Bitcoin Surges to $60,000 as Markets Brace for Potential Fed Rate Cut

Bitcoin has climbed back to $60,000, fueled by anticipation of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut expected next week. Bitcoin’s rally comes as markets prepare for the possibility of a 25-50 basis point rate reduction, a move that many believe could further boost BTC and risk-on investments.

This week’s announcement that U.S. inflation has dropped to 2.5%, lower than expectations, has potentially paved the way for such a move.

Just yesterday, the European Central Bank cut its key interest rate by 0.25 percentage points, following the Bank of Canada’s decision to also reduce its policy rate by 25 basis points last week.
