Global Financial Headlines
Crypto exchange Coinbase has made significant strides in the wrapped Bitcoin market, accumulating nearly 2,000 tokens in circulating supplies just a week after joining the race on September 12th. This rapid growth potentially challenges the dominance of long-established players in the sector. The Bank of England has maintained interest rates at 5%, signalling caution about future cuts. The central bank also refrained from accelerating the reduction of its bond holdings, a move that avoids additional budget pressures for Finance Minister Rachel Reeves. Gold prices have surged over 1% following the U.S. Federal Reserve's decision to launch its monetary easing cycle with a half percentage point move.
