Key Crypto Market Figures

Trakx Weekly Update: May 15, 2023

CTIs Weekly Performance

Crypto prices remained in consolidation mode over the past week, with the Trakx Top 10 Crypto CTI down 5% on the week. For a second successive week it was the Trakx Inflation Hedge CTI that recorded the best performance, declining by less than 1%, while the Diversifier and NFT Metaverse indices witnessed the weakest performance, off by 11% and 10% respectively.

The ongoing choppy behaviour of crypto is very much a reflection of considerable uncertainty about the macro environment, which is also impacting tradfi asset markets leaving them largely directionless. The greatest near-term source of uncertainty relates to the US debt ceiling stand off. However, the more substantive risk relates to Fed interest rate policy. Investors continue to anticipate a swift return to Fed easing amid increasing concern that the regional banking crisis is curtailing credit – potentially a harbinger of a hard-landing/recession. Yet, as last week’s US CPI report illustrated, inflation remains well-above target making it very difficult for the Fed to justify trimming borrowing costs. We plan to publish on this topic later this week, so stay tuned.
