Bitcoin Fluctuates as Binance SEC lawsuit Rattles Investors

market news summary

European stock indices rose at the end of yesterday’s session on June 6, amid investors’ lack of sufficient information about the future monetary policy path of central banks. At the end of the session, the STOXX600 index rose by about 0.38% to 461 points, the German DAX increased by 0.18% to 15,992 points, the British FTSE gained about 0.37% at 7,628 points, and the French CAC rose by 0.1% to 7,209 points.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed an emergency motion in a federal court in Washington, D.C. to freeze the assets of Binance US and recover the assets (fiat and cryptocurrency) held by customers on the Binance US trading platform. The request for freezing applies to the two holding companies affiliated with Binance in America, not the unregulated international exchange in America.

Dollar Index (USDX)

The US dollar continued its decline from a two-and-a-half-month high it reached last week against major currencies, following unexpectedly weak data on the US services sector released yesterday evening. The data strengthened expectations that the Federal Reserve would not raise interest rates at its meeting next week. However, this casts a shadow over expectations for monetary policy in the coming months.
