 Volvo reports higher-than-expected profit and raises sales outlook Swedish truck maker Volvo reported a bigger-than-expected jump in second-quarter adjusted operating profit on Wednesday, and raised its outlook for the European and North American markets. Operating profit before restructuring charges and legal claims was 21.7 billion crowns ($2.12 billion), up from 13.8 billion a year earlier and topping the 18.4 billion mean forecast in a Refinitiv poll of analysts. Volvo said it expects industry-wide sales of 330,000 heavy trucks in the European market this year, and as many in North America, up from an April forecast of 320,000 in each of those markets. CEO Martin Lundstedt said Volvo had been successful in improving margins while managing cost inflation and increased disturbances in the supply chain. However, he also said that Volvo had been restrictive in taking orders, which had led to a decrease of 10% in order intake for the quarter.  

  The US dollar has rebounded from a 15-month low after the release of US retail sales data for June. The data showed that although headline sales rose less than expected, the May number was revised higher, and core sales showed more resilience, suggesting continued consumer resilience. The UK inflation data also weighed on the pound, as it showed that inflation fell to 7.9% in June, from May’s 8.7%. While this is still above the Bank of England's 2% target, it is a sign that inflation is starting to cool. The euro also fell back, as the final reading of the June eurozone CPI is expected to confirm that inflation rose 5.5% on the year last month, a drop from 6.1% the prior month. The Bank of Japan is also expected to keep interest rates unchanged next week, which could support the yen. Overall, the dollar is expected to continue to strengthen, as the US economy is showing signs of resilience. However, the pound and euro could see some relief if inflation data continues to c...

  Small whales are becoming increasingly popular in the cryptocurrency industry, particularly with Bitcoin. Individuals, institutions, and exchanges that own large quantities of a cryptocurrency's tokens are referred to as whales. A whale account, for example, is one that has 1,000 Bitcoins or more in Bitcoin (BTC). Pantera Capital and Fortress Investment Group are two instances of well-known whales. Satoshi Nakamoto, who is alleged to have mined over a million Bitcoins, is another well-known—yet widely speculated—whale. Bitcoin whales are similar to other prominent asset holders in that their actions have disproportionately large effects on the bitcoin market, either through higher volatility, lower liquidity, or a combination of the two. Whales frequently place enormous sell orders on the books that are lower than other sell positions in the market, causing price instability and a chain reaction. When whales take their massive sell orders off the market or cause enough panic sell...

Bitcoin is expected to reach $28,000, according to Peter Brandt.  This is not investment advice; instead, it is offered for informational reasons only. It does not necessarily reflect U.Today's viewpoint. Because every investment and every trade has risk, you should always conduct your own research before making any decisions. We do not advise investing funds that you cannot afford to lose. Bitcoin might reverse course, according to a famous trader with over 50 years of expertise, and fall below $30,000. The trader speculated that the next reversal might see the price sink below the rising channel. Since the middle of February, the trader has been using a very frequent pattern that Bitcoin has been creating. The channel's completion normally results in a decrease equal to the channel's width, as seen in the diagram. The daily BTC chart shows that it has already left the channel and is currently in free decline, with no substantial support zones built along the way. A...

 An upstate assemblywoman is battling bitcoin advocates as she defends a measure that would impose a two-year embargo on crypto mining in New York. Assemblywoman Anna Kelles (D-Ithaca) argued on social media over the aim of a bill that would allow the state time to examine the environmental implications of the contentious crypto mining process "My measure does not prohibit the use of cryptocurrency." "It's not even a mining prohibition," Kelles explained. "It's a two-year embargo on bitcoin mining activities at fossil-fuel power facilities." Cryptocurrency mining, or Bitcoin mining, consumes enormous amounts of energy as computers solve complicated math problems and authenticate digital currency transactions. Critics of the bill, which passed the Assembly's Ways and Means Committee on Monday, fear that it would force tech companies out of New York and transfer employment abroad. Opponents, according to Kelles, are deliberately mis...

AN ABSOLUTE PUBLICITY STUNT TO ATTRACT INVESTORS IS THE ETHEREUM MOVIE. Ethereum is preparing its next marketing gimmick to attract more investors. Ethereum has grown in popularity as one of the most widely used cryptocurrencies, putting Bitcoin in serious competition. Ethereum soared to become the second-largest cryptocurrency at a time when Bitcoin was the face and heart of the crypto industry. When the world is busy accepting Bitcoin as its legal tender, Ethereum remains the second-best and is likely to overtake Bitcoin shortly. Because of the increased rivalry among all cryptocurrencies, ETH has developed some of the most profitable services in the industry. Since its introduction in 2015, Ethereum has experienced tremendous growth and has recently experienced numerous significant price fluctuations. However, the difference between Bitcoin and Ethereum is that the latter allows developers to create and power new tools, apps, smart contracts, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). ...

After years of focusing on high-profile hedge funds, Anthony Scaramucci, whose interest in cryptocurrencies began during his brief stay in Washington, aims to refocus his SkyBridge Capital toward digital assets.
