    BoC will ‘likely’ cut rates by 50bps amid ‘below-potential GDP growth’: Citi

    Gross Domestic Product (GDP) rose 1% on a seasonally adjusted annualized rate (SAAR) in Q3, well below the BoC’s October estimate of 1.5%. The central bank had initially projected growth as high as 2.8% in July.Citi analysts pointed to uneven economic trends given household consumption grew 3.5% in the quarter on robust goods and services spending, with government expenditure also providing a boost.However, business investment fell sharply, with machinery and equipment investment plummeting 27.7%.Analyst said recent fiscal measures, including a sales tax holiday and household rebates, could sustain consumer spending in the coming months “but increased uncertainty around US trade actions could weigh further on investment.”Analyst anticipates BoC to conclude in December that restrictive interest rates are overly suppressing demand, which will likely increase the chances of a 50-basis-point rate cut, bringing rates to the upper range of the neutral rate.The BoC’s next policy announcement is scheduled for December 11.

    Bitcoin (BTC) Makes Final Push to $100,000

    Interestingly, despite disappointing investors and traders because it has yet to climb past the anticipated $100,000, Bitcoin’s performance remains striking. CoinGlass data reveal that Bitcoin recorded staggering growth this November, or about a 37% rise.This is the fourth-best month for Bitcoin in terms of price performance since October 2021. This month’s performance is surpassed only by 44% growth in February 2024 and 40% in January 2023 and October 2021. This month’s performance is linked to various macroeconomic factors, including rate cuts.Meanwhile, the expiration of Bitcoin’s options contracts worth $9.4 billion has also nudged the coin up a bit in the market. However, Bitcoin market volume has dropped considerably by 34.48% to $47.10 billion. This metric signals investors have remained cautious about the coin’s ability to cross $100,000 this cycle.For instance, there is a growing rekindling of interest from institutional players. Although institutional enthusiasm for Bitcoin appears to have suffered a decline, renewed interest could act as a catalyst to fuel price action. Spot Bitcoin ETF products are now accessible to investors in the U.S. and other regions.Regardless of the current price level, the prediction for Bitcoin in 2025 suggests that significant growth is possible. Some analysts predict the growth could flow from the remaining days of 2024 and hit a high of $200,000.This article was originally published on U.Today More

    Silk Road’s Ross Ulbricht Issues Thanksgiving Post After Teasing His Possible Coming Release

    In this X post, he once again hinted that he might be released from prison for good soon, saying that he has “a lot to be thankful for this year.”Earlier this week, on Nov. 26, Ulbricht tweeted that he is beginning to “get used to the reality” that he might be released from prison permanently soon, hinting at the pledge made by the new U.S. political leader during the election campaign that he would end Ross Ulbricht’s prison sentence once he takes the office. He stated that 11 years is enough for the crime the Silk Road founder committed.The Silk Road was founded in 2011 as a marketplace where users would be able to trade without the government’s supervision and control, with Bitcoin used as the currency for payments. However, it was drug and arms dealers who became the most active sellers on that platform. In 2012, the FBI shut down the Silk Road, sending Ross Ulbricht to prison for two lifetime sentences. He has spent more than 4,000 days behind bars already, according to a tweet he published in the middle of September.Now, he believes that after 11 years in prison cells, his sentence might be cancelled thanks to the change in U.S. political leadership. The crypto community has been supporting Ulbricht all these years, signing a petition requesting that he should be set free and conducting various public campaigns, attracting attention to his case.This article was originally published on U.Today More
