BTC has climbed above the psychological $114,000 level, representing a 2-week high for the flagship crypto. The Ethereum price broke above $4,400 while BNB broke above $900, reaching a new ATH in the process.

Meanwhile, the S&P 500 is also rallying today. TradingView data shows that the SPX opened at $6,550, marking a new all-time high (ATH) for the stock market index. Notably, the SPX had closed yesterday’s trading session at a then record high of $6,512.

Oracle stock (ORCL) has been one of the major gainers today in the S&P 500. The stock is up over 40% after the company raised its revenue forecast yesterday. NVIDIA’s stock is also up almost 5%, recording the highest gains among the ‘Magnificent 7’ stocks.

This broad market rally follows the PPI data release, with the inflation figures coming in lower than expectations. This has further fueled hopes that the Fed will make a rate cut at the upcoming FOMC meeting next week.

Moreover, with inflation steady while the labor market continues to weaken, there is optimism that the Fed may make a surprise 50 basis points (bps) rate cut, rather than a 25 bps cut.

Calls For a 50 BPS Rate Cut Increase

Amid the crypto market and the S&P 500 rally, and the release of economic data, market experts have continued to urge the Fed to make a 50-basis-point rate cut this month. One of these experts includes BlackRock’s Chief Investment Officer (CIO), Rick Rieder, who has been calling for a rate cut since the first half of the year.

Mohamed A. El-Erian, former CEO of PIMCO, said in a CNBC interview today that he would seriously argue for a 50 bps cut at the September meeting if he were on the Fed Board. He is advocating for a 50 bps cut because of the jobs data, which indicates that the labor market is weakening.

U.S. President Donald Trump also said that Jerome Powell must lower rates following the PPI data release. He said that the Fed Chair must make a “big” cut right now. This follows a Truth Social post yesterday in which he floated the idea of a 100 bps rate cut.
