A shorter trading week is still expected to bring significant market activity as investors monitor fresh inflation data and developments surrounding tensions in the Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crypto markets remained mostly unchanged over the past 24 hours, though prices received a boost over the weekend after US President Donald Trump suggested that a largely negotiated agreement with Iran could soon be finalized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kobeissi Letter also noted that progress may have been made toward extending a 60 day ceasefire related to the Iran conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week\u2019s economic calendar includes several important inflation reports that could further shape expectations around the US economy and Federal Reserve policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Economic Events Scheduled Between May 25 and May 29<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

US financial markets are closed on Monday in observance of Memorial Day. Even so, investors are expected to closely watch stock futures and crypto markets for any updates regarding potential US and Iran agreements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump later appeared less definitive about the negotiations, stating that if a deal with Iran is reached, it would be a \u201cgood and proper\u201d agreement. His comments contrasted with earlier remarks suggesting that negotiations were nearing completion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Axios, the White House no longer expects an official announcement on Monday and now believes discussions could continue for several more days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Economic data releases begin on Tuesday with the latest consumer confidence report for May, which is expected to reflect ongoing inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday is likely to be the most important day for markets, with the release of April\u2019s Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index alongside first quarter GDP figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ING economist James Knightley noted that higher gasoline prices may support headline spending figures, although broader economic weakness could still emerge in the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also warned that the PCE report is unlikely to reduce inflation concerns, especially as freight costs continue rising alongside fuel prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional reports due later in the week include April new home sales data and weekly jobless claims figures. However, investor attention is expected to remain heavily focused on geopolitical developments involving Iran and the White House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crypto Market Outlook<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total crypto market capitalization remained relatively flat over the past day, although Bitcoin managed to rebound after a sharp decline over the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BTC briefly dropped to $76,000 during late Sunday trading before recovering above $77,000 in Monday\u2019s Asian session. Analysts are currently watching the $78,000 level as a key resistance zone that could be challenged if positive developments emerge from ongoing US and Iran negotiations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ethereum continued to face weakness, slipping below the $2,100 mark on Monday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, most altcoins traded sideways, though Hyperliquid, Zcash, and Monero recorded modest gains.#crypto#cryptonews https:\/\/coinsignals.net<\/a> https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
