expected to highlight surging consumer prices ahead of the midterm elections in November, analysts at Goldman Sachs warned on Friday, adding that the central bank may feel “compelled” to keep hiking rates aggressively.
